If you have hd card, it might be your cable company not providing hd signal. If you have analog card, and have HD signal that will cause it too.

I've had the same problem with two other unrelated HP input products in this area myself so I understand the pain. Media Center is not really well geared for nor is very friendly in the end user component input area. I'm assuming you've already tried playing a video file from your camcorder while setting up the Media Center input settings? Try a different software that will recognize your input card. Ideally, you should use any input software that came with the card itself from the manufacturer. Contact the manufacturer for a link to the original software bundle if you can't find it from their website or you may need to research your own replacement software solution for this product.

Okay, Media center does not work with some Wintv HVR's yet it will work with the software it came with and sometimes media center will use the wintv software to make it work but its sketchy. If you want a more media center compatiable card look at www.microsoft.com website they have a list of media center compatable Tv tuner cards, Trust me I am having the same problem with my tuner card now and its not wintv its a RCA and its under windows 7 this is just the thing here not all card work with media center.

If you want to connect your TV and your desktop.
you need the AGP card or the TV tuner card. If you want the TV programs to be save then use a video capture card also.

If my memory serves me correctly, you need vista pro. home just isn't powerful enough and not made for it.

It's analog.  You need to purchase a digital receiver.  I personally have a USB external digital tuner running in Media Center 2005.  Search Ebay for "ATSC usb".  There's a lot of different options and most of them are pretty inexpensive.  To use a digital tuner in Media Center 2005, you have to leave the analog tuner / tuners in also.  You should still be able to use your current remote control with the new digital tuner.

ur tv tuner is not of a good quality i think.....just go for pinnacle...or turn on to dish tv over cable as it is digital not analog one...

i ahve the same issue.

better contact HP service center as it is still under wtty. I can guide you but no use wreking your brains over what can be done in minutes by HP technician.
