• Why Windows seems to work very well, but Windows Media Center not?

  Hello

  Today, I was with my Home Theater PC (HTPC) to record TV. Everything worked well. I wanted to watch a YouTube video when I was recording was completed. When I went on YouTube, there was no audio data.

  I use a HDMI from the HTPC to connect to my Pioneer VSX-50. While watching the TV show, the VSX-50 would show he was getting audio to 5.1 channels as it should. When I go on YouTube, all the sound elements would not pass, no audio signal is sent to the VSX-50.

  So I had a slight problem when it seems that Windows and Windows Media Center try to run the sound completely different from each other. And I went to my "manage Audio Devices" set up so that Windows would go the 5.1 audio channels (I think that until then he was established as stereo?). Once I did, I was able to get a YouTube sound very well. Then I went back to Windows Media Center. Media Center at the start, that's fine, but when I try to watch live TV or any recording, sound glitches (she repeats a second 1 loop repeatedly while video continues to play as if it's good), then he falls all together. After the sound glitch, my VSX-50 shows no audio signal is sent to the receiver, and I can't he come back! It really frustrates me!

  Any ideas?

• 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.

  Thank you, and in what concerns:

  Errors download Media Center and guide the suggested corrections

  http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/Archive/2005/11/08/490466.aspx

  Sometimes, Windows Media Center would not be able to download Guide data. In general, this happens for the following reasons:

  (a) your computer is not connected to the Internet or there is a problem with your Internet settings.

  (b) If your computer connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection, make sure that the connection is properly configured. For more information about setting up a dial-up connection for use in Windows Media Center, see solving problems with an Internet connection.

  (c) the Guide Server is not available or is temporarily out of service. If the Guide Setup was already complete, Windows Media Center will try to download it again daily.

  (d) the Guide service provider didn't Guide your location information.

• Updated my CPU (Windows 7 64-bit) and DRM rights do not seem to work for Windows Media Center

  After the upgrade, only the specific movie channels in Media center play is more (Record) after approximately 6 seconds.

  (Do not forget that there is a function of pause/forward who s equivalent to check-in for DRM)

  Get a message from copying prohibited.

  Looks like the upgrade of the processor messed up somehow DRM rights for this machine, to the point where no films previously saved are playable AND NO NEW FILMS can be registered and enrolled in some way a Canadian Film Channel. (Bell Expressvu - channels 300 + Movie Network)

  As wired http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/webhelp/default.aspx?&id=C00D2798

  Delete the contents of the file DRM (archive first)

  c:/program data/microsoft/windows/drm.

  Restarted...

  Partial contents of the folder have been recreated...

  Problem remains.

  Can Watch all the channels, but those who are 'Movie channels' stop after about 6 to 10 seconds and display a Message of copying prohibited.
  The broadcaster has banned this content to be copied. You can only read this content on the same computer on which it was recorded.
  Note: I don't like on my OLD recorded movies... In fact already deleted... I just want to be able to watch the movie channels and save NEW ones...

  Well after 4 days of effort + a fix was finally discovered...

  (1) exit Windows Media Center is running.

  (2) open a cmd prompt - run as administrator.

  (3) run the following commands one at a time:

  Code:

  net stop ehrecvr CD %programdata%\Microsoft\PlayReady del *.hds rmdir /s Cache CD %programdata%\Microsoft\ehome del *.hds rmdir /s Cache net start ehrecvr

  (4) run Windows Media Center. Update of PlayReady through tasks, settings, TV, TV Signal, PlayReady update.

  It was the only solution to Playready update succeed to in Windows Media Center.
  Playback worked immediately without any loss overall upward or configuration information...

  Hello hillsiderWH,

  Seems that your windows installation is missing most important files, I suggest you boot to the top with your windows media center installation CD and run repair on the windows installation. This will replace any missing files and I hope that your media center up and running. If this isn't the case, it could be a problem in the registry.

  First of all, there is not - and has never been - anywhere to download a legal copy of any version of Windows XP...

  Second, Windows XP Media Center Edition was available as a pre-installed OEM operating system (for example, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  If you wanted a computer with MCE, you should have bought one with MCE.  In the unlikely case where your second-hand computer comes from an OEM and it came originally with MCE (look at the sticker on the box), it is possible, at a distance, the same manufacturer can provide the installation media necessary for a price.

  If the video card in the computer is able to drive the "big flat screen", then you have nothing else (assuming that the computer meets other material).  See http://www.ehow.com/info_8204776_needed-netflix-streaming-work.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_7561774_stream-netflix.html

• On windows media Center, there is no spot on the home screen menu to allow me to add extender? Can anyone offer advice?

  On windows media Center, there is no spot on the home screen menu to allow me to add extender? Can anyone offer advice?

  Hi Halam.

  Thanks a lot for your help on this. I don't know if this method would work as I finally found a solution after hours of playing with different settings and downloads. For others who are trying, I found that you need the rollup2 update (which I got) If you have this, go to this link www.xbox.co:80 / fr-U.S./PCSetup/MCE05Lite and follow the instructions. I don't know if it works for the extension, however it worked to use my xbox as an Extender.

  Now, I have these two pairs, unfortunately I have a new problem. As the menu tasks is not yet here, that I can't go on an Internet browser. Basically I try to videos from websites to my tv via my xbox and I have found a method to be very simple to do, if the menu tasks was on my version of windows media Center. If anyone can offer advice on this, I would be very grateful.
