Media Center losing channel tv help

I have happiliy used the WMC to receive television over the past five years. However, often the information in the guide begins to disappear and using the download of TV Guide is not recover lost information "no data available" shows on the screen matrix and finally all the news channel will disappear. the only way to recover information from channel is going to be resolved completely all channels via the TV set up in WMC. This just happened again (strangely at midnight on 12/31/2012) and now I have no information channel. I just tried a retune but nothing is back - channels are listening but there is no information on the programs available and therefore no way registration of future events.

I think I have the latest updates are done automatically. Any help or guidancewold be appreciated.

On another question I am able to receive the HD via WMC and Sony VAIO VGC 301 X media player freeview, my TV is HD, but I was never able to view. I guess maybe I need some updated hardware, but nobody knows what?

Hoping to hear from you, see you soon.

  • Windows 7 Media Center: scanning channels - System.EntryPointNotFoundException

    My Windows 7 Media Center has worked very well for a few years, a few days ago, some television channels have lost their EPG and I then ran the channel scan who got in what relates to downloading the guide, then crashed as it seems to start to scan channels:

    System.EntryPointNotFoundException was not handled
    Message = entry point was not found.
    Source = ehiProxy
    TypeName =""
    StackTrace:

    at MediaCenter.FirstRun.ScanPage.StartScan)

    ...

    I deleted it and reinstalled Media Center in Windows 7 features and erased, it has databases using "mcupdate - MediaCenterRecoveryTask" and deleted all the latest Windows updates (but not security patches) and I tried a different USB TV tuner but it always crashes.  As I know everything, but the channel scan works very well.  I don't often find chains so don't know when it went wrong, but can not think of a new software which would have affected it.

    Probably the exception I have now two incompatible parts of the software on the machine, but what are they and how can I solve this problem?

    Ideas please...

    Finally, I had all this work once again :)

    To do this, I uninstalled all Windows updates and patches safety installed this year, uninstalled Windows Media Center from Windows features, rebooted and reinstalled Windows Media Center.

    At this point, he still had the flaw.  Finally still with no idea of what could be the problem, I gave up, ran the scan channels one last time which failed, then reinstalled all the Windows updates, try running Windows Media Center Channel Scan again just in case, and it worked perfectly, the guide is also fully filled again.

    I guess you updates of Windows was installed incorrectly and killed the Media Center channel scan.

    Thanks for trying to help.

  • Digital Cable Set Top Box connected to the Media Center computer, forced to keep MC on the use of channels 3-cant TV Guide in Media Center to record

    I have to keep the center of the media on channel 3, and the decoder controls the channel I want to watch or record.  For example if I want to record channel 631 21:00 to 23:00 I would say the MC to record channel 3 for as many programs they broadcast between 9 and 23:00.  This process does not allow registration of the MC - guide as it was planned. I have to use the channels on the cable box only and always have the Media Center on channel 3. Is it possible to come back with the MC TV Guide and record by this guide as it was designed to do, while still using the cable set top box or some other Descrambler for replacement by the cable operator?  Basically, the decoder is a decoder which makes us put all our TV on channel 3.  But the cable ready TV I hear do not need the box, they can use another device.  The computer can do the same?  Nobody seems to have no answer to this problem.  Help!?

    I read your question. I asked you what happened when running
    TV Setup and specifically want to know if the TV Setup detected your set top
    Box/decoder and it happened. If Media Center does not automatically detect your decoder,
    have you tried the manual method to learn codes? I'm trying to help you
    features of Media Center EPG.
     
    You must ask the FIOS people if they have the equivalent of a DTA
    offered in the world of cable and OTA.

  • No Netflix / Internet TV in Media Center

  • Windows 7 Media Center Live tv stutter

    I know there are many other threads on the web for that matter and I did a lot of reading and DIY, but my problem persists.

    Stuttering is particularly bad on some channels, such as the local PBS station, which can rarely go more than 10 seconds without stuttering or throw up artifacts. Most of the other channels are fine. I also have another PC with very similar specs that seems to work on all channels very well, so it doesn't seem to be a signal problem.

    The problem does not seem to be linked to the overall performance of the system, hard drive or video card. I'm suspicious about the USB TV tuner, but he got a lot of good reviews on Amazon, so I'd be a bit surprised and disappointed to see that it comes to the question. All the drivers are up to date, and I've tried older drivers and beta drivers for the video card. I also tried to install K-Lite, in which case it's a codec issue, but I can't understand how to use it. Whenever I try to activate a non-Microsoft codec, Media Center gives me a codec error page when I try to watch television. The two hard drives the good score in HD Tach.

    I tried to disable various running programs in the background too, but note that the CPU, memory, disk, etc. its stats are rarely anywhere near maxed out when TV is stuttering. An interesting point: the continuous stuttering audible when I reduce Media Center.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    My computer stats are as follows:

    eMachines ET1831

    Windows Live Mesh

    Uninstall CrashPlan then test your system and see if he still stutters. I spent countless hours trying to understand why all my music and videos stuttered and jumped on my powerful enough system, no matter what program I used to read the media. Even disabling Crashplan has not prevented the saccade, but when I completely removed from my system the jerking went. I installed Crashplan yet and the saccade is back. I wrote in to Crashplan, but they have never met. I love Crashplan for backup, but it is not worthwhile because it ruins the media playback. I'm going to stop paying for the service, if they don't fix it soon.

    Give it a shot. When you install again and log into you account it restores all your settings and your backups are intact.
    Hope that helps. If it does put a little pressure on Crashplan to repair or provide us with a solution.

  • How can I fix my Windows Media Center

    My Windows Media center to disappear from my computer I already looked everywhere in all programs and windows and nothing features on or off. my computer came with this program, but suddenly its gone I have not now how to get it back. I know that I have not uninstalled it.

    Hi Oscarlo2,

    Same thing happened to me. It could be as simple as another media player, be affected as your default player. My OS is Windows Vista, so I had to go through the following steps:
    Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs
    Windows Media Center should always be which are listed there. Once you is like Media Player by default, it should appear immediately.
    I know that this has been posted a year ago, but if still you have your Media Center, I hope this helps.
  • Failed to read DivX AVI on Windows Media Center

    I recently set up Windows Media Center on my Vista Home Premium SP1 Dell inspiron 1720 to try to distribute multimedia content for my new Xbox 360 Elite.

    He agreed with success the extender of the Xbox, but on the Xbox video files and photo show as empty althouough, it can stream music from the laptop with no problems.

    When I returned to my dell, I saw that my AVI DivX files do not appear in the Media Center or locally, and no more my photos! The only items that he picks up are subfolders in the folders that I added. If I run a DivX AVI movie through a Windows Explorer shell, Media Center will play that music, as if missing the codec - even if Media Player 11.0.6001.7004 has no problem with the even if I close Media Center and then open the file again.

    SO why don't media library on Vista SP1 manage photos jpeg from Sony and Canon caeras, and why he can't play back AVI DivX in? Any help gratefully accepted! :)

    Thank you!
