• Windows Media Center are more updates of program guide information

  Hello all-

  I have Windows Media Center with a Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner card, running Windows 7 (64-bit), all applied MS Updates to works very well until recently, when arrested WMC download information guide program. There is no relevant event in the Windows event log and the system event log. I tried to force them to download a update (via task ==>-online TV-Online Guide => get latest Guide that lists the parameters.) It recognizes the request with a dialog box "Guide lists. Downloadng... you know... ' After a minute or so, he responds with "the Guide download error. the guide could not be downloaded. "For more information, right-click on the WMC system tray icon and open the log of update of WMC.
  When I try to follow his instructions, the only choices displayed by right-clicking on the icon in the tray of WMC are open WMC, refresh the data now, cancel update, turn on automatic updates. There is no option to view the log of update. Can someone tell me how to see the journal, or where it is stored on the disk?
  I also tried a few searches and the suggested solutions, but nothing seems to help.
  Any ideas out there?
  Thanks in advance!

• When you try to set up my Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center, I get this error message: "TV Setup has encountered a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. »

  I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

  screen A___
  WMC has discovered the following:
  Analog cable (1 Tuner)

  Other tuners or TV signals were detected but will not be configured.
  (Show details)

  Is this Setup correct and complete?
  o Yes, configure TV with these results
  o no, show more options
  ________________
  When I click on show details, it is said:

  screen B___

  If a TV signal should be present, check your signal for following tuners connections and try again:
  Hauppauge WinTV 418 BDA Tuner
  ________________
  There is another question, because he does not list my correct tv tuner. I click, so I'm now on A screen again.

  When I click Yes, set up TV with these results,-(for the analog option Cable(1 tuner), I select my cable service is, and then click Next.) It then displays a confirmation of analog cable and my cable provider, I click Next again and the error message "installation TV met with a serious problem. Click Finish to exit, and then try again. If this problem persists, restart Windows Media Center or the computer. "appears.

  I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

  I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

  -Doug

  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.

• Can I watch a show that is currently recording in Windows Media Center since the beginning of this show?

  I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows.  Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)

  Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center?  The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.

  I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)

  Thank you

  Hello

  Im sure that you can watch TV recordings during live TV recording, but you can't watch a program during its course of recording.

• 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.

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

  I'm starting to think it's a matter of windows.   Anyone have any ideas?

  !!!!! URGENT! ***************HELP!!!!! ******************URGENT!!!!!!!!!!! Help! ******************URGENT***********************************!!!!!!!

  First of all, there is not - and has never been - anywhere to download a legal copy of any version of Windows XP...

  Second, Windows XP Media Center Edition was available as a pre-installed OEM operating system (for example, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  If you wanted a computer with MCE, you should have bought one with MCE.  In the unlikely case where your second-hand computer comes from an OEM and it came originally with MCE (look at the sticker on the box), it is possible, at a distance, the same manufacturer can provide the installation media necessary for a price.

  If the video card in the computer is able to drive the "big flat screen", then you have nothing else (assuming that the computer meets other material).  See http://www.ehow.com/info_8204776_needed-netflix-streaming-work.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_7561774_stream-netflix.html

  Sometimes, Windows Media Center would not be able to download Guide data. In general, this happens for the following reasons:

  (a) your computer is not connected to the Internet or there is a problem with your Internet settings.

  (b) If your computer connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection, make sure that the connection is properly configured. For more information about setting up a dial-up connection for use in Windows Media Center, see solving problems with an Internet connection.

  (c) the Guide Server is not available or is temporarily out of service. If the Guide Setup was already complete, Windows Media Center will try to download it again daily.

  (d) the Guide service provider didn't Guide your location information.

• 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.

• Blue screen when you perform the search for live TV in Windows Media Center on the new Lenovo A700

  I just got my new Lenovo IdeaCenter A700 yesterday and have been busy setting up.  The computer is equipped with a built-in TV Tuner and I tried to put in place the TV on it so I could watch TV on my computer.  I have RCN for cable and a cable TV that gets first plugged into the decoder and then I plug the cable to the TV - so I just plugged this cable on my computer instead of the TV.

  I used the following Web site to set up using Windows Media Center - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/9166/learning-windows-7-setup-live-tv-in-windows-media-center/.  After that I put in my zip code he sought the power of the signal or something and then I got a blue screen.  To restart the computer the information below has been MS. error message This happened to me twice.

  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.

  Please let me know if you need more information.

  Anyway, now it shows a black screen and no sound for all channels, but that is a different problem... and I'll look in to that.

  Thanks for your help.
