<DA_Serial> can someone answer me a question or point me in the right direction on media center and media center extenders
<@thean> ok
<DA_Serial> i have a client with a mc and mce and she wants to use the mce to view a digital cable box thats hooked up to the mc
<AJ-> oh jesus
<DA_Serial> so my questions would be can she change the channel
<AJ-> Why do I feel like sticking my penis in DA_Serial's ass?
<DA_Serial> thanks a lot just looking for help man
<AJ-> oh noes.
<@thean> DA: what rev is your bios?
<DA_Serial> on the computer im not sure its media center 2005 though
<@rekkals> well without bios info it's kind of a shot in the dark
<DA_Serial> i was just wondering how will the media center change the channel on the digital cable box throught the media center extender
<@rekkals> indeed, though bios rev is crucial
<@rekkals> I'd recommend a bios upgrade first and foremost
<@rekkals> thean: your opinion?
<@thean> there are issues with changing the channels on order media pcs
<@thean> so yes, I would upgrade first
<@thean> and then try
<DA_Serial> ok but what im wondering is if i hook up the cable box through the input and use the controller on the media center extender how will the cable box know to change channel
<@thean> it just does
<@thean> with the latest bios
<@rekkals> but possibly won't without latest bios rev
<@rekkals> right
<DA_Serial> ok
<DA_Serial> i hate to sound stupid but if its hooked up throught the video input on the computer what signal is going to the cable box to change the channel
<@thean> one of the pins in the video cable is for that
<DA_Serial> no its hooked up rca
<DA_Serial> video input to the computer
<@thean> use s-video
<DA_Serial> ok
<@thean> AND latest bios
<DA_Serial> ok
<@thean> fixed.
