Freeze statement signal tv Windows Media Center

I have a recurring problem.

I'm trying to update my channels of TV tuner in Windows Media Center.

I use a Philips SAA7130, Hybrid Capture Device and I use Windows 7 Ultimate.

Since I moved to Windows 7 since VISTA, whenever I go to Windows Media Center and try to update my TV channels, once it gets past enterting my Zip Code for the United Kingdom and download the guide ok, it then goes to "Examing of TV signal" and then the computer hangs.

Recovery only I have is in power turned off/turned on the PC to recover.

I tried various solutions on the web to work around this problem, but none of them work.

It's more frustrating that the program crashes.

I tried this device to update with a new driver found on the list of drivers Windows 7, as I can't find a reliable one on the Web.

I've updated 6.0.1.3 as dated: 05/08/2009 Philips Semiconductors, but it made no difference.

Judging by researching the web, it seems to be a lot of other users having the same problem and also with different TV tuner cards.

I use this TV tuner card, and it is connected to an external antenna. It's the only method I have on my PC for the reception of digital television in the United Kingdom

It worked ok when it was running on Windows VISTA.

Have you any suggestions please?

All,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I've never seen the above mediaCenterDataStore.db file so searched the Internet and found that the best way to solve the problem is to disable Windows Media to run. The PC should restart.

Then you re-enable Windows Media Center, and then open Windows Media Center and begin the process of setting TV and this time it works fine.

Either way, I also discovered that my TV tuner card not working, so I replaced it with a PCTV NanoStick T2.

I can now TV works as well on the PCTV s/w, as well as on Windows Media Center.

Now, everything works fine, and this issue may now be closed.

For those interested, this is how to disable Windows Media Center for WINDOWS 7 users:

BEGINNING

CONTROL PANEL

PROGRAMS and FEATURES

Select "turn on or off Windows features.

You will find on the left side of the Panel

It opens a new window

Search

MULTIMEDIA FEATURES

Extend the FUNCTIONALITY of MEDIA

Uncheck the box Windows MEDIA CENTER

Follow the instructions to continue.

It takes some time.

It is important to ensure that you have nothing else running like the PC restart after that

Restart the PC

Now, go back to the above process

Re-check WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER to be able to again

It does not suggest to reboot your PC, but I did anyway

I then opened MEDIA CENTER in the normal way

Then, I managed to complete the TV setting process which has taken time but do not hang at all.

Good luck!
