I'm running Windows Media Center in Vista w/Athlon 64x2 dual core 4400+
processor and 2 GB memory and a Hauppauge WinTv HVR 1600 internal tuner card.
Using the ATSC tuner connected to a TV antenna, Media Center located four
local digital TV stations with very strong signals, but when I tune to these
stations all I get is the program audio and a green screen - no video. Any
suggestions as to what might be the problem?

Download the decoder checking tool to check if you have the required codec.

Vista MC has the Microsoft MPEG2 decoder built it you do not need one from a
third party.
Also the XP decoder check utility does not work in Vista for changing the
preferred decoder even though it appears to.
