S-Video input...

[Guest]

I have an AverTV 1500 MCE tuner card, and I'm trying to use the S-video input
for my PS2. I see from other questions on here that MCE makes it terribly
difficult to switch inputs, and that it runs a 2-3 second delay, but I cannot
even install the video software that came with the card, because shortly
after I run the setup, it tells me that "Windows Media Center Edition does
not require this software, aborting installation now.". Does anyone know of
a way to bypass this, or am I pretty much out of luck? I tried running it in
different compatibilty modes in some vain hope of it going through, but as I
figured, it wouldn't work.

You need to connect your MCE remote and its IR blaster then configure MCE
for TV input using S-Video. You then need to pretent to run a TV program
and have the PS2 S-Video input connected instead of that from a TV STB. If
you are not going to use it to watch TV then do not install the MCE software
and drivers for the card but install Hauppauge WinTV2K software from the
Hauppauge Website under XP and use it and not MCE it will confiugre much
easier for you and there will be no delays. On my Vista system I can use
my Hauppauge 150 under MC with its antenna connection or WinTV2K under
Vista.
