• My Media Center is still broken. The notice of recovery, I have to fix was less useless.

  I followed all the instructions given to me to attempt a repair of ehRec.exe. These instructions took the time to follow, but in the end, destroyed my software Windows completely. I have re-installed Windows from the installation disc (which did not include a codec MPEG2.) I got the ffdshow codec, kind of works. However, even after a reinstall complete ehRec.exe is always (occasional) broken, that my media center crashes more than half the time, I try to use it, and almost always regular for registration fails. Is it possible that maybe some Microsoft fix caused the problem? I know by looking at other forums that I am not the only unhappy camper in Media Center.

  I am very pleased with the notice I received. The instructions regarding the use of sfc were simply wrong and the instructions on how to fix my problem were probably just fake too. For example, I don't think you can do a repair installation, unless you have an up-to-date installation CD 100%. Certainly, that didn't in my case and left the system in a State that won't start plu. I start to wonder if your procedures have been tested on real systems with older installation CD and upgrades and random failures since the initial installation.

  On another thread, kkwriter (a user, no Microsoft technical support) gave me an answer to this problem:

  Media center and client .net 4 are not compatible. Remove .net 4 and the media center problems disappear. (Ignore the warning that some programs may break if you remove .net 4 when uninstall you.) Some might, but none that I use.)

  There are probably a lot of people with the media center problem. It's too bad Microsoft does one.

• Vista Media Center - TV station changed its frequency. Media Center cannot find station on the new frequency.

  My ABC (Cincinnati) local affiliate, WCPO, today broadcasting on Channel VHF 9 - 09/12/2010. They are now on a UHF frequency radio. I don't know what channel/frequency. When this switch occurred, Media Center has started to display the message "No TV signal". Apparently, the Media Center picks up information of the station from a central location and not be notified of this change.

  I have downloaded the latest Media Center Guide, turn the computer off and then restart Vista. This did not help.

  Went to 'Task'-> 'Settings'-> 'Set Up TV Signal' this morning (9:30 EST, 11/12/2010) and went into the channel configuration process. When I finished, WCPO Channel 9 has been available again. Here is the line from the file atscchannel.xml for WCPO it appears now:

• Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

  Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

  Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

  The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

  It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

  What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

  I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

  Thank you and best regards!

• Windows Media Center is no longer regular registration of programmes; Windows 7 64 bit

  I am out of resources here; for several months, I used Windows Media Center to record TV on a digital antenna using a USB stick tuner. I can still watch live TV and I can record TV, but recordings don't work anymore.

  If I start Media Center when a show is planned, it will start recording, but this is the only time where he records.

  It has no errors in the event viewer, and indeed if I activate WMC when a show is expected it will say something like "started recording as planned at 11:15" even if it was actually planned for 11:00 (11:15 when I started WMC).

  The broadcast of programs as provided in WMC before they air, but do not appear in the history (that is, there is no message "could not save") thereafter. It's as if they were never.

  WMC Scheduler service is running. I removed and added WMC. I've cleared my schedule and began again. I changed the drive on which the records are stored. In all cases, the programs do not register unless I start it manually, or start WMC after the show was supposed to start.

  Any ideas on what I can try other than a reinstall full Windows?

  Posted this on the forum of tecnet so will set post here.

  OK, I finally solved the problem.

  The error was caused by invalid or corrupted registry in the following text entries:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Schedule\TaskCache\Tree\Microsoft\Windows\Media Center

  When I removed the WMC she removed only some entries not all the following have been left in the registry:

  mcupdate_scheduled

  StartRecording

  PvrScheduleTask

  So I deleted C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\ehome & removed WMC, I then made a backup and deleted the key to Media Center. I then reinstalled WMC and make run the TV setup, checked the registry and found that the Media Center button had been replaced by new entries.

  Finally tested LiveTV etc., regular programs of record, and finally SUCCESS, all planned recordings recorded without problem.

  Remember to always back up the registry or create a restore point before you attempt to change the registry.

• Vista Ultimate x 64 Media Center hang during and after the recording program

  I recently bought a Sony VGC-RT150Y.  More information can be obtained here:

  http://www.SonyStyle.com/webapp/WCS/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&StoreID=10151&langid=-1&ProductID=8198552921665507557

  Highlights of material are:

  NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600M GT GPU

  AVerMedia 313 has (analog TV tuner card)

  AVerMedia A317D (digital TV tuner card)

  The unit works Vistax64, Ultimate Edition.  I installed all the updates that are available through Microsoft Update.  And there is no download with Sony indicating that they could help solve the problem I have.

