For most users,
you do not need to change your TV Tuner settings, but if you're experiencing
tuning or channel changing problems, or you want to change your Input Type
to Antenna from Cable or vise versa, then this might provide the solution.
Our goal is to provide support for as many users as we possibly can.
Ideally, TV Tuner
settings should be persistent. When changed from the TV app that came with
your TV tuner, the settings should remain the same, but some TV app may
reset it back when exiting or the settings are just not persistent. This
causes problems when the default setting does not match your locale or
region. Starting with Beta version 1.1.220 or above,
and non-beta version 1.1.214c, you can now
specify properties for Country Code, Input Type (Cable or Antenna), and
Video Standard (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, etc.).
The method used
may be awkward for some users, but this will only be done once. It will also
avoid having to add complexity to most users who do not need to do this.
The steps are as follows:
0. Make sure MsDVR is not running
1. Edit an existing registry file
TVTunerSettings.reg using notepad.exe or your favorite text editor
2. Refer to a couple of Tables
below for the Country Code and Video Standard values
3. Save
4. Double click on the
TVTunerSettings.reg file from File Explorer
TVTunerSettings.reg is located in
c:\Program Files\MsDVR\ or .\Support\
The Details:
You will only edit 3 lines or
less, depending on what you want to set!
1. "CountryCode"="Default"
2. "VideoStandard"="Default"
3. "InputType"="Default"
Specific Example:
If you want to set Country
Code for Hong Kong, from Table 2, it should look like this:
"CountryCode"="852"
Table 2 also says Video
Standard for Hong Kong is PAL_I, from Table 1, it should look like this:
"VideoStandard"="256"
For Input Type, there are
only 2 values, "0" is for Cable and "1" is for Antenna.
Antenna should look like this:
"InputType"="1"
