Media Center of the Signal course to record live tv & regular VISTA

RE: Windows Media Center signal loss

I started getting errors while recording in Windows Media Center, the program hangs and fails to save and I get the error message of signal loss.

I checked my connections USB, card TV tuner, cable connection, and they are very good.  I use Wintv 7 now and record very well. I have WINTV7.1 for the HAUPPAUGE WINTV HVR - 850 external USB connected to the tv by similar cable card. I searched various sites of Mircrosoft support and not been able to find a solution or explanation satisfatory.

However I have my search I found possible solutions. These solutions involve Windows Media Center for Windows 7 and I want to know if they will work for VISTA sp2.  The Hauppauge site displays links for Windows 7.

"Fixed in this update

On a computer that is running Windows 7, you use Windows Media Center with a TV tuner analog Watch analog TV live. In this case, you receive messages from overlay low intermittent flow in Windows Media Center.

Windows Media Center monitor the inflow of over-the-air television. Without this follow-up, the bit rate very low fall when the analog input of the TV is low or does not have a signal. This causes a black screen or a static screen. With this follow-up, Windows Media Center displays a message of overlay to indicate a possible problem with the inflow during the analog input of the TV is low or does not have a signal.

However, the method that is used to monitor the inflow on analog signals is too sensitive. This may cause a false alarm of a low flow.

Note Several regions have switched over to digital broadcasting. There are hardware configurations in digital programs to convert the digital signal into an analog signal. "These configurations can include set-top boxes and digital-analog-switch-boxes".

I believe that Micorsoft hotfix support kb 981130 will solve my problem with loss of signal and gel of the records.   But the solution is designed for windows 7 and there is no information on the page for Windows Vista.

Summation:

Q 1 the solutions above Ko 98130 will work for Windows Vista Media Center?

Q 2 is there a solution similar to 981130 available KB?

Are Q 3 there other possible solutions for the loss of signal in Windows Media Center in Vista?

Thanks for your help, I hope you can answer quickly.

Hello, Richard

Do you still have the same problem after performing the steps that was you on the list?

If so, you can try to run a SFC scan to make sure that the system files are intact: How to use the tool File Checker system to troubleshoot missing or corrupted system files on Windows Vista or Windows 7

The only other option I can think is that the signal is in fact weak and therefore, the signal is lost.

Assuming that the signal strength is good and the System File Checker was not working, the next step that I have to recommend would be to back up your files on an external and reinstall Windows:

Install, reinstall, or uninstall Windows

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • Download pirated Windows XP Media Center with the genuine key?

    Hi all

    First of all, I apologize if the thread, I created is in the wrong place (Technet forums), but I got enough good help from technet on a Windows 7 problem, that I had. I've recently updated to the Genuine Windows XP Media Center to a genuine Windows 7 Professional.

    I own a HP pavilion laptop came pre-loaded with XP MC (media center). Now, HP does not record with the laptop, instead, there is a recovery partition which can be transferred to DVD to create additional space on the HARD drive, I did. Unfortunately my DVD player no longer works, and I can not restore my XP to factory settings (new facility) because the HP restore software only reads from the DVD.

    This XP has become bloated over time, and I want to do a new installation.

    It is, I could download a pirated copy of the media center XP SP3 and use my real serial number and / or additional information to activate it?

    Thank you

    No, because your key is specific to an HP facility.
    Replace your DVD player or buy an external hard drive

  • Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

    I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

    Hi nwills,

    Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

    a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

    b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

    c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • Window Media Center! 10 GB for TV-record 30 minutes! Go Microsoft!

    As I said in the title, I usually record TV shows so I can watch them after school, then all of a sudden one day I discovered my hard drive was full... I tried to find the problem and found out it was the "recorded tv" folder which is sh * ting my storage. I take a look at the properties and shocks, each tv 30mins record contains 10 GB or more! Go! It is simply not true! No idea how I change it or compress the vid or just convert a .wtv for any folder that's NOT going to s * ck my hard drive! PLEASE...

    For ISDN (the Japan Broadcasting System), I don't know.  But brushing up on the specs, I can see why the size of your file is so huge - the bit rate is, well, pretty high (but, this picture has got to be so pretty!)  With a rate of 51 MB/s per channel, it'll do for some large files in a hurry.
    Here in the United States, ATSC (our over-the-air signal level) has a total ~19.4Mb/s rate (amount of signals of a station - up to 5 programs of the station).  Therefore, smaller file sizes.  (Cable is as a result, most of the time.)

    Why MC just write the bitstream (remember: the signal is already digital, and in a format that it understands) to disc and gives no possibility (at least here) of re - encode a smaller size?  Because it would take considerable processing power to do and would get more heavy you want to compress, or tuners more your are running.
    Is it possible to put MC to compress the signal?  For you, I don't know (but I guess that the answer will be 'no', just as it is here for digital signals.)

    For now, the best advice I can think of for you to get a more concrete answer would be to re - ask the thegreenbutton.com wire (it is recommended that post in the Windows 7 folder in the world).  There are some (not too many, I think; but a few) users to your part of the world who might be able to shed light on it a little more for you.

    Oh, and: I'm sorry for the price of HARD drive.  That sucks.  :(

  • When you use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 DVD have not given chapter.

    After finally finding many questions I have my Xbox Media Extender and running upward and only this question left.

    I'm ripping my DVD to single file .vob she seems to like and plays very well, but it is only with the file movie and nothing else in the record.  How the XBOX sees it, the bed and he plays very well.  However I have no control outside the break and if I restart it takes over the job.

    Now if I rip my DVD with the .bup .ifo files in this folder the XBOX instantly he shoots in the list of the DVD and it will not play.

    When I use Windows Media Center on my PC it preforms even when the film is in the folder.  Then when I add bup and ifo data I can still play, but he has all data in the chapter that I need.  Shows all the chapters, allows me to jump as I please.

    How can I get my XBOX to behave like my PC?  I have to remove these 4 files in/out of the folder to see pop in and out of my list of XBOX.  How can I get the XBOX to validate data, so my movies actually have chapters and ignore the controls?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello, wilsman00

    As mentioned, by changing the VOB files, the data in the chapter are probably damaged. This can be confirmed by putting in a retail DVD in the drive and play directly from the DVD.

    Anyone know how to fix this? Or otherwise, I just want to use my computer to watch TV on, and if I can do this other method other than Windows Media Center free I am happy to do.
