Why bother as MCE will not be able to change channels? What's the point of a PVR permanently stuck
on one channel? TV is multichannel nowadays even when I was a kid we had two channels on analogue
TV.

You need to drop old technology sometime. There is no facility for connecting a gramophone to MCE
either

Forget that old VCR:-) A better case would be where you had a satellite receiver & a cable STB. The
inability to handle multiple TV programme sources & hence multiple EPGs is feature missing from MCE
that is present in competing PVRs.

*ONLY* because Microsoft says so... As long as ANY of my devices have the
required connectors, I SHOULD be able to connect it and get a usuable signal
from it.
How would you like it if you weren't able to plug your AM radio into any of
the outlets of your house, even though the radio supported 110vac and the
plug was correct? "Sorry sir. Your radio is AM. It won't work with our brand
of electricity." >> Stay informed about: Vista Media Center will not allow me to set up TV tuner |

In my case that would be true as I live in a 220V country:-)

Ya... I though of that. 
Wish I lived someplace nice and warm all year round.
How about this for an example...
You're watching TV and an old show filmed in black & white comes on. Your TV
suddenly displays a black screen with the message "This content was filmed
in black and white, therefore it has been blocked." >> Stay informed about: Vista Media Center will not allow me to set up TV tuner |

Not if you want to connect a device to the composite or s-video input of the analogue TV capture
card.

If you tell Vista that you will be receiving input from a STB you can select
Coax(RF), S-Video or Composite as the video source(depending on the card).
However you can not select an STB as the source unless you have an MCE IR
receiver and and IR blaster connected.

Thanks for the reply. However, I continue to say (as I said in the last
part of my post) that Media Center will not let you change inputs "on
the fly." To make the user return to the set-up commands just to
change inputs is worthless. In my opionion that is just "seeing" one
input. It would have been easy for Microsoft to include "Select Input"
in its basic menu when you boot Vista Media Center. As usual, even to
us confirmed Microsoft users, "would have been easy" has apparently
never been a part of the equation. Interesting that ATI has had that
capability back to the early days of the AIW cards. Pity ATI can't get
their software act together. I believe ATI's use of Guide+ provides
about the best program guide that is free to the user.
