• When I take the Media Center it takes 4 minutes to load

  Recently, I cloned and replaced the HARD drive with a much larger (thanks to the Olympic Games in HD).  Everything works fine, except for the fact that when I wake up in the MCE to watch a program that the screen is black (I can see the mouse and move it) and it takes several minutes before I see the recorded shows section.  The Web browsing is slow for a nother minutes.

  I tried to optimize the media center with nothing doesn't.

  Last option is to reinstall windows, but then I lose all my programs.  Is there a way to save the old programs so she would see a new installation of windows?

  Let me add that I tried to stop MCE and then go back, not help.

• Download pirated Windows XP Media Center with the genuine key?

  Hi all

  First of all, I apologize if the thread, I created is in the wrong place (Technet forums), but I got enough good help from technet on a Windows 7 problem, that I had. I've recently updated to the Genuine Windows XP Media Center to a genuine Windows 7 Professional.

  I own a HP pavilion laptop came pre-loaded with XP MC (media center). Now, HP does not record with the laptop, instead, there is a recovery partition which can be transferred to DVD to create additional space on the HARD drive, I did. Unfortunately my DVD player no longer works, and I can not restore my XP to factory settings (new facility) because the HP restore software only reads from the DVD.

  This XP has become bloated over time, and I want to do a new installation.

  It is, I could download a pirated copy of the media center XP SP3 and use my real serial number and / or additional information to activate it?

  Thank you

  No, because your key is specific to an HP facility.
  Replace your DVD player or buy an external hard drive

  after update to XP media center units Vista remote control

  Just upgraded to Vista Home Premium to XP.  Got a Packard Bell with RF for the Media Center remote control, worked fine with XP, but is no longer compatible with Vista.  I checked the usb driver for the usb XF-10 rf remote receiver and it is fine, uninstalled and reinstalled it.  Handset was working fine a few days ago.  I also went in 'Administrator', 'services' and then active HID, but it still does not work.  Media works well, but it would be nice to have the operation of the remote control!  Not particularly computer, simply suggestions please!  Thank you, Nick.

• Installation window Media Center with Avermedia A850 DMB-TH/DVB-T

  Hi all

  I am located in Australia and I have a USB TV tuner which can be used for DVB - T or DMB - TH digital system. I tested it on the player of AverMedia TV tuner, which worked well and I can't all channels using an antenna from the wall outlet. However, it doesn't seem to work when I went to the Media Center window with the same exact configuration (taking wall antenna).

  I tried to use it on Windows Vista and 7, which gave me very different results.

  --------------------------

  Vista: When I click on "Setup TV signal" it recognizes the signal as "Antenna", but he was not able to scan any guide or service.

  --------------------------

  7: Interestingly, it recognizes the USB TV Tuner, but to halfway through the installer it says 'You are about to leave the media center window to start the installation process for Tuner AVerMedia digital (DMB - TH)' and the rest of the facility would be in Chinese, where he asks me which City Chinese I am etc. and cause recognized as a bad country and DMB - TH no channels are available.

  --------------------------

  Could I please get a setting for help to the top of the window Media Center?

  Initially, I thought it was a problem with the driver, but it seems not to be because she works for the Avermedia program.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  Thank you for you answer.

  I have already contacted Avermedia and they got back to me with a solution. However, they notified the problem with the interface in Chinese was the software design of the library window.

  Also, I think that DMB - TH is just how Windows Media Center recognized as, because it is a hybrid TV tuner so when I click on the driver he recognizes as DMB-TH/DVB-T so its fine.

  In any case, he now works correctly. It's a hybrid tuner, they asked me to install a program that allows me to switch between DVB - T and DMB - TH. So far it works well :)

  Thanks for your help.

• Using an ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCIe and the Media Center can't find the analog signals of the conductor not to use a decoder

  I just installed a diamond ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCIe on my 64 bit Windows 7 system (it's actually the second tuner card I tried) and still get the same problem. Media Center recognizes the card and both tuners analog and digital, but fails the analogue listening. I get digital very well. I tried to add a channel manually and still no luck. I use cable TV with no cable box and tested the signal on my TV and receive all channels.

  I also downloaded the latest Diamond driver and installed all updates more recent windows.

  In Media Center, I tried to automaticlly and manually select my signal and each combination, but available with no luck.

  Can you please help

  Rob

  
  Because, for an analog tuner, Media Center requires that said tuner is an MPEG2 Encoder (or that the manufacturer creates a software encoder which emulates this.)  The Theater HD 750 chip is not this, and it seems (after some looking) that ATI has not created a software encoder (side note: they are unlikely to do so, because they left the tuner market.)

