Is there a better Windows Media Center Live TV Guide that I can download/use?

I have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950 Q hooked up to Windows Vista Home Premium.  I don't like the WMC - TV Guide.  Is there anything else I can use with this set up?

Hello

 
You can use your favorite search engine and look for a TV guide of your choice. Before installing, check the system requirements and make sure that the application is compatible with Windows Vista.

  • Windows Media Center lost information Guide for some channels, but it is still on zap2it

    Why Windows Media Center (WMC) is no longer a information Guide for some channels, when she used to have?  WMC uses the information from zap2it.com and zap2it.com still has the elements of programming for these channels.  The Guide has "No data available" for all the hours for these channels.  For Los Angeles area broadcast, channels of first importance are 40.2 by 40.5 (40.1 is very good, as evidenced by the correct include titles and descriptions).

  • Update of Windows Media Center electronic Program Guide only to July 22, 2015.

    Electronic Program Guide (EPG of my Windows 7 Media Center PC) ceased to be updated since July 15, 2015. I manually download updated guide to day and it confirms that the download was successful, but the guide has information up to the part of July 22. No information is passed to 20:00 on 22 July.

    This is a temporary problem or should there be a fix for Windows Update?

    Thank you!

    Same thing I had, but this fixed it for me.  Run the installation of media center and set up the new TV signal.  Takes a little everything and some channels is different, but the guide whole is back.  Not sure if I need to reprogram my recordings again.  I hope this works for everyone!

  • Windows Media Center not updated guide data

    I tried to restart the Media Center, but when he tried to make a new configuration of the tv he said data could not be downloaded and that it would use existing data.  This must have been the place that is the problem. What should I do now?  My guide data expires tomorrow.

    restart and try to TVSETUP with a ZipCode nearby. If you still have a problem
    You must include your provider name and postal code

  • Given that I already used the windows key on my computer, means that I can never use it again? Or is - this perpetual, I can use it forever?

    So a few months ago I completely wiped the BONE (sindows) acccidentally. I don't know why it happened, but there is no file at all, no OS. Using another computer, I had a trial version of the same Windows I have 7 Home premium and inserted the product key, I have inside my Dell laptop and got it to work under Win 7 again. My question is: given that I've used the key of windows already on my computer, does that mean I can never use it again? Or is - this perpetual, I can use it forever?

    You can use as many times as you like on the same Dell computer.

    There might be some cases if reinstall you it from scratch, you may need to use the activation of the phone well:

    How to activate Windows 7 manually (activate by phone)
     
    1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
     
    (2) press the ENTER"" key.
     
    (3) select your "country" in the list.
     
    (4) choose the option "activate phone".
     
    (5) stay on the phone (do not select/press all options) and wait for a person to help you with the activation.
     
    (6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.

  • Is there any way I can remove to concede Mozilla non exclusive, free of charge, worldwide license to use the content that I can download using Sync?

    I started to download Mozilla Sync to my computer, but stopped after reading an article in the terms of use. He States, "5. Your content in our Services: you can download content as part of the functionality of the Services. By downloading the content, you grant us hereby an exclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world to use your content in the context of the provision of Services. "Take you represent and warrant that your content will not infringe the rights of any third party and that it will comply with any content directive introduced by Mozilla ', so I stopped the download until I could learn more.
    I also think that your privacy under the heading synchronization policy says that Mozilla will strive to keep my content only as needed. If this is the case then by two distinct statements in your terms and conditions Privacy policy, you may deem it "necessary" to keep all my content that you want to use.
    My question is this, is it possible to deny the exclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world to use my content that I can download using your service of the Mozilla? "I will not be forced to allow anyone this type of license to use my art or writing ' ad arbitrium".

    IIRC, section 5 is basically guaranteeing that you are the real owner of the content that is uploaded to Sync, and that Mozilla is not going to get justice for copyright infringement, the content that you download is safe, and the terms are for a "license to use your content in the framework of the provision of Services' not even Mozilla can access.

    First of all, there is not - and has never been - anywhere to download a legal copy of any version of Windows XP...

    Second, Windows XP Media Center Edition was available as a pre-installed OEM operating system (for example, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  If you wanted a computer with MCE, you should have bought one with MCE.  In the unlikely case where your second-hand computer comes from an OEM and it came originally with MCE (look at the sticker on the box), it is possible, at a distance, the same manufacturer can provide the installation media necessary for a price.

    If the video card in the computer is able to drive the "big flat screen", then you have nothing else (assuming that the computer meets other material).  See http://www.ehow.com/info_8204776_needed-netflix-streaming-work.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_7561774_stream-netflix.html

    Windows Media Player is a reading application where you can play music, videos and synchronization devices.
