Technical assistance please

I have been unsuccessful so far in getting my PC to interface with my TV so I can watch the Griz game on the big screen. To this point I have connected the PC to the TV via a HDMI interface. I can get the America One screen to load to the TV but cannot open the specific window which allows the live image to show on the TV. Advice? Suggestions?

Bear, when you open BSTV, do you see the games listed along the right side of the screen, and are you clicking on the box containing that game and choosing "Play"? If so, you should see that game open in your window.

Have tried that but it just flashes in the drag box and no picture appears.

I take it if it's hooked up to a standard monitor/LCD display you can watch the game fine? Is it just with your TV hooked up that you can't watch it?

 

[dancingbear]

Yes, that is correct.

OK. How do you plug in to the monitor? Is it through a VGA or DVI cable? Or do you also use the HDMI on your monitor? If you are using VGA or DVI, the issue may be with the HDMI. I say that because if the BSTV stream is copy protected, it may not see your graphics card as HDCP compatible and thus it would block that stream from running over the HDMI. That's a stretch but is a possibility. One thing I would try, though, is to turn off your PC, plug in ONLY the HDMI cable to your Big Screen, no other display hooked up at all, THEN turn it on and try out BSTV. I have seen it work that way before. Basically your PC needs to see the HDMI Display as the only display from the get go. As another possibility, if you don't have the latest driver for graphics card, try and download and install the latest driver and that may make a difference. Make sure to reboot after the install, even if it doesn't say you have to.

I will try that and thanks for your assistance. I will let you know if that works.
