can't view recorded tv page (1 Viewer)

Any time I'm on the main MyTV page and click "recorded TV," the screen goes solid blue (with the TV shrunk in the lower left). None of the shows are visible, although if I randomly click where I think they are, I'll occassionally get lucky and one will start. It only happens with the Recorded TV page, nothing else. The only solution I've found is to shut the program down and restart. The only way I can watch recorded shows is to open MS MediaPlayer separately and play it in there. Weird.

Any ideas?

I've got an AverMedia M150 tuner card and a Radeon video card.

    Hi,

    sounds really weired... :)

    Please fill out the support template. So we can at least know what MP version and what skin you use.

    You should also see a menu on the left of this screen, is this menu diplayed at least?
    Did you try different skins?
    Have you turned on animations? (Setup->General)
    Do these show show up in My Movies->Title View (a database view, if you have set MP to add the recorded shows to My Movies)

    Flip.

    FLIP - To answer your questions. YES - I've tried the different skins. YES - Animations are on. NO - They don't show up in "My Movies/Videos" although if I go directly to the folder I specify for recordings, they are there and I can play them in Windows Media Player.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    - Try turning animations off.
    - Try a CVS: http://www.myshare.de
    - And you should consider to spent your HTPC a new graphics card

    Code:
    Video Render Type: Overlay
    Video Codec Type & Version: video mixing renderer 9 - windowless

    This is a littlebit missleading. VMR9 is like Overlay a Render Type. Video Codec is something like MPEG2Dec or InterVideo. You should set VMR9.
