It took forever to get the software to download to my iMac G5. Every time I'd try to install, I'd get an error message. Somehow, although I do not recall the means by which I did it, I got the software onto the computer.
Now when I click on the My TVX icon, I do actually get a menu bar: MY TVX, file, devices, window.
The simplest thing should be obvious. How do I know if the device is on and working? There are no lights that I can tell. Nor can I tell toward which end (or top or bottom) to point the remote.
It would appear to the untrained eye that the software wants to run (finally), but that the hardware is not being recognized.
Thank you!
It just means that it is not not registered to work with windows by microsoft.
The manufacturer doesnt have to work with Microsoft to make their products work.
If possible you can go ahead with the installation. To be safe set a restore point before doing so, though
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.

Bad capacitors often cause the no-turn-on problem. This page has a good picture of what bad caps look like in the G5. If you see this trouble in your G5, you might be able to get this going. Kits of capacitors are available (here's the place I got some from) and If you're comfortable with electronic soldering and replacing parts on a printed circuit board, changing out the duds may be all that's needed. I've seen three of these now. On one, there was just a single bad cap that was keeping the computer from starting up. It's certainly worth looking into.
Thank you for contacting Fixya Support, I am glad to assist.
There are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot this issue:
Try a PMU Reset: * Turn of your iMac if it is already turned off * Disconnect all connections to the iMac except the power cord * Now disconnect the power cord for approximately 20 seconds * Reconnect just the power cable the keyboard, mouse and power cord, and then power your iMac G5 up.
* Check to see if the iMac boots up normally without power interruption.
* If the iMac G5 shuts off again, try these steps, another recommendation would be to remove all connections including the power cord, and lay the iMac G5 on soft cloth face down and with a philips screwdriver, remove the plate on the bottom of the iMac G5 where your RAM memory is located. Before removing the RAM however, touch your hand on the metal boot to discharge any static current you carry for approximately 5 seconds.
Now remove each RAM card and then reseat (re-install) each card.
Restore the RAM card cover with your Philips screwdriver, reconnect your power cable, keyboard and mouse and turn on your iMac G5.
See if this second procedure helps if the first procedure does not work.
When you boot up g5 hold down the command button (apple logo) and the letter s at the same time to but the g5 in single user mode. When it boot in single user mode type fsck -f so it can check disk on the hard drive and repair Mac OS X. After it done doing check disk type exit and see if it will boot up regularly.
