Media Center does not load, shows local stations (OTA) (Fox, cbs, abc, etc.) have 1 bar.

Original title: problems with Media Center

I have windows 7 and I have a hauppauge wintv hvr 2250 with updated drivers.

My media center program tells me that local stations (OTA) (Fox, cbs, abc, etc.) have 1 bar and it will not load the tv display and will not record anything.  If I use the wintv program that came with my tv tuner card, they let me view them but not save.  If I take the cable out of my computer and plug directly into my tv the tv works fine and full bar signal.

What should I do to get the computer to resume signals?  I need to replace the tuner card? Update something on windows?  I have a tv ceton tuner card but am unable to use it because I don't have cable TV.

    Hello

    (1) did you make any changes before the show?

    (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

    Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

    -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.


    -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

    -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

    a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
    b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

    I would have you refer to the article below:

  • Media Center does not open on Windows 8.

    Recently built a new PC with Win 8 64-bit Pro and Media Center add-on bought.  However, whenever I click on the WMC icon, nothing happens. I installed a bunch of software on my machine, and some of it was a bit old stuff that I had to run in compatibility mode + install other updates (from / seller directly) to work to win 8. I have no doubt that if some of the older things may have pushed something - it seems, remind one of them wanting to install a .NET framework or something - but I don't know how to solve problems.

    I tried to turn the checkboxes of the WMC feature and restart but that did not help. I tried to start the PC in safe mode to see if that would help solve the problems, but he did not. My ideas on how to solve the problems and if there is anything I can do in addition to trying the Windows 8 update (ugh). Any ideas to help me? The update would be worth trying? I really don't want to spend a whole day trying to track this one down and a lot of software that I'm not sure that the uninstall is the culprit or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  • Media center does not open

    Why can I not use Media center?  It loads then stops.  I went through the system auditor, as suggested, and it does not work. I tried to rebuild the data storage, as suggested, and it does not work. What is the problem with media player?

    You can reset WMC also: -.

    Run the Setup again.

    Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

    Does that help?

    If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

    Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

    Now reconfigure WMC again

  • Windows Media Center will not record shows?

    I just brought a new model of the series Gateway ZRX 6971, with touch screen

    I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro

    Get the free download for Windows Media Center

    Previously recorded shows that has been saved so I still had Windows 7 has played without problems in Windows 8

    However, it won't save poster now because I have "insufficient disk space".

    But I have over 900 GB of free space!

    I tried to tweak the settings in the settings options and even tried to disable recording of HD!

    Still no luck!  Help!

    See my post "Windows 8 - record TV with Windows Media Center problem"

    The answer to my problem is in the penultimate position...

    I managed to solve it now by running a recovery job in the computer management application.

    In case anyone else has this problem, here's what I did:

    1. close Windows Media Center

    2. open the computer management application and navigate to the bottom of the tree in the left panel by selecting system tools-> Task Scheduler-> Task Scheduler Library-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center

    3. at the top, the central panel find the "MediaCenterRecoveryTask" task, which should have a status of "Ready".  Right-click on the task and select run (status changes to "Running")

    4 wait for the task to do his stuff (the status does not change) then right click on the task again and select end (State dates back to "Ready")

    5. open Windows Media Center, which will realize that there is a problem and that it is necessary to rerun the configuration

    After the execution of the task above and completing a successful installer of Windows Media Center, I found I could record once more tv!

    Guess I'll never know exactly what was wrong, but I'll settle for having working again!

    Hope that works for you

  • Qosmio G20-111: after disk HARD changing the Media center does not work

    Hi, I have a WME Quosmio G20-111, after a hard drive, toshiba support center evolution (disc hard bone) in Italy has reinstalled the WME but whenever I try to use the Media Center pc crash and show me a white screen. After several phone call they told me that the problem is that they don't update quosmio drive drivers?
    I'm desperate, any suggestions?

    [email protected]

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know that the Qosmio Player has been installed on the partition hidden on the new laptop, but perhaps the ASP is not install this application after replacing HARD drive.

    But I do not understand why the missing Qosmio Player should have a bad influence on the media library? MC is a Microsoft program that is part of the Windows XP MCE. Player of Qosmio is an invention of Toshiba and should have nothing to do with the MCE.

    However, you can try to install the Qosmio Player and then try to recover the entire operating system with the recovery CD Toshiba original delivered.

    Maybe it helps.
