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

  Electronic Program Guide (EPG of my Windows 7 Media Center PC) ceased to be updated since July 15, 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?

  Thank you!

  Same thing I had, but this fixed it for me.  Run the installation of media center and set up the new TV signal.  Takes a little everything and some channels is different, but the guide whole is back.  Not sure if I need to reprogram my recordings again.  I hope this works for everyone!

• Windows Media Center: guide program does not update

  Hello

  This is my first post here.

  I hope someone can help with Windows Media Center (7) electronic programs guide. For a few weeks now, it did not update properly. We receive updates for the local HD channels only - local standard-def channels or regular cable channels.

  I tried various methods to get MCUPDATE. EXE update completely the EPG, but nothing has worked. The most "promising" indication (regarding an indication as to what happens), we had, is that, sometimes, we get the error message "cannot retrieve updates (error: HeadendID [eight-digit number] is not valid.)»

  I tried to contact Zap2It and they referred me to Microsoft, this is how I found myself here. The procedure for reporting a problem to the EPG is not exactly crystalline, so please bear with me if I did something wrong. (Zap2It gave me a link to https://connect.microsoft.com/site1145, but when I click on "the comments link on the left" as indicated on the page, it just brings back me to the same page).

  If it helps to have this information, we are on Comcast and using a CableCARD in a Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCI - E tuner. We can watch all the channels that we subscribe to, and we can save them manually, but there is no metadata program and we do not have records of the series on cable. Please let me know what I need to do to report this to someone who is able to solve the problem.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Barb,

  I tried this (evolution of postal codes) last night, one of many new things I've done. I chose the closest city that was not ours and got a little familiar set of guides to the choice. One of them selected and downloaded - but of course the channels does not match.

  We finally had success when I risked to re-run the installation of TV program; My fear was that we might have to re-pair the CableCARD everywhere again, which is a major pain as some cable company RSC have never even heard of him, and even fewer know what to do about this. So go through configuring TV was as a measure of last resort for me.

  But I've learned that we can only accept the existing information of CableCARD in WMC and go on its merry way. We have completed the installation process, enter the correct zip code once again - and this time we got not only all the right-hand lanes, but also a value of 12 days of listings!

  So I'll add new run TV installation for our 'Protocol' in case we ever run into this issue once again. There is great relief in our House!

• Failure of Windows 7 Media Center Electronic Program Guide download

  I have two Windows Media Center computers, what can I use to record TV shows that both units could not update the EPG.  The info Guide indicates that she stopped at 20:00 on April 8, 2013 the Pacific time zone.  I tried to download several times without success on computers.  Walked through the configuration for the Windows Media Center thought something could have been wrong with it but no luck there either.  All other functions of computers works, IE... internet access, television and recording etc... Just TV ads all say "No Data available".

  What's the correct data on zap2it.com? have you tried a nearby zipcode? You can
  report to the http://connect.microsoft.com/site1145 - you may need to login / create

• Video error stream TV to a Media Center extender (XBOX 360)

  Hello

  I have a PC that I use to record TV, which is accessible by several XBOX 360 through Media center.

  This configuration was working perfectly until a few days ago. At the same time, all 3 Xbox has ceased to be able to view the recorded TV programs, or view the Live TV feed. The Media center PC was the victim of a power cut at the time, but seems to work fine.

  1 TV live view on media Center PC (CMCP) - works correctly

  2. play Recorded TV on MCPC - works

  3. the screen live TV on xbox - video error

  4. play Recorded TV on xbox - video error

  5 video game file imported into Media center via Photos and video Media Center on the Xbox article - works

  6 connect the Xbox to another PC, which has also the Media Center on it and play recorded TV program - works

  So far I have tried:

  1 restart both MCPC and Xbox.

  2 remove the Media Center of the Xbox and reconnect to it.

  3. a new analysis of the signal to re - acquire all channels,

  4 using the Windows update to update the video card drivers.

  I am reasonably certain that the problem lies in the CMCP, but I'm not sure how to do this by how solve this problem. I have a large amount of data on the machine, so reinstalling is not really an option. AFAIK, new programs recording occurs correctly.

  All the drivers, applications, and the windows themselves are fully updated.   The error on the machine logs show no relevant error.  The operating system is Windows Vista Ultimate, 64-bit, service pack 2.  Here is a link to the power out of the msinfo32.exe execution on the server.

  Yes, it is possible to other files or even your user profile have been corrupted.
  Setting up a new user profile would exclude corruption in your existing username
  View profile.
   
