Vista Media Center Tuner Not Available

I am having issues with McAfee Firewall (Security Center 9.3), Windows Vista/Media Center, and my ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner running on a DELL XPS 420 system. The problem is that after approximately 9 months of problem-free use, suddenly I began to get the message 'No Tuner Available' everytime I attempted to watch live TV via Windows Media Center. After chat sessions with Dell technicians, and searches of the ATI knowledge base, I still had no solution.

I then happened across the following post on the Dell Community Forums: The basic gist of that post is that there is a conflict between the McAfee firewall and Media Center. I found that I could solve the problem by disabling the McAfee firewall and rebooting. Re-enabling the firewall does not cause the problem to return, however processing updates from McAfee does. One of the posters on the Dell forum thread noted above, said that McAfee had provided some settings adjustments that seemed to solve the problem. Can anyone here provide the nature of the setting changes required to resolve this problem permanently?

Thanks Ex-Brit, for the input. What you say may well be true, but my (and others) symptoms sure seem to imply otherwise. This is not necessarily to say that there is anything wrong with McAfee, maybe just that I need to tweak a setting or two. One of the first things I tried was downloading and installing the latest version of the tuner's firmware. I assume this is what you mean by 'ATI Catalyst software'. It had no effect on the problem.

But on at least three occasions since then, I have been able to relieve the problem by doing nothing more than disabling the firewall and rebooting. Rebooting alone has never caused the problem to disappear. Mafia Game Script there. As for what causes the problem to reappear, I am only speculating about McAfee updates based on others stated suspicions, and my own anecdotal evidence. Adobe Digital Editions Crack Pdf Drm Removal. Obviously, since there has always been a substantial time lag between occurrences, there are other things that could be the trigger.
