Cannot get live TV on Media Center Center (errors - TV Tuner not installed - ehrecvr.exe)

Three weeks ago, I got a Dell PC with Windows Vista and a card Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1250 TV that was installed at the factory.

Since the first day of use, I have two questions that have taken place that I think are related:

-To try to watch TV live on the Media Center, I get the following error: "Tuner not installed.  Video cannot be displayed because no tuner found»

-I get the following popup every 45 seconds or so that said error message "Receiver Service Windows Media Center has stopped working".  The details of this error message below:

Signature of the problem:

Problem event name: BEX

Application name: ehRecvr.exe

Application version: 6.0.6001.18000

Application timestamp: 47919381

Exception data: 00000008

The system version: 6.0.6001.2.1.0.768.3

I spent about 2 hours with assistance from Hauppauge reinstall all the Hauppauge software, drivers, etc..  I receive the Hauppauge WinTV live TV but still not be able to get live TV on Media Center (the same error as above - "Tuner not installed.').  The aid office in Hauppauge said that they handled several requests like mine, but not can not solve the solution must be found in Vista.

I receive TV on the Hauppauge WinTV software, but I prefer using Media Center.

You have a solution to get Media Center to play live TV?

    Hello

    You won't get HDTV without a Digital Cable Ready tuner and a cable card. How about you
    will have need a HDCP compatible graphics card and a TV/monitor taking support this
    as well.
    The kit Hauppage offers is substantially the same as I told you.

    clear QAM availability varies according to the cable company. most begin to encrypt
    everything.

    > The same can be done through Windows Media Center, by clicking the video image by clicking on Zoom. But in MCE when you have a cable box, you will also need an approved Microsoft IR blaster to control the cable box. If you n? not have this part, you will get the IR hardware not found error. The HVR - 950 Q does not come with this, but if you really want to use Media Center, you can buy a kit from our online store here http://store.hauppauge.com/hardware2.asp?product=mce_remote remote"

  • After turning on my computer I can't start live TV in media center.

    After turning on my computer I can't start live TV in media center.
    It's just there for a few seconds then it gives me a disk error and tells me to restart either the media center or Windows. No help! The only way to get the work TV power is on the backup and Restore Center, and use system restore to return to a previous restore point. The restore point doesn't have to be anything in particular. It may be a system on-demand restore point, before or after turning on the computer. It just makes no sense what so ever.
    My system is a Dell XPS 410 with Vista servie pack 2. I had this problem, since the computer is new, nearly two years ago. Dell support is running out of ideas.

    What are the details of the error which mentions the disc error?

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found.

    The manufacturer of the hard drive will have free diagnostic software carefully to check the status of your hard drive.

    The importance only I can get to the system restore solution is the fact that a reboot is involved, if you need to restart just the error disappears too?

  • Error 'Tuner not installed' in Media Center

    I have Windows XP Media Center version and had no problem to watch and record TV live until a few weeks ago. All of a sudden, I get an error "tuner not installed." I did a system restore to a date where the tuner works and it has failed. Any ideas for me on how to get my tuner to work again? I saw a bunch of other questions like this on the web... but the technical details of it go above my head. Not sure if someone got a good solution. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

    Update your tv tuner card driver. Make sure that the video decoder works.

    I have also a windows server backup from my computer. I restored my computer to a point where the computer work and it didn't work. I looked everywhere on the internet and you can find a lot of people with the same problems, but not answers

    my card is displayed as working on Device Manager too so it must be a software problem.
    im running windows vista 32 bit
    I have tried reinstalling drivers did not work, tried to remove the map and back does not work

    I have HP slimline is now Windows 7 and Vista. When I upgraded to Windows 7, I did not go off Homegroup. My Vixs tuner worked fine for 2 years. Recently, may 2011, I decided to start the homegroup; What a mistake!

    My Media Center said that I had no TV tuner.
    After much research, I found this solution.
    In windows 7 go to "Administrative Tools" and launch 'Services '.
    Scroll down to "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" and under "connect as" column, make sure that setting is 'Local System' and not 'Network Service '. The "Startup Type" value in the manual. not automatic.
    This fixed my issue.

    C:\ [VirtualCenter_installation_directory]\resources\windows\sysprep\1.1 so copied the files extracted to the location C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\VirtualCenter Server\resources\windows

    3 then I copied and extracted the file \support\tools\deploy.cab on the windows 2003 CD and copied the sysprep files extracted to the following location on the VC Server
