Media center does not recognize the unencrypted HD channels

I'm trying to record live TV of TV that gets its strings by simply using the power (without decoder) coaxial cable. When I set up WMC, choosing the selection of regular (analog) cable packages it offers, I get all my channels except 5 or 6 unencrypted HD channels that offers my firmware. What are the channels that appear on my TV as fractional as channels 116.2, 117.2, etc.. I really want to record these HD channels. Is it possible to add them manually to the WMC?

Hello MtnGoat,

Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers site.

You can check that the card TV tuner and model is a compatible TV tuner of QAM.

In addition, you can check if you are able to view the unencrypted channels when the cable is connected directly to the TV.

Here is a useful link which includes information on taken TV signals supported by Windows Media Center:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/TV-signals-that-are-supported-by-Windows-Media-Center

For further assistance, you can also post the question to the following Microsoft Web http://thegreenbutton.com/ Windows Media Center Community site.

I hope this information is useful.

Thank you

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize the device (iphone)

    I'm trying to download music from Windows Media Player on my iphone. I can get the files in the synchronization section but the Media Player does not recognize my device or seem to have a way to connect. Can anyone help?

    You will need to install iTunes. The iTunes Setup program adds drivers and services for the iPhone. That's what I do:

    1. Once iTunes is installed, it allows to import all the music in Windows Media Player.
    2. If you want to automatically download album art, you will need to register for an iTunes Store account. Otherwise, just copy the album art from Windows Media Player:
    a. at a command prompt, cd in each music folder.
    b. attrib s h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    c. xcopy AlbumArt * %tmp% Large.jpg
    d. attrib + s + h AlbumArt * Large.jpg
    e e.. now, for each album in iTunes, right click and choose 'Get Info'. Drag & drop the corresponding JPG of %tmp% in the field "Cover Art" and click OK.
    3. connect your iPhone. Select "Manually manage music" on the screen of the iPhone.
    4. click on the icon on the left side of iTunes music. Make sure that all the music that you want to synchronize has an audit. (This is the default).
    5 Select and drag it to the icon of the iPhone.

  • Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

    Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

    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 will not recognize the internal TV tuner from Sony

    Original svl24 title: sony + tv tuner + multimedia
    Win7 Media center won't recognize the internal tv tuner Sony (Bravia). The installation program rises "tv tuner" not found. What is interesting, is that Sony SVL24 can detect and be able to use the TV without Media center option.  Anyone have a solution?

    you have a link to your model of machine somewhere on the Sony site? the info I have
    found the third sites indicates that there is no accessible software
    TV for Media Center tuner. This information shows that you can watch TV without the
    computer is turned on.
     
    To me, this indicates that the TV tuner is the type that you would have in normal
    only TV (which is not capable of Media Center) support.
     
    You can probably add a USB tuner to this all-in-one and watch/record TV via
    Media Center, but it doesn't look like the 'tuner' in your computer is a
    "computer" tuner

  • Recovery media creator does not recognize the USB 32 GB on Satellite L750?

    I hope that there is someone here who can help you:

    My computer is a computer L750 x 64 based Satellite and the problem is that the sound disappears after a few seconds, when I hear the music from Youtube.

    I read in the preinstalled usermanual can I restore the computer pressing F8 when the computer starts, but it does not work.

    The continuous computer just on Windows 7.
    Now I want to restore the computer to the factory standard and will therefore use the Recovery Media Creator but it does not work.

    I want to save data on a 32 GB USB key, but it will not recognize the stick.
    I know that 32 GB is without error, because I can easily store / retrieve data either with FAT and NTFS systems.

    What I am doing wrong and is there anyone who has a good idea, so I can spend?
    best regards Erik

    Even if your USB is working correctly outside of the recovery media creator, this does not mean that it should be handled properly by this tool.

    I had problems creating recovery DVDs even though I was able to burn video files on the same disk.
    As far as I know you must take at least 16GB USB flash memory stick
    Usually, this should work.

    But I m wondering why you are not able to use HARD drive recovery option. Have you changed anything on the HARD drive?

  • Media Player does not recognize the CD drive.

    My windows media player stopped to recognize the CD-RW/DVD drive installed in my laptop Dell Inspiron 8600. I checked the service manager, it says: Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19). It's a samsung CDRW/DVD SN - 324 s is that the computer was shipped with the original drive?

    Hello

    19 code means there is a driver conflict such as two devices attempt to use the same resources.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
