  You have problems using the Internet TV in Media Center or another snap-in an online service?

  If the attempt to add-in, reinstall the Internet TV application: go to start, Control Panel, programs, uninstall a program, select Internet TV for Windows Media Center and choose uninstall.

  Then, open Media Center and re-install the Internet TV application.

  In addition, make sure your video drivers are up to date.

• HP media center pc m7277c CPU units

  Anyone know if I can get a dual core processor in this desktop PC.  The vehicle currently has a Pentium 830 D

  Hello:

  The best you can get is the Pentium D 840 in your model according to the specifications of the motherboard.

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c00379616

  I look at the BIOS to BIOS release notes and they declare that a firmware update has been added to support new processors.

  I would interpret which means you can probably install a Pentium D 945, but this would probably be the max.

  I saw your post on the HARD drive.

  I can't say for sure, but I don't see why your PC can't run a 1 TB hard drive.

• "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

  Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

  I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

  Ron, I have something for you!

  and for all the people who have this problem :)

  Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

  Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

  The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

  Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

  My TV works and looks okay now.

  It actually works!

  the only problem is that it is not in HD

  but there is something

  
  

• Windows xp Media Center 2005 edition crashes while downloading the tv guide

  Installation of Media center TV guide comes to where I choose my provider and click Next the program freezes and the only way out is via the Task Manager. Any ideas? Ive updated XP and media center edition 2005 until units there is no more updates or extensions to download.

  I was wrong, I've been experimenting and finally succeeded. It has nothing to do with nividia.

  Remove the Microsoft .NET Framework 4. There is also a client, delete that one too.

  Anyway, I tried to put it back recently, and for me it was ok.

  I suggest that you first try the update of windows. If this does not work, uninstall the foregoing.

  Problem was more for me after that, I really believe that it will be for you too.

  Good luck!

• limitation of number 1 to 158 channel - Windows Media Center

  When I try to add a channel with a number in the 400s to my list of TV channels, I get a message error "Invalid Channel number - enter a channel between 1 and 158 number."  What is a limitation of Windows Media Center or my HDTV card (which is a Combo NTSC/ATSC Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600)?

  If a limitation of Windows Media Center, is there a version that accesses higher number channels?  I could not find a version number for Windows Media Center when I checked the properties.  I am running Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with Service Pack 2.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

• ATI Theater 650 Pro digital tuner not detected / installation in Media Center

  I have Vista Ultimate 64 with SP2 and an ATI Theater 650 Pro with the latest driver installed ATI. Media Center does not detect and configure the digital tuner, only analog (tuner works very well - get all analog and digital - channels in Win7 RC). Other tuners were detected drink they will not set up due to missing or inconsistent signals connected to them.

The tuner has attempted without ever addressing the digital and cable HDTV signals. It worked the first time, in Win 7 RC.

• Update of Windows Media Center electronic Program Guide only to July 22, 2015.

I manually download updated guide to day and it confirms that the download was successful, but the guide has information up to the part of July 22. No information is passed to 20:00 on 22 July.

  This is a temporary problem or should there be a fix for Windows Update?

• Why is there no online media tab in my Windows Media Center?

  I had never used Windows Media Center until I saw a video of a person using a console Xbox 360 as an Extender so I got interested and downloaded the Media Center and added my Xbox as an Extender. Then I noticed on several videos other users with a "Online media" tab right on the 'Sports' tab and above the 'Tasks' tab However, this is not the case on my Windows Media Center on my PC or my Xbox 360. I did a lot of research trying to find a solution and made a "Auto fix" download as well as in numerous trouble shooting research and reinstall nothing doesn't. I noticed a few other forums on this subject, but they all just claim that it does not appear on their Xbox and so the question never gets answered. The problem is not with the Xbox, but it's with the Media Center because the way in which it does not appear on the PC either. I use Windows 7 also. Help, please!
