Beyond TV,Windows 7 Media Center?

[kakeball]

Hello All,

Just wondering if I use and set up Windows 7 Media Center Edition on a
computer with Beyond TV, will there be any conflict with Beyond TV ?? Any
problems with the guide, etc... ??? Any info would be highly appreciated.

So what you mean is that you're going to install Beyond TV on a Win 7 computer (there is no "Media Center Edition" of Windows 7, it's standard).

Here's what they say:

(Beyond TV is known to work on both 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems, but SnapStream Technical Support will only be able to assist users of 32-bit operating systems.)

So if you're going to use 32-bit, there should be no problem. However, my suggestion would be to give Media Center a spin and decide if you really want something else.

OSprey4 I want to use Beyond TV on a Win 7 computer and "Media Center Edition both to record together will it work ?

You'll need two separate tuner cards if the program sources are different. And unless the PC is an absolute beast you will have all sorts of framerate and/or other problems.
Why would you want to have two separate programs doing the same thing, anyways? Thats like running two antivirus programs at the same time. It just does more harm than good.

Not unless your tuner card has dual tuners. This isn't an application limitation. It's a tuner limitation.

osprey4 I am not technical Not unless your tuner card has dual tuners. This isn't an application limitation. It's a tuner limitation. ?I have a tuner card for beyond tv MCE is built in to windows 7 ? no tuner card needed then ?

[osprey4]

Your computer must have a TV tuner card to watch TV on the computer. Some of these have dual tuners, like this one.

I'm not technical either. Hope that helps.
