Cannot get Windows Media Center to recognize remote STB

I have a desktop Gateway computer with an AMD Phenom 8400 Triple Core processor.  He is 1 year old and runs Windows Vista.  The Windows Media Center seems to work perfectly.   Recently, I decided to add the TV option to the computer since the last of my children has left and I got a set-top box (STB) available.  I have Verizon FiOS service and I made connections that were provided in the installation of the gateway documentation.  I know it is getting signal through because when I try the manual set up the process, I get a small square window of 2 inches with channel 3 in it.  I can change this channel with my set-top box remote to all channels that are available from my service.  When I continue on in the whole of the process I get to a point where it asks me to point my remote decoder and press on and press and hold the '0' button so Media Center can learn the codes (and, I presume, activate the remote control centre for use).  It is never past "0".  I have new batteries in the tuner and I tested it on another box, so I know it works.

I tried put automation in place two option first and that didn't work either--that's why I went to the manual set up.

As I said above, the Media Center works great with all other options and the MSNBC documentary line CD/DVD playback, etc..  It's just the TV live set up for the Media Center tuner that gives me a royal pain.

I hope someone can help me to finish the game.  Thank you, John.

Looks like you are trying to change your set-top box with a remote control channels of Media Center.  To use Media Center with a set-top-box, you would need a remote control Media Center and one cable IR and remote sensor.

Please see the following diagram: Media Center and your set-top box

During the implementation of process Media Center application that aim you the decoder at the remote sensor and press the 0 key.  The remote sensor at the moment will record the signal from the remote control so that it can be reproduced for the decoder when the Media Center remote control.

-Thank you

  • Cannot get Windows Media Center to learn the remote control codes decoder

    I'm trying to put in place my TV card in Windows Media Center in Windows 7.  The card is a Hauppauge HVR 2250, which has a blaster/IR receiver.

    The configuration of the set-top box tells me to point the remote at the receiver and "hold" the number 0.  The problem is that the remote control supplied with the set-top box (Motorola RG2400) is not constantly emits the same IR signal when I press and hold the button - signal IR lasts only about a year and a half seconds before turning off. This does not seem to be sufficiently long for Windows Media Center and never detects the signal.

    Can I make it work?

    Hello

    Looks like the remote is faulty I recommend you do replace from the cable/satellite for a replacement/repair provider.

    I hope this helps.

    Media Center

    While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

  • Where can I get Windows media center xp

    Is there a way I can download Windows Media Center for XP, I can't find it on the Microsoft site.

    Windows Media Center is a feature within Windows and you can not download it separately. If your edition of Windows comes with media center, then you might find it in the menu start otherwise, you must run edition as Windows Media Center, included in this document, which is Windows XP Media Edition.

    However, you might consider getting a Windows 7 that is running Windows Media Center or other third-party tools.

    Microsoft does not Media Center Windows 10 to be released
    later this year, so everything you buy with Windows Pro 8.1 with Media Center, or
    Windows 8.1Pro more than one $10.00 go to Media Center or Windows 8.1 for $ 100
    upgrade to Pro + Media Center is a machine, to that you will not be able to upgrade
    Windows 10 If you want that Media Center.
     
    There has not been a team of dev to Media Center for some time. Ms. believes that it is
    dead.
     
    My advice to you is to seek alternatives such as XBMC, etc to replace your
    Media Center needs.

  • Windows Media Center crashes under Remote Desktop connection after the installation of KB2592687

    When you view another computer (Win7 Pro for Win7 Pro) via the remote desktop connection, this (KB2592687) update causes Windows Media Center not start or leave immediately, in both cases briefly showing a popup that reads:

    Windows Media Center has stopped working

    Both computers have installed KB259687.  WMC works by connecting directly to each machine.  If KB259687 is uninstalled on the machine connected remotely via the remote desktop connection, you can run once again, WMC in the distance window.  Note the video is not available, but you are able to verify existing records, change the calendar, see the rack TV, etc. (everything as before).  Records on demand on the PC are working correctly, I had a crash the system (blue screen) apparently because of this.

    Note that there is no problem watching a WMC when using desktop remote connection to a Pro Win8 machine when connected to a machine, Win7 Pro.  WMC is installed on the machine Win8 Pro and is adjustable from inside the Desktop Login window on the Win7 Pro machine remotely.

    I had the same problem, but uninstalling the update didn't fix it for me.   I have studied and found that permissions for key reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server\WinStations\Rdp-Tcp included not all permissions for the users group, just like the other subkeys.  Maybe the update of above RDP modified these permissions?  In any case, when I added for this key for users read permissions, shell new WMC would begin in an RDP session.  I also found this race the ehshell 'as administrator' would work under RDP, but this was not necessary in the past.

  • Having trouble getting Windows media player to recognize and extract some burned CD when I insert the CD, nothing comes up on the tab extract. I have licenses for all the protected songs and the same CD was ripped in the past by using media player.

    My computer has a virus and before I wiped it's own, I copied all my files to blank CD I was able to extract these CDs on my computer but they are in the WMA format and I want them in MP3 format. I changed the rip settings but when I put in the CD Ripper re - it, nothing comes tab extract. I tried to delete all the files in windows media player and my computer but media player doesn't always recognize the CD tab extract. I have restored my music files from the bin to WMA, but I really need to extract the songs in MP3 format. What can I do to get Windows to recognize and tear my CD? Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you!

    Make sure that there is no CD in the CD drive. Then, go to Options - confidentiality of WMP and click the button Clear the Caches . Restart WMP, and insert a CD you want to re - rip. Are you able to rip the CD now?

    If it still does not work, you can try to rip the CD from another user account (if necessary, create a new user account in the control panel). Afterwards, you can move the files ripped to MP3 to your own original account. Tim Baets
