So, does DirecTV definitely carry it if the locals over the air do? My
parents have that in the livingroom and bedroom, and finding out this way
would be the easiest way to know if the locals here have it since they
probably don't know themself that CBS even does it.

direct tv has a button on the remote to turn on audio description but am
unsure where it is at on remote.

I know that CSI and NCIS are described. Maybe Criminal Minds is too, but
I'm not sure if one can turn the description thing on. I know my mom
still has an OTA TV hooked up in the kitchen, but I don't know if it has
the right capability.

Windows Media Center records in .wtv format, which is described as
Windows Recorded TV. If all you want to do with the files is to watch
them in Media Center, there shouldn't be any problem. I don't know if
other players support this format.
As soon as I find some TV with audio description, I'll try to record it.
At the moment, I can only get ABC and CBS networks on my tuner, along
with some independent channels. If anyone knows of programs on ABC or
CBS that are described, let me know.

Hi,
If I remember correctly mediacenter records in a format complicated to
be converted into somethink more usefull like mpg or ts, and I don't
know if with mediacenter you can record all the streams included in the
channel like a secondary audio stream.
Best regard,

It's true that there is other software that can operate a tuner card
and schedule recordings, but accessibility is not guaranteed. The
advantages of Media Center are that in the program itself, the
controls are standard, eliminating the need for any scripts, and you
can read the descriptions of each program in the Program Guide. Also,
Media Center comes with Windows, giving us a standard user interface
to work with. Media Center in Vista and Windows 7 must be fairly
similar since my remote control that was designed for Vista also works
well with Media Center in Windows 7.

I'll let Jianluca answer for himself, but as he says in his email he
uses the software that comes with his USB TV tuner card from
Hauppauge.
He says this software is accessible.
I did something a few years ago, using the software that came with a
TV
tuner card I got cheap. I think the software was PVR by KWorld. I
don't
recall the manufacturer of the TV tuner card, but like I said, this
was
a few years ago, so I'm sure neither the TV tuner card or the
software
is still around. I just use this as an example that there may be
other
software out there besides Windows Media Center that let's you
control
and record from your TV tuner card.

Hi Folks, I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to get more than 2
out
of 7, email addresses of the people who said they wanted to be in
on
a conversation regarding television on their computer.
Brett Boyer's and Gary Kings email addresses worked, but the
following did not:
Steven Hics, David Tanner, Brent Harding, Hamit Campos and Gary
Wood.
I'd be glad to pass on the information I have to who ever would be
willing to take this conversation project on. I think we could
all
bennefit from each others knowledge and experiences.
Sincerely, Vicky Vaughan
