[shanimoshe]

I installed V3.60 and V3.65 on top of it, however I get only black & white pictures. No audio, no colors. I have MSI TV@Anywhere Masters. I am based in Israel (PAL-. What should I do?

[NOPIK]

As mentioned above - change MSI_Driver_Country=972

[Chris]

In order to help you more, we made a list with the country code that you have to set, if you have problems with the found channels (like only white&blank image or no sound) :

MSI_Driver_Country=1 //if you need NTSC_M video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=81 //if you need NTSC_M_J video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=49 //if you need PAL_B or PAL_G video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=40 //if you need PAL_D or PAL_K video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=500 //if you need PAL_I video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=54 //if you need PAL_N_COMBO video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=55 //if you need PAL_M video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=212 //if you need SECAM_B video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=220 //if you need SECAM_K video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=242 //if you need SECAM_D video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=33 //if you need SECAM_L video standard
MSI_Driver_Country=377 //if you need SECAM_G video standard

That's all folks

P.S. : You must restart ChrisTV after you have edited ChrisTV.ini file.

I tried using MSI_Driver_Country=49 as well as MSI_Driver_Country=972, and now the tuner can't lock on any channel. I even don't get the B&W pictures I had before applying this line in the ChrisTV.ini file. Please help.

[Chris]

Delete that line from the ChrisTV.ini file.
Make the autoscan again.
And try to use different Video Standard or to fine tune the TV Channels.

[histamine]

thanx,everything's ok.The only thing was that stupid command:MSI_Driver_Country=40 //if you need PAL_D or PAL_K video standard
Now I've got nice AUDIO & video,and finally I can watch tv.
HAPPY EASTER from Poland

Please post what MSI TV Card model and what MSI WDM Driver you have.

[histamine]

I've got msi TV@nywhere Master 8606 ver.:1.2 with msi tv driver v.2.79.1.65(WDM driver is included)

[shanimoshe]

I deleted that line from the ChrisTV.ini file.
I made the autoscan again. Pictures received in B&W with no audio as before.
I tried to use different video standards and to fine tune the TV Channels, nothing helped!!! I am becoming desparate after spending hours on this without success.
My card is TV@Anywhere Master.
I use MSI 8606 Tuner driver version 2.79.1.65
WDM driver Creative SB Live! value version 5.1.2603.0
Please help.

[Chris]

Go to Control Panel->Regional Settings and select your Country.

Also you could try again to set different MSI_DRIVER_Country from the list we have made.

[shanimoshe]

My country is already set in the regional setting.
I tried all countries numbers provided in your list, nothing helps, the pictures still remain black & white without audio. Changing TV system and fine tuning does not solve it either.

[Chris]

Try to launch MSI app, close it and then launch ChrisTV.

About the sound problems you can check ChrisTV FAQ point 10 :
http://www.chris-tv.com/faq.html

[shanimoshe]

Still no results, I launched MSI app first, and still get the same thing.
The MSI app gives the same B&W pic, without audio.
I followed the instruction in FAQ point 10, no audio.
It looks like the tuner is "stuck" in NTSC despite the fact I set it to PAL, and therefore there is no color and no audio. I understand the chipset should support both PAL & NTSC. Any other ideas?

[Chris]

So the MSI app doesn't work either ???
If so the driver is not good or there might be a problem with your TV Card.
