"Autoscan" button greyed out in TV channels initialisation wizard.
I'm just trying to setup the TV of my 8500DV using MMC 8.5 under Win XP Pro.
When I start TV, the TV channels initialisation wizard starts and I get to the page for selecting Fast Search or exhaustive search but whichever one I choose the autoscan button is greyed out so I am unable to proceed. Can anyone tell me how I can resolve this. Thanks for any info. Ian |

"JAD" wrote in message ink.net... you chose a country? Hi JAD Thanks for replying. Aha! I've just realised that the region box in step 1 should give me a list of countries - but its blank. If I click on the drop down button the list is empty. So this is probably why the autoscan is greyed out. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks Ian |

Thanks Ian You would appear to be in the UK, Ian, so could it be that you've upgraded to DX 9.0b? The well known PAL tuner killer?

See http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;825116. patrickp Hey patrickp Thanks! That did the trick. I'm very grateful to you for the info and the link. I didnt know about this. Guess I havent got my finger on the pulse after all! Although I'm now able to autoscan and its picked up 11 channels - none of them are useable - black fuzzy screens and noise. Ive checked the video settings for each channel - for some reason NTSC is always selected - even though I chose UK region prior to the autoscan. Anyway even after trying all the PAL options I still dont see a picture. The odd thing is, when I come out of setup and just switch through the TV channels the broadcast appears for a brief second and then it reverts to mush. So its picking up something but not hanging to to it. I suspect I may have a poor signal feed so I'll have a go with another aerial cable. Thanks again. Ian |
