• How to install Windows Media Center & decoder: Please help!

  I have a HP desktop computer. There not yet 2 years old, I have Windows Media Center (WMC) and I could watch TV very good about it until I'm the cable box. I simply plugged the cable into the Tower, no problem. Now that I have the decoder, I'm confused as to what's missing to make it work! It is said that the IR hardware & IR control cables are missing. What does that mean? Also, how far I will use? Do I have to use a universal? Oh, and it shows the channels that are supposed to be here (for example: it comes through that channel 53 is supposed to be MTV, but there is no video or sound).

  Thank you!!!

  Set your tuner, PC TV channel 3 or 4 according to the cable box output channel.  The decoder is initially connect to the wall and the video output is connected to the PC.  Use the remote control for the set-top box to change channels.  If the PC is to drive the sound then you will also need to connect audio cables (red and white) from the cable box to the audio inputs of the TV tuner card.

  See you soon

  Your options are very limited. For your platform to PC video cards and processors are no longer manufactured. You'll probably focus on the second hand market, if you still want to improve the PC you currently own.

  You should consider upgrading to a PC more modern.

  Ronss, here are the pages of the 'product details' for the computer.  You can use up to an AMD Athlon 64 X 2 5000 + (2.66).  The Council is a Micro-ATX (9.6 x 9.6 ").  The holes in the Board of Directors must match the spacers on the case.  All motherboards to ebay have the same part number.  However, if you look at the diagram of the Board of Directors on the computer, it does not match all the pictures on ebay.  One of the sides to the bottom of the replacement motherboard is the software that came with the computer will no longer work.  HP tattoos the mobo.

  This card looks like an exact match.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

• Xbox 360 connects to Windows Media Center (Windows 7-64 bit)

  I can't get my Xbox to connect to Windows Media Center.  When I ran Vista it would work, but now that I am on Windows 7, 64-bit, it just does not connect.  The strange thing is that I'm able to share media from my PC to the Xbox without fail.  In addition, Windows Media Center has detected the Xbox on the network.  But for some reason, the Xbox cannot find the Windows Media Center.  It makes no sense at all.  I even tried disabling the Windows Firewall to see if it would work, but it didn't.  There is no other firewall in my home network.  Help, please.

• No audio in Vista Media Center Live TV

  In Windows Media Center on Vista, I lost the audio when watching live TV. Others have had this problem, but I have not found a satisfactory answer that solves. Nothing is cut, my speakers to test very well and it IS audio in all aspects of Media Center, including the recorded programs previously. The problem seems to lie in Media Center, itself; I read something on any corrupted files codec, but no indication on how to fix this. Reload Media Center will arrange this and if yes, how can I go about it?

  Sometimes a presence of third-party decoders can cause this problem. If this is the case, uninstall them and check again the question.

  Hi 36109

  Welcome to Windows Vista answers Forums!

  First you can try to uninstall and reinstall Silverlight and check.

  You can try to uninstall Silverlight by downloading the Windows Installer Cleanup utility.

  Restart the computer after the uninstallation of Silverlight and install it:

  Note: Some menus of Windows Media Center does not support third party commercial edition can influence the ability for the Netflix at Windows Media Center entry point to appear. If one of these utilities is installed on the machine, it is likely, it is the cause of the problem, and uninstall the tool does not always solve the problem.

• Live TV in Media Center stutters source HD OTA.

  After Installing Win 7 media center config units, video live TV stutters.  By using evga nvidia motherboard with integrated graphics card of base and win 7 driver from the evga site.  Both ATSC tuners show good to excellent signal for the OVER-THE-AIR stations that I'm watching.  This has never been a problem with vista Media Center.  How can I fix the stuttering?  It makes watching impossible television.

  Look a little further, I saw there was a difference on the site Web of Nvidia GPU driver version included in the package of NForce drivers for the motherboard and that, for just the 7150 GPU (it is what is on my card mother evga 630i/7150).  After downloading and installing the latest driver for just the GPU of 7150 for Win 7 31 bits (GeForce 191.07) that seems to have solved the problem video stuttering.  I only tested briefly so I can confirm that this is the solution once I tested the functionality of TV for HD sources more.

• Error: "failure of the decoder or not installed' when try to play a DVD in Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Dell Inspiron 1501 with Windows XP Media Edition drive d / error/defect of the decoder.

  After download of Internet Explorer 8 I now get a decoder error when you insert a DVD and Media Center. The message says 'malfunction of the decoder or not installed' and suggests to restart the computer and Media Center. This does not solve the problem. The drive is identified as Philips SDVD8820. What can I do to fix this?

  Hi Don,

  You can download and run the Microsoft Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility . This utility will help you determine if an MPEG-2 video decoder, or a DVD decoder is installed on your system and if the decoder is compatible with Windows Media Player 10 and Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.

  Hope the helps of information.
