• channels digital vs analog with Hauppauge WinTV - HVR 850 with Windows Media Center

  I just bought a Hauppage WinTV - HVR 850 hoping to be able to use my computer as a DVR and record some TV series.

  Do not have an HD antenna on our House and have basic cable (which has analog channels, but we can also take digital channels on our tv, which has a tuner).  When I plugged the cord to cable TV from the wall outlet at the end of this device, he searched and found only the analog channels (I tried with only the antenna mounting and it is like 3 stations).  I recorded a show on one of the analog channels and it was fuzzy.

  Is it possible to hook it up to my computer so I can get HD cable channels?  We will get an HD soon of our cable company box.  I wonder if he has 2 'out', so I could split that and I have only once to my TV and the other which could plug into this Hauppauge thing? Or the device will do only analog cable and HD with the antenna?

  Any other suggestions?

  You can return the tuner?
  The HVR-850 is a cable analog / ATSC tuner.  It cannot set Clear-QAM (digital cable clear.)  I'm sorry.
   
  The HVR - 950 Q can set Clear-QAM, however.  Note, however, that this Tuner cannot be switched on the fly between modes - you choose which you want (analog cable, or clear-QAM) during the TV configuration.
  

  There are a lot of tuners out there which, frankly, are far more capable than what is the HVR-850.
  Is this a desktop or a laptop?  If a desktop computer, what you have for the available expansion slots: PCI, PCIe, or not at all?

  Another question / comment:
  Media Center for Windows Vista can't Clear-QAM, unless your version includes TV Pack 2008 (not available for download, by the way.)  "It was an option installed by OEM).  Some manufacturers of tuner, however, provide "workaround" pilots who are MC think it's a tuner ATSC (which is supported.)
  Could you at tasks > settings > General > about > version of the software and after the version number that appears there?

• How to uninstall windows media center?

  How to uninstall windows media center? It keeps opening up, and I can't open all the files, pls help...

  See - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/15530/uninstall-disable-or-remove-windows-7-media-center/ - perhaps?

  But if she "continues to open and you cannot open all files" maybe something is seriously wrong somewhere else. If he goes much evil that is, no file opens, then when it started to happen? It has been recently? you got whatever it is installed again just before the problem occurred? If then possibly consider to delete that or try a "restore point" at one point, just before the error started.

  Media Center

  While not a central theme of your comments, I have received about 50 emails about Media Center. I would like to reassure customers that Media Center will certainly be part of Windows 8. No doubt about it. Knowing how strong the support of Media Center is between the testers of the preliminary version, we still have to do to ensure quality and compatibility with supplements is what you expect still in pre-release (as for any version of Windows, compatibility is an important effort, and when we work on the underlying video engine (for example, make sure that the features that push these areas receive adequate coverage).

• How to get Windows Media Center to 'Save' a TV channel while I discover another. I have a card double Tuner called 'BGT3595 '. Can anyone help?

  In Windows Media Center "Setup" screen, My double Tuner Card is recognized, as "Media Center" displays "Tuner No. 1", "No. 2 Tuner" and setting.  When I record a program and I want to watch another, "Media Center" displays the program that I wish to record.  I can't find in "Media Center" where I can manually click a tuner to record and use the other tuner for viewing.  Can someone please advise?

• I'm trying to connect my xbox live to my files. How to make Windows Media Center?

  I am trying to connect my files from my account to xbox live.  I was trying to figure out how, and he said that I needed Windows Media Center.  It doesn't even look like my Windows XP offers.  I can't find anyway.  Can I add my system?  Is that going to even to allow me to access my files?  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hope this helps ;) I know that it is a complicated process and I understand the House will network computers running the Media Center. If you click on the following link, you should be able to determine if you have any problems of compatibility http://support.xbox.com/en-us/pages/xbox-360/troubleshoot/media-center-faq.aspx

  I strongly recommend to contact Xbox customer service because they have a specialized department set up just to manage customers to help with the implementation and use of the Media Center/Media Extender services available.

  However, here is an overview of some of the basics to have this work:

  Some with Media Center PC/Windows versions are:

  • Windows 7 Home Premium or full, professional edition
  • Windows Vista Ultimate or Home Premium
  • Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

  Once the media center is installed on the pc, you must configure the xbox as a Media Extender and authorizes.

  Finally, you need to add a network share connection between your console and your pc. This process can be a little intimidating, once again, I recommend that you contact customer service with the help of an expert in the Media Center .

• How to remove windows media center in the virus

  When I'm almost about to remove Center windows media, when I click on turn windows features, windows media center automatically pop. also, when I try to open any other program, Windows media center pop again. How can I remove this without it popping up when I click on something.

  Back up important data first, if you can. Then backup the registry. These two precautions.

  Then, if this has occurred there is little time, you can use System Restore to a point just before the association of the WMC has occurred.

  If this is not the case, see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html and use file associations that are false. You probably need the patches .exe and .com (depending on what actually open WMC. For example, if all programs open WMC)

  Microsoft abandoned Internet TV for Windows Media Center in September 2012. So you will need to use IE.
