• I have problems setting up Windows Media Center TV Tuner to the Canada.

  I live in the Canada. I have Windows 7. I tried to set up my TV Tuner (for cable-vision, not Internet TV) in the 'Windows Media Center', but there is no "Canada" on the regional list to download my local channels. How do I pass this roadblock?

  Because your computer is 5 years old I guess that TV Tuner came not from IBM. However if that were the case IBM ccontact. If she has not contacted the manufacturer of the TV Tuner. The driver name must match the name of the TV Tuner. You can try to download a driver with your computer. Make sure that your Tuner is connected to your computer. Go to configuration panel, Device Manager, expand "Sound video and game Contolllers" Double click on your Tuner, select the driver tab, click on get updated driver, follow the prompts.

• Security Suite blocking Windows Media center to connect to the Extender

  I was initially a little happy home network with an xbox 360, a wired router and my pc under Windows 7 ULT(64bit) Norton 360 AV. During my AV license expires, I downloaded the version of my ISP (Norton Security Suite 4) to replace.

  Now I can't Media center to add or discover the Extender. I added to Windows Media Center svchost.exe to the list of permitted programs, but it doesn't have the thing.

  In help on the xbox live forums, suggestions are to work with the Windows Firewall not Norton. The Norton software has a different interface for the administration of the rules and I saw not a place where you can designate which programs can access which ports. And half of the programs listed as Qwave, Remote Desktop etc, I can't even find the interface of Norton.

  If anyone knows or has worked this issue before Norton Security suite please respond when you can. Thank you

• 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

• Media Center does not support the digital TV Tuners to the Canada, only US places why

  Is there a reason why Wondows 7 Premium Home Media Center isn't support / detect my digital TV tuner when the location is set to the Canada? Only the ANALOG tuner is detected. I have ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCI-E installed

  I am living in Calgary, Alberta Canada and the Canada's analog and digital at the end of August Tv is not broadcast anymore.

  If I change my position to the United States and enter a ZIP code, as indicated for example, beside the ZIP box, both my analog and digital tuner is detected. manual configuration I would like to be able to view local HD channels, but the TV guide is is in the sewer because I put en location.

  I thought earlier that there will be an update when switch us to television digital broadcasting here in the Canada, but is not passed.

  Yet once, why the Media Center only detects the analog tuner when I have the location defined in the Canada and my correct Postal Code? I enjoy to get an answer to this, if it is the policy of some sort or a miss from Microsoft.

• How to load Microsoft Media Center TV from inside the Touchsmart request

  Hello

  I would like to be able to run Microsoft Windows Media Center of the Touchsmart software, however I don't seem to be able to add the Windows Media Center application to the list of "Targets" Touchsmart, in fact I thought that this would be already listed as target - but is not...

  In the case, I tried to add it manually in my target field but I get an error in pink bounce foolishly saying

  "The target entry is not valid. If please check spelling and re-enter the target. »

  Here's what I did and would expect it to work, but don't - mind if I get this you right from the start-> execute command or in a shortcut, the command works, it loads and runs the TV without going through the Media Center Start menu...

  In Touchsmart app,...

  1. click on customize

  2. click on add a tile...

  3. click on the type of program, and then click Next button

  4. in the type of field target in:

  C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

  5. in name, enter "TV".

  6. choose an icon in the icon list

  7. click on OK

  (Here is where I get the mentioned error)

  Thanks in advance...

  Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

  In fact, I think I solved the problem!

  I created a link shortcut on my desktop with the command line and then instead to enter the command line for the target to step 4, I entered the link shortcut instead, for example I created the shortcut first and placed it on my desktop with the following command line:

  C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

  I named the abbreviation "TV".

  In step 4, I entered the target manually as:

  C:\Users\Jim\Desktop\TV.lnk

  And then the rest of the steps, now I see the tile in Touchsmart and I am able to run the TV in Media Center live!

  But I still don't understand why Microsoft Media Center is not listed in the default target list...

  Cheers... (Yay for me lol)

• 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

• Error Windows Media Center full disk, but the disk is not full?

  Watching TV Live I get a 'Disk full' error after 10-15 minutes of watching (HD if it matters) telling me to delete recorded programs or assign another drive. I havenotregistered program and my assigned drive has 50 GB of free space with 40 allocated in the WMC settings for recording/tv live (although I have no record).

  I want to wrong thinking that 40gigs of free space should be much to just watch live TV?  It should not just delete the buffer to rewind etc once it fills up?

  PS once I get this message if I closed and reopened WMC, he worked for another 10-15 minutes, then gives the same error.

  Edit - don't know why, but this ended in forum music and sound

  I had the same problem and found that not a single one of these solutions has solved my problem.

  I solved it by making a backup copy of the recorded TV (c:\users\public\public TV recordings) directory and then delete this directory. When you open Media Center, it seems to recreate the directory hidden in the directory recorded TV (\temprec), which is used for the live TV buffer, freeing all the corruption that may have already.

• Windows 7 Media Center blocks access to the recorded TV library

  I have Windows 7 Ultimate and it seems that all my drivers work fine. I can watch live TV and netflix indefinitely without problems. However, whenever I have TV access recorded, it hangs about 3 seconds after I access. Even if I just look at the recorded TV screen (3 seconds later it crashes), or if I try to record something (3 seconds later it crashes). Can I change my TV settings without problems and I tried to change the location of the hard drive where they are registered. I also cleaned all of my hard drives a disk check run several times. Any ideas?

  Hello, Brendan

  Records how many do you have?

  Were you able to watch list without locking in the past?
  If so, try to do a system restore to where he worked. You can find instructions on how to do a system restore as well as further information on the following link:System Restore: frequently asked questions

  Go to Start, Control Panel, programs, programs and features, click Windows turn features on or off, in the category media uncheck Windows Media Center, press OK and restart your computer. Then, repeat steps and check the option of Windows Media Center to reinstall it.
