Failed to save to Media Center: "registration of this content prohibited by the content provider.

I use Media Center a few times a week to save on network TV.  Tonight my scheduled to record Cold case on CBS failed because "the registration of this content is prohibited by the content provider.  I've never seen a message like this and have many other CBS programs registered.  In addition, my Comcast DVR is recording without any problems since I switched to it when WMC has failed to reoord it.  Similarly, my DVR Replay previously recorded Cold Case and other CBS programs without problem.  No indication as to what is happening here?

Hello Dwight01,

In addition to the response of Ajay, you can also view the thread below to the Microsoft Website, www.thegreenbutton.com , the community of Windows Media Center and post if the problem occurs with all channels or only chains.  Alternatively, you can pass on your information system.

  • In Media Center Chess Titans, how can I remove the 3 Menu buttons up (game vs man, play Vs computer, exit) while I'm playing?

    In Media Center Chess Titans, how can I remove the 3 Menu buttons up (game vs man, play Vs computer, exit) while I'm playing?

    While I play Chess Titans (Media Center Version, full screen), there are 3 buttons on the top while I play (game vs man, play Vs computer, exit).  These buttons are boring because there is no need of them.  Make a right click on the screen offers these options.  In addition, when you regularly play Chess Titans (not the Version of Media Center and windowed screen), these 3 buttons do not exist.

  • 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

  • Pavilion new hard drive XP Media Center Edition 2005, won't boot from the system recovery disks

    Hi, I'm trying to replace the hard drive in Pavilion a1620n a member of the family with XP Media Center Edition 2005 where the original Samsung SP2504C HDD failed.  I HAVE the original recovery discs 1 and 2 system and additional recovery disk supplied with the PC but the problem seems to be that I can't get the PC to boot from them to start the recovery process.  I installed a new Western Digital 500 GB HARD drive.  The BIOS recognizes it is installed (as well as the existing DVD - RW drive) and drive past the on-board CHIP support tests.  I tried using the Boot Menu ESC to select the DVD - RW Drive as the first Boot device, as well as the tab Boot Setup of BIOS F1 to set the 1st boot CD-ROM device group and other people with disabilities.  After reboot, the drive of DVD - RW turns on for about 2 seconds, then turns off and the display shows "DISK BOOT FAILURE", INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND press ENTER.  I thought maybe I needed a kind of bootable CD boot disk to format the drive first, so I tried a BACK 6.22 bootable CD and a bootable CD of MEMTEST, that work on the other PC, but I get the same message "DISK BOOT... "on this one.  My next idea would be to try to host the new drive on another PC and copy the files on it recovery disk... but is it really necessary?  If the own PC system recovery CD should not be able to... Recover?

    It seems to me that the ligthscribe drive has a problem.  Replace the disk and it may be OK after that.  On a PC so old, it is probably an IDE drive, but check first.

  • When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

    I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

    I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

    I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

    -Doug

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • Windows Media Center - Internet TV - availability and navigation of the full episodes.

    With regard to the full episodes of Windows Media Center - Internet TV.

    I've seen a few questions about this in the Microsoft Answers forum, but 2 / 3 times the official response was unrelated to the question asked. So, to be clear, I'm not talking about watching live TV, navigation in my TV guide, TV recording, or watch recorded TV shows. It's strictly about the availability of the property and to navigate to find full episodes on Internet TV.

    There are a few ridiculous clips ginormous and only a small handful of full episodes. I hate clips. In a busy life, they are the opposite of the useful. So, instead of going through every single show individually to see if it contains full episodes, I want a way to browse shows with full episodes. Is this a problem of training or an enhancement request? Is there a way to filter the full episodes only?

    I would also like to be able to filter my search of full episodes. It seems ridiculous to me if I want to just full episodes, I have to go through a long list of clips in the search results to find. Again... ask for the issue or the development of training?

    I'm also confused why some shows that have full episodes on the site of the network do not have full episodes in WMC Internet TV. I know it's a matter of content and perhaps not something, you can contact... is it be restricted by networks?

    Thank you!!

    Hello

    All the content comes from the provider.  I hate watching the clips too and there is not much Microsoft can do about it. It is sometimes frustrating to go through all the clips to find full episodes. The only thing you can do is to provide feedback to microsoft to enhance the functionality of Media Center search to find full episodes.

    Provide your feedback on this link-

    I'm sure that there are many ppl who like to have an option like this!

  • Media Center problem because it does not change the channel

    I recently changed my dish satellite Direct who changed the channel to 3 4.  My Media Center on my desk, I cannot change just the channel without going through the entire installation, which also requires a configuration for "Câble IR" which, for some reason, it does not.  Therefore, the only option I have given is 'back' or 'Cancel '.  'Back' has no effect except to find the IR cable, in vain.  'Cancel' I shot with no changes!  I'm stuck.  All I want to do is change the channel to receive the TV signal.  Help, please.

    Thank you, Ernest Smith

    Sorry, stupid.  All I had to do was change the channel with the remote control.

  • All of a sudden no sound in Windows Media Center, video playback. No problem with the same files in media player

    My windows media center vista has all of a sudden start to turn off randomly and restart by itself, about 3 weeks ago.  Now, he has lost his.  When I'm going through orders, no sound.  Video games, no sound.  I can still get sound for mp3, but not video.  I can play the same video in media player without any problem.  Can anyone help?  I have Vista Ultimate, service Pack2.

    Hi Doramon,

    Welcome to the Windows Vista answers Forum!

    What are the file extensions you are trying to play?

    This could happen because some of the types of files supported by Windows Media Player are not supported by Windows Media Center.

    To check the file types supported by Windows Media Center please visit the below given link:

    Types of files supported by Windows Media Center

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/file-types-supported-by-Windows-Media-Center

    You can also try and run the System File Checker tool. This would be in repair of the system files that may be damaged.

    Scan SFC enforcement procedure:

    1. click on the Start button

    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories

    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option

    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option

    5. If you have the User Account Control (UAC) enabled, you will be asked permission before the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.

    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter

    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.

    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time

    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue

    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.

    11. once the scan is finished, close the command prompt window, restart the computer and check.

    This would take care of the issue that you are facing.

  • each download will in pdf file that opens in windows media center, I can not pull up or the play .i see the file but do not know how to access the media center.hope it makes sense.

    I have media library but do not know how to open files that is downloaded.

    Media Center does not open PDF files and PDF files have nothing to do with playback of music or videos.  Somehow, downloads do not create the appropriate file types.  Where are you these downloads?  Can you give me a website?  You want to download (images, videos, music, what)?  What version of Media Center do you use?  What version of Vista are you using?  How do you download files and if you use a browser, which is the name and version of the browser?