  Out of curiosity, what was the 'other tuner"which has been tried before?

  Honestly, my recommendation would be to return the tuner (if possible) and get a combo tuner or hybrid that is known to work properly.  My first recommendation would be for a Hauppauge HVR-2250 (Council dual combo/hybrid), because it works wonderfully in MC as a tuner NTSC/Clear-QAM of combo/hybrid.  MC knows how to treat as what it is, and it works very, very well (I have not one.)

  That, or an AverTV Combo G2 (which is not as flexible as the ' 2250, where its slightly lower price.)

  HTH,

• Static IP remote access for the media center

  I NMH410 work through a WRT610N router.   My ports are configured for static IP access.  Seems to just going through www.ciscomediahub.com does not work well for me.

  Can someone provide the 'exact' URL I would enter in order to access my media center?

  Documentation of assistance through Cisco shows: https://Wan_IP_Address but that doesn't seem to work.  The demand is just there and finally once outside.

  To everyone:

  Apparently, I discovered and corrected the problem that I had with 'Remote access' to my Media Hub.

  Somehow, there are two configurations of router that had to be done.  On two port forwarding configurations has been necessary and once allowed me to access the media center.

  It seems that my ISP has a 192.168.x.x address router that was different from the address of my router 192.168.x.x.  It is on the home router when I incoming and make changes to the information of port forwarding.  The fact that I was getting an error message indicating that I wasn't even reached my router alerted me to the fact that my ISP was blocking remote access.  In the end, that's where my problem was discovered.

  Translate:

  If you have problems to access your media "at a distance" pole through its IP address (and not by the cisco media center), make sure that you configure the ports of the router specified by your Internet provider address, as well as the ports of the router that you have on your network home.

  I have forwarded port 443 on the two addresses of router port, and I can now access my media hub remotely.  Now if I can't play videos remotely, I'll be set.  This leads to another problem that I'll send it in another thread.

  Thanks for the help and suggestions of each.

• Qosmio G20-111: after disk HARD changing the Media center does not work

  Hi, I have a WME Quosmio G20-111, after a hard drive, toshiba support center evolution (disc hard bone) in Italy has reinstalled the WME but whenever I try to use the Media Center pc crash and show me a white screen. After several phone call they told me that the problem is that they don't update quosmio drive drivers?
  I'm desperate, any suggestions?

  [email protected]

  Hello

  Well, as far as I know that the Qosmio Player has been installed on the partition hidden on the new laptop, but perhaps the ASP is not install this application after replacing HARD drive.

  But I do not understand why the missing Qosmio Player should have a bad influence on the media library? MC is a Microsoft program that is part of the Windows XP MCE. Player of Qosmio is an invention of Toshiba and should have nothing to do with the MCE.

  However, you can try to install the Qosmio Player and then try to recover the entire operating system with the recovery CD Toshiba original delivered.

  Maybe it helps.

  You can also try a manual download by pressing 'Download now' tab under tasks > settings > General > automatic download in WMC options.

  Make sure that during this firewall or IPSec is does not interfere with the download.

  If the above does not help then run Setup again.

• Digital Cable Set Top Box connected to the Media Center computer, forced to keep MC on the use of channels 3-cant TV Guide in Media Center to record

  I have to keep the center of the media on channel 3, and the decoder controls the channel I want to watch or record.  For example if I want to record channel 631 21:00 to 23:00 I would say the MC to record channel 3 for as many programs they broadcast between 9 and 23:00.  This process does not allow registration of the MC - guide as it was planned. I have to use the channels on the cable box only and always have the Media Center on channel 3. Is it possible to come back with the MC TV Guide and record by this guide as it was designed to do, while still using the cable set top box or some other Descrambler for replacement by the cable operator?  Basically, the decoder is a decoder which makes us put all our TV on channel 3.  But the cable ready TV I hear do not need the box, they can use another device.  The computer can do the same?  Nobody seems to have no answer to this problem.  Help!?

  I read your question. I asked you what happened when running
  TV Setup and specifically want to know if the TV Setup detected your set top
  Box/decoder and it happened. If Media Center does not automatically detect your decoder,
  have you tried the manual method to learn codes? I'm trying to help you

• White screen when I open the Media Center.

  Original title: Media Center white

  When I opened the Media Center, there is a white screen. I wouldn't change a thing and it has worked before. I have Vista 64 Home Premium.

  Hello

  I suggest you try these methods and check the status of the issue.

  Method 1:

  Keep the computer in a clean boot and check the status of the issue. If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem. Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service. After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software
