Hi
I am trying to watch tv on my father's pc, which has media center, windows
XP installed. When trying to view Live TV, I get the following message:

Decoder Error
The video decoder has either malfucntioned or is not installed. Please
restart Media Center and / or the computer.

Windows XP with Media Center was already installed when he bought the
computer, and we have no idea how to fix this even after searching for
downloads. I'd like to know how to fix this so he can watch tv once more.

Many thanks

Download and run the following utility and insure that you have a MC
compatible decoder installed and selected as your primary decoder.
