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?
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.

Hi James,
Welcome to Microsoft Community where you can find all the answers related to Windows.
According to the description, it looks that you are not able to install Windows XP Media Center.
I have a couple of steps that should help you to solve this problem.
Follow these 4 steps to install the KB925766 correctly:
a. if the 886904 update is installed, you must uninstall the 886904 update before you install the Update Rollup 2 for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. Otherwise, the installation of .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 will fail.
To determine whether the 886904 update is installed, follow these steps:
i. click on start, run, type appwiz.cpl, and then click OK.
II. Click to select the show updates check box.
III. in the list currently installed programs, locate the following item:Fix for Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904)
If you see this option, you must remove the hotfix. To remove the patch, click on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 (KB886904) Hotfix and then click on remove. Then, visit the Windows Update Web sit to download and install the Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
b. to install this update, you must have Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 installed. Windows Update detects whether these packages are installed. Windows Update automatically installs these packages for you.

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 runningTV Setup and specifically want to know if the TV Setup detected your set topBox/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 youfeatures of Media Center EPG.You must ask the FIOS people if they have the equivalent of a DTAoffered in the world of cable and OTA.BarbMVP - Windows/entertainment and connected homePlease mark as answer if that answers your question -
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.

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:
screen A___
WMC has discovered the following:
Analog cable (1 Tuner)Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.
(Show details)Is this Setup correct and complete?
o Yes, configure TV with these results
o no, show more options
________________
When I click on show details, it is said:screen B___
No TV Signal
If a TV signal should be present, check your signal for following tuners connections and try again:
Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
________________
There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.
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-

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.

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.

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?
Thank you!
