• Windows Media Center learned remote control cable, cannot recognize the Windows Media Center remote control

  Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit.  I rent a cable box so I can get some programs at the 3-digit level.  When I've set up my Windows Media Center (WMC), WMC learn successfully the cable box remote 1 - channel upward.  My problem is the next step and change the channel using the Windows Media Center remote control or keyboard.  My keyboard or the WMC remote will change the channel.

  I got Windows Media Center to re - learn the cable box remote control twice, which is always successful, but again once, when the time comes to use the Windows Media Center remote control or my keyboard to change the channel, the channel does not change.

  Could someone please help me with this?  Thank you in advance.

  Hey kansascitykid,

  If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box and Media Center is unable to change the channel, or it changes channels incorrectly, check the following:

  ·        The infrared diffuser is connected to your remote control receiver. If the infrared diffuser is not connected, Media Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

  ·        The infrared diffuser is well positioned at the front of the set - top box. If you are having trouble placing the IR blaster on the set - top box correctly, try to use a flashlight to locate the signal on the set - top box receiver.

  ·        IR control codes are configured correctly. If constantly changing channels, control IR codes may not have been configured correctly during the installation of TV signal. To reconfigure your TV signal, on the Windows Media Center start screen, highlight toTasks, clickSettings, click on TV, then clickSet up the TV Signal.

• Windows Media Center will not scan digital channels using a dual tuner (analog/digital)

  I have an AverMedia Volar Max tuner which is analog and digital double Windows 7 Professional
  Media Library 'sees' the tuner as an analog tuner and properly identifies all the analog channels, that I see on TV.
  However, none of the digital channels are detected. I have not found a way to "force" a search using QAM256 or any other research of digital formats.   Using the tuner, cable and connections the same BUT with a linux sotware (mythtv) all digital channels have been identified.
  Is the problem because its analog and digital modes? How can I force Media Center to see the digital capacity of the tuner?

  Might have been a better place to look for information on the AverMedia Max Volar tuner AverMedia USA site.

  If you had looked here to find the latest drivers or to read support information, you would have found:

  The support of the AVerTV Hybrid Volar MAX QAM signals on Microsoft Windows Media Center?

  Currently, Microsoft Windows Media Center does not signal QAM. You will need to use our AVer Media Center in order to receive the QAM signal. Please download the application on our website programs: http://www.aver.com/mpd/support/download/combopcie.html

• Windows Media Center will not receive a TV signal

  My Windows Media Center worked very well and I was receiving many channels of television to the present. This morning I had to uninstall my 2009 trend micro software and then install the software of micro trend 2010. All this went well and it had no effect on Windows Media Center. I then tried to watch TV and I get an error message saying: TV stations must be offline or check the attenna. I get channels on my regular TV so TV stations broadcast. I disconnected my attenna and plugged into a different attenna. Still nothing. I tried to reconfigure WMC for a tv signal and I get a message saying that nothing can be found. I try manually configure and I get a message saying that a Hauppauge WIN TV 885 is available but is not selected. So I guess there is a problem with the Tuner? Everything worked fine yesterday.

• Windows Media Center - recorded not from TV Signal, but TV signal is good

  Windows Media Center record regular shows without problem until last week. Now I have to manually press record for each show, because the Scheduler is almost completely useless, the TV signal is absolutely perfect. Once I pressed record manually, it records very well.

  In regular history, the error is not recorded: no TV Signal

  This is simply not true. I noticed that this can happen, in particular, to the HD recordings. But the signal is always good.

  I tried to delete the programmed recording file but no change.

  The system restore did not improve anything.

  In fact, in this case, I found the removal of all channels and re analysis for them this is the solution.

• Video Windows Media Center HDMI error problem

  I noticed this problem scattered on these forums, and it took me some time to find the solution on other forums, but thought I'd post it here. For people using some graphics cards ATI HDMI with windows 7 MCE, trying to play Dolby Digital sources causes the MCE crashing. The error will say something in terms of "video error... in windows media center must be restarted." This happens about 10 seconds after the video with audio playback SD. I tried to play with all the different types of codecs ffdshow and AC3Filters etc.