  The problem is that the computer hangs sporadically after that it registers a program.  After a night of record unattended, the unit is on and does not respond to the keyboard.  The display is blank or frozen.  The computer is connected via a wired network.  I try clicking of the camera and it does not.

  Sometimes programs are saved in their entirety.   Sometimes programs are truncated.

  When I try to get more information via the monitor of performance & reliability, all I get is "stop disruptive."  When I go into the control panel "Report Problems", there is no reported problems.  History of recording program in Media Center lists only one generic error indicating power has been disrupted or the system was not available.  I know that there is no power failure, because I have a NAS connected to an inverter and there is no paper power failure.

  I reported the problem to Sony.  They sent a technician to replace the power supply and the motherboard.  Still no change.

  Defective equipment could only be a TV tuner or the RAM.  All other material was traded through the exchange of motherboard.

  I'm now back to thinking it's a software problem.  Any ideas on how to start this chasing?

  After having poking around on the forums and a little thought, here's what I'll try:

  1. play with the power settings to ensure that the unit never sleeps.  I want to see if the problem is with MCE or power management.

  2. try 'analog' instead of digital recording.  I'm mainly recording clear QAM channels.

  I'd be open to other suggestions that you (all) may have to try to understand this.

• Windows 7 Media Center very slow to load the program guide

  I run a Fujitsu Esprimo E3521 Core 2 Duo 2.93GHz with 2 GB of Ram. I use a dual DVB - T2 tuner card black gold. The PC works as expected with all other tasks (Netflix, iPlayer, MyMovies for Media Center), but when I first load the program guide, it takes more than 30 seconds before the system displays the guide and becomes sensitive (later loading times are a little faster, unless the PC is in "standby", in which case I face the same deadline when you enter the program guide). There is no other applications running on the system (the PC directly in the MC boots). Once the guide is loaded, it works at normal speed (sometimes channel tuning may take longer than expected, but usually he settles in a few seconds).

  I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate. Recently, I reinstalled the operating system and for a few days the PC seems to be running OK, but he soon return to be incredibly slow, loading guide. (I also started to notice that it takes longer time to start playback of recorded assets).

  Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much

  Hi Richard,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.  Let me help you with your concern.

  The information in the Guide is periodically downloaded from the Internet from your Guide list service provider. You are notified that "no data is available" in the Guide in the case either of the following things:

  • Windows Media Center cannot connect to the Internet and download the new Guide information for a long period of time, and the Guide information that was previously downloaded is corrupt or has expired. For more information, see solving problems with an Internet connection. (Applicable for Windows 7 alos article)
  • Guide information is not available for your location from the lists Guide service provider. For more information, see download updated Guide listings. (Applicable for Windows 7 alos article)

  You can see this Microsoft article and check if it helps:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/is-is/Windows/use-guide-Media-Center#1TC=Windows-7

  If the Guide appears blank and manually download the latest announcements of Guide doesn't seem to work, you may need to set up your TV signal again. To learn how, see set up a signal TV in Windows Media Center.

  I hope this helps. If you need help with Windows, let us know and will be happy to help you.

• Windows XP Media Center 2005 cannot connect to the Internet

  Dear all,

  I'm having a problem with Windows XP Media Center 2005. The problem is that when I connect the cable from the modem to the laptop, I only send packets without receiving. The IP address I get is also 169.254.207.207, which is not a valid IP address to connect to the internet, and so I guess that something is blocking the laptop to get the IP address. Another thing I noticed is that when I turned off the modem and restart it, I have connectivity maybe 5 seconds and then return to no connectivity.

  You guys can tell me what is the problem, and if I have to download something but in addition to the internet so that I can get my laptop to work. That said, I can connect to wireless with no problems.

  Thanks for your help and your time

  Martyna

  Hello

  Sorry for the question but what modem did you mean?
  A simple analog modem or DSL (broadband) modem that supports support a LAN connection.
  If you mean the second then I would check the TCP/IP settings in the properties of LAN card. The settings should be set to automatic

  You should also check that you firewall settings.

• Can burn CDs in Windows media center is no longer

  burn cd in windows media center, and then was going to burn another cd and I clicked on the wrong question and the issue of burning anything never comes to the top, it is nonsense.

  I also suggest that run you the automated Microsoft Fixit for problems with the CD/DVD.

  It helped when I couldn't burn DVD on my personal computer.

  Let us know if that helps.
