Major Video Problem with TV Wonder USB
The source is a DirecTV receiver hooked up via composite. Also tried
S-video, and coax. The video plays about 2 seconds worth, then just keeps repeating that small loops. The audio is fine. Changing the channel on the receiver can be heard via audio as expected, but the video remains stuck in that 2 second loop. Even when I turn off the receiver. I installed, reinstalled, drivers, new drivers, old drivers, etc. Some changes rendered NO video, but the most is works is as above. Any ideas? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! |

So I did more testing and here's what happened - perhaps the additional details will generate some helpful responses! 1.. Wondering if there may be some sort of copy-protection coming off the satellite box, I ooked in the analog cable TV line (cable TV service still active for now as well as satellite.) Scanned for channels and it worked! 2. Connected compostie outs of satellite box to AV in of DV camcorder, fed that into PC via Firewire. VIdeo capture software picked it up fine. (Nero 6) 3. Nero 6 ALSO was able read the ATI in the same way, worked fine. 4. SO then I got fancy, decided to try out Nero 7. That's where it all fell apart again, and back to square one - with the jerky 2 sec loop of video as above.. What could cause this? |

Check the manual for the Dell and make sure the TV Wonder is plugged into a USB 2 port. Some of Dell's laptops have only one USB 2 port, the others are 1.1 which would explain the repeating video which requires USB 2. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Major Video Problem with TV Wonder USB
The original TV Wonder USB (the one in the translucent Ruby Red case)
was only a USB 1.x device, not USB 2.0. If he has the newer one, then "TV Wonder USB" isn't the correct complete name. And it matters a lot, as the software for the two is totally different.

I agree. I only responded to the part that "some Dells are mixed USB1 and
USB2. They're not. "Barry Watzman" wrote in message ... The original TV Wonder USB (the one in the translucent Ruby Red case) was only a USB 1.x device, not USB 2.0.
