• Windows Media Center will not download updates to the Guide. Netflix and Internet TV options do not appear on the menu screen.

  I tried to configure Media Center for Internet TV and Netflix. I have Setup several times and attempted to manually download the updates. So far, neither option appeared on the menu screen and I repeatedly received an error message when you try to download updates to the guide that directs me to check the update log. I find the event log, and that's what he said:

  * 10:44:58 - test of internet connection. 10:45:01 - established connection. 10:45:02 - directory of recovery. 10:45:03 - directory of recovery. 10:45:04 - directory of recovery. 10:45:05 - Directory of recovery.

  * 10:45:05 - cannot retrieve the directory (error: invalid security token.)

  * 10:45:05 - SportsSchedule the package is not available. 10:45:05 - SportsV2 the package is not available. 10:45:05 - ClientUpdate the package is not available. 10:45:05 - NetTV package is not available. 10:45:05 - MCESpotlight the package is not available. 10:45:05 - MCEClientUX the package is not available. 10:45:05 - broadband package is not available. 10:45:06 - errors during the last update. 10:45:06 - retries at 2009-10-25 04:54:37.

  Also, when I tried to contact support by email and has been asked to enter my product ID number to verify the activation, I was told it was not valid. I repeatedly entered it exactly as stated on the page of the system. I also activated the software certified on the same page of the system.

  Any help would be appreciated because I would really like to be able to use these features.

  Thank you.

  I had this same problem. That's what I did which appeared to fix (not sure if that fix or if it sets just itself). I ran the mcupdate.exe file located in the C:\windows\ehome\ directory (or some windows player is on). Yet once again, I'm not sure if this corrects the problem, or if it randomly determines.

• Media Center will not register a particular channel, but all other records very well

  Hello, I can not Media Center to record a particular channel unless I am diverted listed steps below.  I get all the live channels.

  -the channel, I can't save is 30.1 in Memphis, TN (subsidiary CW) channel

  -My tuner: AVerMedia AVerMedia Duet - PCTV Tuner (A188 - white box) Interface PCI-Express x 1 MTVHDDUWB

  While playing with it, I discovered that I can click to save while watching channel 30, then after that Media Center loses signal, follow these steps:

  Reach

  Settings/TV/TV Signal / Scan for multiple channels

  So, I have to empty the scanned channels and re-scan.

  Then it will start to record the channel 30.1.

  Help, please!  Why Media Center will not record 30.1 without all this trouble?

  Thank you

  Kris

  Go to settings-guide-add missing channels. Type in right channel # (like 8.1). Then put in the right frequency for the over-the-air station (35 in my case). You can find this info here (http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx) if necessary. Now, you will have 2 channels in guide for 8.1 lists. Right-click on the new guide that lists you just create and go change the channel-edit lists. Change the source from the list to the channel that you have problems with. Next pass parameter-signal digital tv signal strength and a Coachman television that did not properly record to remove the Guide channel. This will fix your problem.

• Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?

  Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

  OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

  But I still can't read the DVD.

  After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

  This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

  What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
  If it is it may be a disk problem.

But in MCE when you have a cable box, you will also need an approved Microsoft IR blaster to control the cable box. If you n? not have this part, you will get the IR hardware not found error.

• PlayReady in Media Center will not update.

  PlayReady in Media Center will not update.  The message is "PlayReady update was incomplete.  "You can watch or save protected content until the update is successful.  All attempts to return the same error.  Netflix also only a black screen shows when you watch a movie.  Live TV works except HBO which is protected against copying.  How can I fix?

  Hi William,.

  Thanks for posting your query in the Microsoft Community Forums.

  From the problem description, I understand that you have problems with the PlayReady Media Center update on Windows 8 computers. I will certainly help you in this regard.

  Try these methods and see if it makes a difference.

  Method 1
  Loan will not update if the date is wrong. I suggest you to check if the system date and time is correct.

  Method 2
  Temporarily disable your firewall settings and check if you are able to update.
  Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  
  Method 3

  Open Windows "Services" via the Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
  With Media Center open and show "the PlayReady update was incomplete. Do you want to retry? "Go to the 'Services' Panel you just opened and scroll all the way up to"Services Windows Media Center Receiver", double-click it, then click on"Stop ".

  Navigate to the folder ReadyPlay HIDDEN (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\PlayReady), and then delete the mspr.hds file.

  Return to the OPEN & CONTINUES, Media Center and click 'Yes' and 'Next' to the question of the PlayReady update. He should immediately zip past and say update complete & you can watch and record the protected against copying.

  Carry out these methods and let us know if you need more assistance. I'll be happy to help you.

• Windows 7 Media Center will not download the new guide listings

  Hello

  I am really frustrated. WMC will not download the new guide listings and I tried all the patches that are supposed to be that I found in this forum. I also tried the system restore, which did not fix the problem. Obviously the problem is not affected by the restore program.

  I was able to determine that there is some kind of corruption of the WMC files that Windows 7 can not solve (according to the event log).

  I'm a bit exasperated at the tenacity of this problem. Y at - it a reliable fix or I need to reinstall Windows 7?

  Thank you
