Trying to watch TV on second monitor...
Hello,
Here's my situation: Monitor 1: - Medion MD1998PB 19" @ 1024 x 768 @ 32-bits colordepth @ 100 Hertz - Running on MEDION RADEON 9600 TX Monitor 2: - ADI MicroScan 4V 15" @ 1024 x 768 @ 32-bits colordepts @ 75 Hertz - Running on MEDION RADEON 9600 TX Secondary I installed ATI CATALYST 4.8 drivers with the ATI controlpanel (tried 4.9, that didn't work properly). My TV/Tuner card is MEDION TV-TUNER 7134 MK2/3. The thing is when I am using CyberLink PowerCinema 2.0 powered by MEDION, that I can watch TV on monitor 1, but as soon as I drag it to monitor 2 the TV window turns black, but I keep hearing the TV. When I drag Media Player with a random movie (DivX, etc.) to my second monitor there is no problem at all. Also when I doubleclick on the video for fullscreen mode, the movie goes fullscreen on the second monitor without any problems. When I try to doubleclick on the black TV screen on monitor 2, it goes fullscreen on monitor 1 (!) and then I see the TV again. I tried several settings with the ATI control panel, but no luck. Does anybody have experienced the same problem/situation and/or knows how to solve it? Thanks it advance! Yours, Mattie |

So I know it's possible. I'm not sure which drivers I had installed back then. I am currently running Windows XP Professional SP2 btw (so with DirectX 9.0c). I really would like to have it back, so I can watch TV on monitor 2, while doing other stuff on the main monitor... So you are suggesting that it has to do with the drivers? What should I do? |

Put the monitors into extended desktop mode, then drag the window over. It will not show on clone mode, don't use Hydravision. |

The problem with my PC is that I have a customized version of CyberLinks' PowerCinema. It's customized by MEDION so that it works for my MEDION TV card with a Philips chipset. So I guess I can't just download the latest PowerCinema from CyberLink. |

Go to overlay and set either "same on all" or "theater mode" depending on whether you want it in a window or full screen on the second display. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |

While this is a true statement it has no bearing on the issue. If you display TV on the primary display in clone mode and if you on the primary display go to the overlay settings and select either "same on both" or "theater mode", then TV will display on both monitors. -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
