Media Center Decoder Error...

[MatrixEVO]

I do not know. All I know is what currently works for me. If you call Dell support they might have more information to help you (when I spoke with them I was the FIRST support call they had ever had with MCE 2005 )

..anyway, I am not sure what the next course of action should be. If you have the MyDVD codec and the TV Tuner drivers loaded correctly, I do not know what could be the problem. I did notice that your decoder version is 5.0... and mine seems to be more recent.

Maybe calling the "HORRIBLE" Dell support might be the next best step.. or search around the net for someone else who is or was having a similar problem. (Sorry I could not be of more help, but for now, I am out of ideas.)

Thanks so much for your help SFR. I got a copy of MyDVD 8 Premier and now it works! I tried calling Dell before I made this thread too and they said I would have to pay about $100 to talk to an expert. All I needed was a good decoder and now I have it. Thanks again SFR.

Sweet... Glad everything works (I really like MCE especially all of the TV functions..) ..and holy crap $100 to talk to an expert? ..wow, their home service is worse than I thought!
