Just got a Quad Core Gateway with Vista-64 installed so I wanted to stream out to my 360 in the other room.?
Also I am in IT and have done as much troubleshooting as I can think of. I am just hoping someone has something I missed.
Thanks
Just got a Quad Core Gateway with Vista-64 installed so I wanted to stream out to my 360 in the other room. I have ATT Uverse and I'm trying to run the box from the wall to the box to the PC via Coax. I had an old Tuner card before that Vista couldn't detect so I bought a AverMedia A188c PCIe(1) Pure ATSC tuner card that said worked fine with Vista/7-64.
Card Info-Description from NewEgg
This digital TV receiver not only receives Over-the-Air (ATSC)/Unencrypted ClearQAM (Digital Cable) signals but supports HD sound and image quality up to 1080i resolution, with variable aspect ratios of 4:3 and 16:9. Thanks to the high bandwidth of the PCIex1 interface you can watch flicker free HDTV on your Windows Media Center PC. Advanced PVR functionality lets you pause and rewind live TV, schedule recordings ahead of time and fast forward through the show to watch it at your own pace.
Installed nicely but when I try and setup the tuner card WMC sees it as a TV-Antenna with low signal and if I try and do it manually it let's me choose the tuner card I want but never let's me choose Cable, Uverse, Antenna or anything it just automatically pulls TV Antenna. And that is where I get stuck. Everyone says that during the TV Tuner Setup in WMC I will be asked if I want Antenna, Cable, Satelite and so on. But I'm never asked this during my setup.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rich
Colanth...Yes it does.
Joseph. Yeah I have 360 setup as an extender and I can listen/stream music from my PC to the 360. So I know how to do all that.
After I posted this I did stumble across something on MS site stating they don't support ASTC/NSTC combos or whatever which I believe mine is. So there is a hotfix I can run to see if that will help. I will look into the apps you mentioned since I had really no idea where to start prior to your post.
Thanks.
I have Windows 7-64 coming in the mail this week...anyone know if WMC on that OS works with these cards?

Let me see if I can break it down to understand it. First off, you can't stream your PC to the 360 like viewing Windows desktop on the 360. You can however record television shows on the PC and with the 360 receive those recorded television shows.
You need to set your WMC to accept sharing with the 360. With the 360 plugged into your network, Windows Vista/7 detects Media Extender and you can run the wizard to turn it on.
------------------------
For your WMC to receive QAM, you need to search online for QAM Windows Media Center and follow the instructions on downloading the WMC patch for TV Pack and other plugins needed to scan for your QAM tuner.
QAM tuners won't work correctly with WMC unfortunately. I've experimented with this before and it detects only a few unencrypted channels. When you detect them with a 20% signal instead of a 100% signal (my house wiring sucks), you get 4-2, 5-1, 9-1 and a few other channels with misaligned channel guide. You can reprogram the channels properly, but the channels may alter themselves though.
I would recommend using a stronger QAM channel recorder such as Snapstream BeyondTV or SageTV for Windows, OS X Elgato EyeTV, or another program that may be available for other OSs like Linux.

WMC doesn't do HDTV. You'll have to use the software that came with the card.
