Power Cinema Conflict?

[monty85]

I have a TV tuner card that came with CyberLink products, of which I have several installed. When installing EMC 9, I got a message telling me that I needed to uninstall CyberLink PowerCinema before I could continue my EMC 9 install. The PowerCinema software is not that friendly, but I used it for watching, and, most importantly recording, TV shows. It has a nice scheduler for recording shows on a weekly or whatever basis. In any case, I uninstalled the PowerCinema and installed EMC 9. I was then disappointed that EMC 9 does not have seem to have a recording scheduler and, in fact, is not friendly at all for watching TV (no full screen option, etc.).

 

Can anybody tell me if there is really any reason that I can't reinstall PowerCinema? Obviously, I could just try the install and see how things work, but I don't want to cause myself giant headaches down the road by doing so. So I would greatly appreciate any advice that anybody can give.

 

Cheers.

Thanks for the feedback, John; I appreciate it. I'm new to Roxio products. Can you tell me if there is some part of EMC 9 that I'm just not spotting that can be used for TV watching/recording scheduling, etc.? Thanks again.

If EMC 9 wanted you to remove it, it means we know for sure that we conflict with that sofware in some way. I cant tell for sure what the conflicts are, but I would recommend a full system backup if you are considering jumping into a setup where there are known conflicts.