  The solution is in fact a major bug in windows 7. To work around this problem MCE7 and windows sound properties cannot assign 5.1 speakers. You define the sound properties in 7 Stereo 2.0 and keep the MCE to 5.1 for dolby Digital encoded files without MCE game crashing. I hope that MS will make a fix for this because it is a serious problem, and the solution is not easy to find.

  I have a ZOTAC ZBOX ND02, dual ATI 750U Tuners and Windows 7.  Reloaded the o/s once to resolve quickly the it and returned.  Spends hours on the subject.  Switching to 2 speakers in the MCE Assistant did the trick.  Thanks for the tip.  Phew!

• 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!

• How can I make Windows Media Center play 21-2 (CBS)? He gets full signal on the search, but does not play.

  The station sister 21 - 1 plays very well. He asks to "frequency" add channel, however, I can only assume that the frequency of 2 numbers is the same 21 found already. Now what? Microsoft sent to HP, which has no support for WMC questions... by their staff in India.

  It's Windows 7, Windows Media Center, the TV Tuner Hauppauge USB Q 950 running.

  I am in Dallas, Texas. The station reads like T2D KTXA and KTXA DT 21-1 to 21-2... which is what WMC pulls upwards with you run the installer for my zip code.

  However, 21-2 is in the CBS reality, KTVT, 11.

  There is some confusion in my mind, as to what the frequency should be, having once been 19 and then received 11 temporarily, etc..

  I tried to get 21, 19 and 11 as the frequency, but WMC will play whatever it is facing 19 or 11 and will play again only 21-1 when I get 21 as the frequency for 21-2 (when I try to add it).

  I don't know what the reason for this problem, but I know there are across the country, in other markets, with WMC did not play all of the signals that it recognizes, even when they are large network signals OTA.

  I hope anyone in the DFW area, has experienced this problem and know the exact fix so I can view the CBS programming, for which I seem to have perfect signal, but can not get of WMC to play.

  Thank you!

  I checked with a contact at Microsoft, and they suggested to try another
  tuner. (If it were me, I'd buy one from a vendor with a massive return of rock
  policy).  The list of compatible tuners is

  I don't know if this will solve the problem, but should continue, IMO.

• How to select the output device HDMI as audio playback for Windows Media Center device

  Output audio media center units

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up my media center from windows to windows media center of output through a separate audio device audio device by default.

  In this case, I have hdmi output that I want to be the output for windows media center and my realtek analog to be the default for all the rest.

  So my overall question is how I make windows media center requires is not the default audio device.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Method 1 is useless. Does that change the audio device by default in the system, what the user seeks specifically not to do.

  Method 2 has no effect at all on Media Center.
  The answer seems to be no, Media Center only works with the audio output device by default.

• Windows Media Center will not recognize TV tuner Digital stations live

  I am trying to display and record all my content from TV on my laptop using my hybrid analog/digital TV tuner card. So far, the WMC recognizes the analog content. But my cable provider provides many channels of ClearQAM I can see on my TV without a decoder, just using the QAM tuner in the TV. My tuner card is supposed to recognize the QAM signals, so I should be able to view all unencrypted content (users) that comes through the coaxial feeder on my portable tuner. But no luck so far. When I set up the TV signal in WMC, the menu only listed setup analog cable my cable box, even though I know that my cable company provides digital content.
  I had actually upgraded my Windows Media Center to include the TV pack (downloaded from Engadget) but even this last version does not recognize digital channels. If I try to change the Program Guide and add them manually, all I get is static when I select the. I am at a loss to know what to do next. Is this a problem that should fix a new TV tuner? I heard good things about the AverMedia card, maybe I should just go that route? Can anyone recommend a new tuner card?
