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
features of Media Center EPG.
 
You must ask the FIOS people if they have the equivalent of a DTA
offered in the world of cable and OTA.

  • Toshiba WL863 takes too long to start and its Set Top box problem

    Hello

    Aside from no YouTube on the TV - is not a real question

    I have 2 problems with WL863 TV:

    1. the TV takes long time to turn on (between 2.5 and 4 minutes).
    2. the sound of the TV from a Set Top box (HDMI) changes from time to time, as if a low-pass filter has been activated, living just a whistling noise, but returns to normal every few minutes.

    I use the latest firmware.

    This would have something to do with the settings, or do I have to send the TV for repair under warranty?

    Please give some suggestions.

    Thank you

    > 1. The TV takes time to market (between 2.5 and 4 minutes).
    Have you noticed that in the past, or the first day of purchase?

    If not, I recommend you load the default settings (reset) TVs and check it again.
    In the case where the reset won't help you, it might be that a question and device TV related material must be verified by the service agent.

    > 2. The sound of the television to a Set Top box (HDMI) changes from time to time, as if a low-pass filter has been activated, living just a whistling noise, but returns to normal every few minutes.

    This problem could be linked to the connected Set Top Box and not the TV device.

    TV receives the audio signal from the external, connected HDMI (in your Set Top Box case) device. Check if the same audio issues would be noticeable by using another external device like a DVD or BD player. In case the sound issue would be noticeable only with decoder, the question isn't related to the TV, but to the external device.

  • "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

    Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

    I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

    Ron, I have something for you!

    and for all the people who have this problem :)

    Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

    Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

    The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

    Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

    My TV works and looks okay now.

    It actually works!

    the only problem is that it is not in HD

  • Windows Media Center didn't recognize Cisco/ATT Uverse Set top Box remote

    With Windows 7 Media Center throughout the TV Setup Wizard, everything works until the screen of the decoder.  Automatic set-top box set up does not work.  Through the screen to identify my decoder does not work.  There is not an option for Cisco (there are 361 other).  It seems that Cisco should be on this list.

    Using the function "learning" remote does not work either.  Media Centre telling me that it does not recognize the remote.

    There is information on the web about this, but I have not seen an emphatic solution.

  • Satellite M40-230: what cables are needed to connect to the TV

    Hello

    I went to PC World, where I bought my M40 and asked them for cables to connect to my TV using the s-video connection on the back of my laptop.

    They said that this was not possible because S-video does not sound.

    Does this mean that I have to get a separate cable for audio to use via the speaker/headphone jack?

    Please let know us that it is a little confusing.

    Thank you, George.

    Hello

    As far as I know it of possible to connect the laptop to the TV with an s-video cable.
    The dealer is right, but there are different s-video cables.

    You can use one with s-video on one end Jack and taken 3 RCA (2 audio and 1 video) on the other end of the cable. Or you use a SCART instead of the 3 Sockets.

I downloaded a few books, and then I started having authentication errors. I couldn't erase the authorization through Adobe Digital Editions to try to do it again, I kept getting errors. I followed the instructions to change the registry, which withdrew the authorisation of old, and I can now, select "authorize computer". But when I enter my Adobe ID and password, I get the error message:

    Have you tried composition of the ToolTip? In the composition of the balloon, the size of the trigger and target are not interrelated.

    And you can also hide the target area once you have finished the design by unchecking 'Lightbox see the part when editing'

    The only thing missing here is the transition as ToolTip composition has an effect of discoloration.

  • Web Client connection with the "Use Windows logon credentials" error

    Hello

    I tried to configure vCenter Server appliance (suse) 5.5.0b.

    I created a user in the console of bash and permissions added to it with access complete the server vcenter (with multiplication), added to the Group administrators and users etc.

    When I manually enter credentials to connect it let me, but when I check the "Session using Windows credentials" box produces an error message:

    «The authentication server has returned an unexpected error: ns0:RequestFailed: IDM threw an unexpected error during authentication: platform Native Error [code: 1213] [] [ERROR_INVALID_SERVICENAME].» The error can be caused by a source of identity with a malfunction. »

    I have the same credentials on my computer as in vcenter (the two without configured AD) [this works with vcenter on windows 2008 server].

    I heard it could be the problem of the lack of reverse dns lookup, but I works perfectly.

    vCenter server and dns server are on the same subnet.

    I know there is already a discussion on this error, but the solution is not sufficient (I use American English characters and as I already said - it works on different vcenter).

    Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I got from support that clarifies the case:

    "Design when we choose 'References using Session Windows' respective user name and password is sent to vCenter using the Kerberos authentication protocol that only works when the Client and server are joined to a common domain.

    The reason why we are getting the error reported in your environment is that key Kerberos for the host of the server vCenter application are missing from the/etc/krb5.keytab file. So, I confirm that we will not be able to make the "Session using Windows credentials" option to work in Client and server only not part of the domain.