   
  If the above fails, the a repair of the operating system installation should not disturb recorded
  TV.

• XP Media Center - TV made a break of 3/4 of a second, play 3/4 second - uninterrupted

  SYMPTOMS:
  Watch TV on Media Center - video (no audio) pauses for 3/4 of a second, 3/4 of a second plays, pauses for 3/4 second - continuous loop. Low 5th screen is green (a rectangle at the bottom extending on both sides).

  If I play previously recorded TV in Media Center (as of when this was not the case), the record plays perfectly. I recorded a 1/2 hour television show
  with Media Center, reduced to a minimum (so it has not tried to view it), and I had 1/2 hour of this continuous with the Green interruption when I played the
  record. I can play DVDs perfectly with Media Center.

  If I use the pinnacles TV software, I can watch the TV OK. (But I don't use that - I love Media Center - the program guide, the search program, saving options,)
  and the fact the the infrared diffuser Windows automatically changes channels on DirecTV area.)

  WHAT CHANGED: I got a new card mother and graphics card. (My old card mother w/graphic edge fries a second chip memory in 4 months - so he got canned.)
  Motherboard: Intel Desktop Board DG41RQ. 2.7Ghz dual Core Intel; w/2 GB of ram.
  Graphic card: EVGA GeForce 9500 GT (PCI) (GPU Nvidia w/1 GB memory)
  There is no yellow? /!'s in Device Manager.

  I always use the Pinnacle PCTV HD PCI - TV tuner card. The DirecTV cable goes to him.

  O/s: Windows Media Center (2005) w/Update Rollup 2. Window XP Home SP3 w/all updates.

  The Microsoft Windows XP Video Decoder Checkup Utility reports that CyberLink is the preferred decoder. No new decoders are on the list after
  installation of the software of the graphics card.

  WHAT I TRIED: uninstall/reinstall - Media Center Update Rollup 2, the drivers of graphics, Pinnacle and PowerDVD 8 pilots (the
  Video decoder CyberLink - I checked that it was out of the list in the utility before reinstalling). Changing the video settings in Windows and on the Nvidia Control Panel. Hours and hours of Googling.

  I solved this problem by using the S-video output of the DirecTV box (for the TV Pinnacle card) instead of the coaxial output.  It does not seem logical, as the Pinnacle TV playback software worked fine when the coaxial cable has been used, but Media Center doesn't have, and Media Center worked fine before with one coax input with the other motherboard w/integrated graphics card.  Thus the output of the Pinnacle card inside the computer must differ with the coaxial - quite different input Media Center fails with the new (and better) motherboard and card graphics - but not quite different than the Pinnacle TV player also fails.  I guess that Media Center is more sensitive to the part of the signal being screwed up.  Image quality was very good with the coaxial input (on Pinnacle TV player and Media Center with old graphics card w / integrated motherboard).  Googling for the difference between coaxial and S-video, S-video will give quality & eacute - somewhere between negligible and much better.  I do not see a difference - but if I had them side to side I could.  In any case, I can watch TV now - so I'm done with that.

  "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".

  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
  Back up your files

• Choppy video playback in Windows Media Center (Windows 7) WTV

  I recently experienced a video playback jerky with windows media center.  Sometimes the recorded TV (WTV format) play very well for about 2-3 minutes until the video playback is very jerky (probably about 5 to 10 frames per second instead of the usual 30-60 fps).  The audio is not again normally.  Windows Movie maker also plays choppy video (Windows Media Player seems to work very well).  The main menu of Windows Media Center, itself becomes generally restless slow when I'm scrolling autour options, even when there is no video game in the background.  Video streaming on the Internet and DVD seems to play fine on Windows Media Center, and I can even stream HD video without problem.  I also know that this isn't a problem receiving the TV tuner since I test with the video recorded previously.  I bought my computer in June 2009 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7 a few months later.  Everything worked perfectly well until recently.

  I tried to update my video card drivers, reallocation of Windows Media Center to a task of "high priority" to improve performance, the RAM Cache to improve the performance, my graphics card setting to low quality setting to have superior performance to compensation.  I even tried to reinstall Windows Media Center, reinstall Windows Media Player and the restoration of my entire computer to a State a few months in the past where the problem was not intervened.  The memory usage seems OK too (I have 6 GB).  Basically, I don't think that the issue is performance related.  I'm guessing that there is some little conflict, pilot program, codec, etc., which is originally the video playback to go bad after a few minutes.  Any thoughts?
