Hi,

I have a Hauppage WinTV Nicam/FM in a Dell P530 2x2.0Xeon machine.
WinXP SP1, latest Hauppage Drivers.

I use with Windows Media Encoder to broadcast a constant stream from my CCTV cameras to the internet. The CCTV input is from the RF antenna, channel 35.

Most of the time this works fine, Media Encoder 9 won't play nicely, but 7.1 seems OK mainly.

However, after a reboot, the channel and source always default back to channel 4, cable. County code stays OK at 44 (UK). The tuner app seems to be the standard Windows one (it looked the same on my old ATI AIW Pro) - is it part of WDM ?

To change it I have to start another app such as Movie Maker, and re-tune it there, then close Movie Maker, and start Media Encoder. Media Encoder 7.1 doesn't seem to have the ability to tune (ME 9 does, but crashes).

I have exhaustively searched the registry for these settings, and all of the search engines for help.

I was wondering if anyone here knows how the change these settings to always default to the source/channel of your choice..

Would appreciate any help, many thanks,

Colin
