So instead I took my ATI TV Wonder USB stick, and reconfigured WMC with the OTA signal coming in the stick instead of the Hauppauge TV card. I tried again to remove/reinstall WMC this morning, but this time it didn't get any better. For some reason, the problem went away for about 2 weeks this time.but it came back last night. The antenna is not the problem because that problematic channel is okay on all the TVs (and the signal of each tv is strong enough), the problem is just with the Hauppauge card.Īnd I'm also pretty sure it's not the splitting from the card that is an issue, because all other channels have strong reception, only the local CBS is problematic.Īnyways, since my firs post I removed Windows Media Center and reinstalled it again. I'm pretty sure it's not overpowering, since I get all the channels that are less than 15 miles from home, but the one channel that give me the most problem is 60 miles away. So my question is : is it possible for a tuner to go bad, not across all channels but for one (or a few) channel only ? If not, any advice on what could be causing this issue ? I deleted then reinstalled WMC and for a day the reception for that 1 channel got better with the 2250, but it has since returned to being bad.

I used my ATI TV Wonder instead of the 2250 to record a few shows, with the same PC and also with Windows Media Center, and the reception was great (no dropouts). Moreover, that same channel is playing perfectly on all TVs in the house, using the same OTA antenna (in fact, the PC is the unit closer to the antenna, it should have the best reception).
I still receive something for that 1 channel, but I get a lot of dropouts. A few weeks ago I moved my PC to another room, and since I returned the PC to its original place the tuner is not working good, but only for 1 station. I have an Hauppauge 2250 OTA tuner card, which I use along with Windows Media Center to record tv shows.
