Media Center not display or record one channel. Signal OK

I have an ATI tuner card in a desktop under Vista Home Premium PC.  When I run Setup of Media Center, he finds all the channels.  When I select in this case channel 56.1 (or 56.2 and 56.3) I get nothing.  As a result, I can't save this channel either.  I'm in the Los Angeles area, with a roof antenna, the signal strength is not the problem.

If I use the ATI application, the channel comes very well and records too.

I have a laptop running Windows 7.  I just bought a key USB from Hauppauge.  Windows Media Center detects all channels, and on this configuration, I can view 56.1 etc..  BUT, when I select a program to record from the EPG, it not save and give an error message that there is no signal.  If I look at the same channel when a record event program starts, the screen goes black, and the level of the signal LED on the USB turns off.

As with the other computer, the application supplied with the device works very well on the channel in question.

On both computers, I tried to manually add the channel (the physical channel is 32), no luck.  All the other channels, with the exception of the 56 works very well.

My conclusion is that the electronic Program Guide to be a mistake for this channel.  As it does on two different computers with two different tuners, two different antennas and all other channels work fine, I don't see how it could be a hardware problem.

For any help or suggestions would be most appreciated!

Method 1:
You can also create a new user account with administrative privileges and try to save channel in Windows Media Center. If it works fine, it means that the other user account is damaged.

  • Windows Media Center - not the initial download put in place data for guide "unable to connect to the remote server.

    Hello

    Looking for help on this one...

    I have a new install of windows 7 pro running, and I was not able to get the guide to download Windows Media Center.   I am up-to-date with all the updates and SP1 version running.   My video card drivers are also updated.

    I use HDHOMERUN PRIME equipment with cablecard and who receives a TV signal very well and I am able to view it in WMC.    I use Verizon FIOS and my zip code is 07452.    Before this computer, I ran the cablecard even with a ceton infinitv and had no problem Guide at all.

    It's just that I can't download the guide data.  Its just totally blank.   I receive the channels and view them, but there is NO data.      Whenever I run the TV setup the same question comes up.  Cannot download the initial configuration data due to the error of previous download.   As far as I know, there is NO error message when Windows installed... actually... I reinstalled windows completely and this has not solved the problem.    I tried to manually download the guide which did not help.   It... nothing happened when I turned 'on' and 'off' WMC in Control Panel to reinstall.  I even tried explore the ehome folder and remove the file db... but nothing is helping.

    I can't find a file mcupdate.exe light on my system - don't know if this is relevant.   When I looked in the event viewer here are some of the error messages that I see.

    Impossible to extract the EpgLineups (error: unable to connect to the remote server)

  • Media Center won't play recorded video

    All my recordings are protected recorded video HBO on my hard drive of the PC. When I read them to my PC using Windows Media center only monitor, all play. When I use a USB to HDMI converter directly to my TV, some of them play, but some give me the error "display drive errors: video playback device does not support protected content playback. Since it is a direct connection to my TV from my PC where are stored the videos, I don't understand why this is not allowed. Is anyway to get Media center to recognize this device? Is there another device that works? This can be corrected. Do I have to use an Extender?

    Charles, I looked towards the top of the map that you said that you used in the first thread you
    started earlier this month. There is no indication that
    HDCP is consistent.
     
    I read a few pages of the magazine for this device on Amazon. Most people
    who looked at it to use it as a monitor. A few people mention a message
    not HDCP.
     
    I don't have any other "answer" for you. I'm sorry.

  • Why Windows seems to work very well, but Windows Media Center not?

    Hello

    Today, I was with my Home Theater PC (HTPC) to record TV. Everything worked well. I wanted to watch a YouTube video when I was recording was completed. When I went on YouTube, there was no audio data.

    I use a HDMI from the HTPC to connect to my Pioneer VSX-50. While watching the TV show, the VSX-50 would show he was getting audio to 5.1 channels as it should. When I go on YouTube, all the sound elements would not pass, no audio signal is sent to the VSX-50.

    So I had a slight problem when it seems that Windows and Windows Media Center try to run the sound completely different from each other. And I went to my "manage Audio Devices" set up so that Windows would go the 5.1 audio channels (I think that until then he was established as stereo?). Once I did, I was able to get a YouTube sound very well. Then I went back to Windows Media Center. Media Center at the start, that's fine, but when I try to watch live TV or any recording, sound glitches (she repeats a second 1 loop repeatedly while video continues to play as if it's good), then he falls all together. After the sound glitch, my VSX-50 shows no audio signal is sent to the receiver, and I can't he come back! It really frustrates me!

    Any ideas?

  • Windows Homer Server Media Center not showing the new files I downloaded

    So I installed WHS2011 and thought that the library would easily work. It seems that the new files I put on the server are not get updated when I try and view them through the Media Center. Also when I serach for libraries on another device, it shows me two homeservers, one who say no files present and the other who has files (but does not update the index!). What is going on? (the file types are the same as the other files that are appearing fine)

    It is a basic installation, the only change I made is to move the directory to a new hard drive and update the WHS settings to point to the serverfolder updated on the new hard drive.

    I checked the settings on the media section of sharing control panel and it's on, I also checked on the dashboard and the media of Stentor is enabled.

    Why are my new files not updated in the index?

    Why two media servers on my other devices?

  • Media Center is planning a record but didn't and defer to a later date.

    Windows XP Media Center 2005 has been in place. 1st symptom was that it would block when calling my TV (usually just sitting on my TV).  Sometimes, he reached the following menu, but will not charge recorded TV or records on demand (just sitting with 'circle' symbol circling).  Discovered that sometimes if I end task through the Task Manager and restart and then not choose my TV but using the shortcut for Live TV I can sometimes get Live TV, sometimes it crashes with 'circle' symbol encircling.  Pointed out that memory almost full (indication AnVir Task Manager).

    After reboot, all usually (not always) is clear and that is running. with Media Center.  After reboot, I sometimes have a monitor that is not turn off as it is supposed to (hard drives are supposed to be off, but I haven't checked that)-requires a reset forever and at 10 min., working for the monitor, but still does not go on standby after 15 minutes.

    All the foregoing is symptomatic with Media Center (usually) works after the restart.  Media Center records sometimes and sometimes does not.  When it does not usually record it defers to a later date, if available, otherwise no recording until then is a guide and it as if by magic reappears, postponed.

    The second tuner (usually used for recording) records while TV Live is on but if scheduled recording is not as long as Media Center is running she sometimes record and this is sometimes not.

  • Windows 7 Media Center Live TV and recorded TV no sound.

    After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and get all the drivers updated, Windows 7 Media Center has no sound for TV or recorded TV, but sound works for all other programs, including just play music in media center.  Reading DVD and Bluray will similarly play with surround sound with HP DVD BD play, then it is certainly not an audio card/driver problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    An additional note: If you look at mixing devices, remember that you have multimedia running. If you do not, it may appear not as part of mixer. When I got a pronlem with no sound in WMC, but WMP worked (as well as my other apps), it turns out be the problem, but you would only see it when WMC is running.

    Thanks, my TV sound is is arrested without reason, but everything except the sound effects in media center worked. turned out that some how the mixer was gone the media center to 0 and left it like that.

    music media player plays even when he is selected in media center is not affected
