Can't i get Media Center to use composite input on my TV tuner

[Q Jones]

Guys i am having Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 working with Vista Media Center. I want to know if i can get Media Center to use composite input on my TV tuner??? I have gone through TV setup but i am not able to check out composite input for a set top box there. It won't allow me to select and display as it cannot detect the infrared device used or controlling the set top box.

While checking out for your issue i came across below article:

Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 cannot detect the set-top box during Automatic TV Signal Setup

It addresses the same issue you are going through, so you can try out the resolution mentioned there for fixing the issue in your case. In case you don't get any help from that then you can post back for further help.

I have gone through the article that you have hyper linked above. It addressed the issue i am going through but when i reach the step 8 in part 2. I get an error message saying "No IR hardware detected" and i am not allowed to proceed further. Some people have suggested me to use third party party software but i don't know which one will be compatible and best in my case.

I will suggest you to use Hauppauge WinTV application rather than using any other third party software.
