  • Media Center-Guide ads

    OS-windows vista Home premium
    When I created guide announces TV channels are listed alphabitically (arround 200 channels)
    And it (the Decree) does not correspond with the channels available. How can I assign these channels in the guide for the channel list or lists. The solution is nice channel. It's almost a mission impossible. Because, suppose that navigate the list to 2nd 5th Channel to match my channel swept, the 2nd channel is moved to the 3rd position, a 3rd at 4rt position and so on. that is, all other strings in the list is arranged.
    In the Edit Channel option, the channel number cannot be eddited
    Is it possible to change the channel number in the registration guide.

    It seems that nobody here knows answer (including me). I suggest that repost you this on The Green Button forums , there are some experts WMC. Tim Baets

  • Media Center Guide download stopped download after years... no error message.

    Windows Vista 32 SP2

    After years of good Guide ads download of my system just stopped downloading updated lists of programs.  Media Center said that it downloads successfully but not so much.  No error message.  I tried to re - configure the Guide in Media Center.  I tried to manually download updated program listings.  I uninstalled updates 11/04/12 NETframe4 have read that they can be problematic.  I restored to the 10/04/12, which is just before the big update 11/04/12.  None of this worked and my recorded shows stop at 5 pm PT 19/04/12.  What is the answer?  Thank you.

    There are several recent reports of problems with the guide data. Some people
    declare that the guide has finally started in. you can try to fill a
    neighbor of zip code and see if you get better results and then switch back to
    your code.

  • Windows Media Center Guide does not correct list shows

    I use a Vista Home Premium, the other day I reformatted my computer because I had problems with it. everything went well and media center opens and works very well. However, it used correctly list indicated in the guide, no matter what I do, and it worked properly before the reformat. The channels are listed correctly, if TBS is supposed to be on channel 2, according to the guide, is, therefore, when I go to channel 2 I am indeed on TBS station, BUT even if the show is listed as 'Home' in the guide, which is in read mode is like Sienfeld or some other show. Even when I record programs when it starts recording it will tell me 'Reecording House' and when you go to channel his record some other show is apparently on at that time.

    I tried completely relative to the implementation of the centre, tried to re-do ads guide by using 3 or 4 different postcodes, tried to look in my BIOS to see if my system clock is off, I tried looking for an updated driver but can't find the Media Center or don't know what it's called , and nothing has worked so far.

    What is the problem with my Media Center? Is an off clock that actually play the shows at the wrong time? I've been home 3 days now so please if you know EXACTLY what is wrong just to give me a bunch of things to try, and I'll try them

    Thank you

    Hi eps3742,

    This can happen if the media center guide downloads information guide incorrect.
    I suggest that you try to re installation guide and download the guide for registration again and check if it works.

    To set up the Guide listings

    To find your favorite programs more easily, you can configure your Guide lists to match your local service provider's guide listings.
    1. on the Start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide ads.
    2. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

    If you are prompted to select a TV provider and you do not know which one to select, control a recent draft Bill or statement from your TV service provider to find the appropriate information.

    The providers listed in Windows Media Center vary according to the Postal Code or ZIP. If the supplier subscribe is not listed for the ZIP or the Postal Code entered, try entering local codes find the appropriate Guide listings.

    Check out the link for more information below.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-Guide-listings-for-use-in-Windows-Media-Center

    I would also say that you check if the time zone in windows is set correctly.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-the-clock

    If the previous step fails, then try to download the cumulative update of the Center media of the KB article below and check.

  • Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

    Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

    It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

    To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

    So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

    You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

    ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

    ... Thank you!

  • Stopped Media Center Guide to update

    I have Windows XP Media Center Edition and some time around Christmas, the Media Center Guide stopped updating.  In turn, the recorded tv has stopped working.  It's been over 3 months later and it still does not work!  It all started when my computer updated.  It's updated several times since then and has still not solved the problem.  Help, please!

    Hello Jen_1918,

    I suggest that scan you SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    a. click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

    b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

    Note: Could you prompt to insert the Windows XP CD.

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  • Windows 7 Media Center will not download the new guide listings

    Hello

    I am really frustrated. WMC will not download the new guide listings and I tried all the patches that are supposed to be that I found in this forum. I also tried the system restore, which did not fix the problem. Obviously the problem is not affected by the restore program.

    I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

    I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?

    Thank you
