I have used ChrisTV pro (registered) in the past with a medion tuner, under XP, and it worked correctly.
Under Win7 x64, and a new computer with the same card, ChrisTV displayed systematically a grey window instead of the TV image. Since that TV card is now very old and the drivers are difficult to find and install under Win7, I have bought a new TV card: Asus My Cinema PS3-100/PTS/FM/AV/RC. It works well with all softwares I've checked so far, except with ChrisTV.
The problem is strange: the card is recognized, and the channels scan works well. But as soon as ChrisTV displays a channel, the output window is black for a short time (less than 1 second), and then it turns grey (an uniform medium grey), for all channels. The recordings are grey too. Strangely, it seems that the grey is a layer displayed on top of the video, as sometimes, a black border is visible in the bottom of the image.
I have tried all rendering modes, without success.
Furthermore, after the problem, all other TV programs I have on my computer (Windows Media Center, ArcSoft Total Media and K!TV) have exactly the same problem: the sound is OK, but the image is grey. Rebooting is not sufficient to fix the problem, and I have to use System Restore to get those programs working correctly again. So, KrisTV changes something globally, in the system or in the TV card, that affects all programs. Of course, I can't use ChrisTV any more.
I have searched the forum and doc for a similar problem, but I've found nothing. Is it a known problem or bug? Is it a workaround?
Thanks!
