Order a decoder DTA50 via Windows Media Center with an infrared transmitter/receiver Catherine-IR01

Recently I had to get a DTA50 to continue to get the channels should I get, so I can watch TV through my WinTV TV tuner. The problem is that the decoder is not connected directly to the computer, so I can't control it like this. I have a Catherine-IR01 transceiver and an IR control cable, which is connected to the transceiver. Windows Media Center, says it can't detect the IR hardware. Can someone tell what I am doing wrong?

I am unable to apply the change to the inf, I get an error saying that I can't make it writable. I have this play as an administrator, but can not modify or replace the .inf files.

Edit: Zero I could get around a bit by saving the input.inf file in a separate folder by copying and replacing in the inf folder. However, there is no file irbus.inf to edit, neither is it a medctroc.inf file.
Edit 2: OK, problem cleared up. It turns out that the problem was that it was misunderstanding my WinTV card double tuner as having two ties from boxes, and as such only found a single piece of hardware IR operation.

  • Running and Xbox 360 via Windows Media Center

    Hello, I am a new student of college, and because my funds are limited I am using my Xbox 360 via my PC monitor. When I bought my computer, I got also a HDTV Tuner with composite video options. Through their software, I could connect my xbox and see it, but I was wondering if there was a way I could do it through Windows Media Center or something similar. I saw that there is a cable that goes from the Xbox to VGA, but I think that there will be problems with the sound (where I have the red/white audio cables?). Not sure if there is a converter or not, but like I said before, funds are limited. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to hear from someone as soon as possible.

    Hey TechTyler,

    Since you have only one monitor and want to connect your PC and X - Box for the same monitor, I suggest that you try to find a separator that would help you get out of the XBox and the PC. You can use one of those to get the result on the same monitor of 2 devices. Who would use a VGA cable to connect 2 devices. You will be able to switch between your PC and the X - Box.You can try to search separator you can use to connect two monitors. I hope this information helps.

    However, we at microsoft do not recommend or suggest one of these, you will need to use them at your own risk.

    Thank you

  • Installation window Media Center with Avermedia A850 DMB-TH/DVB-T

    Hi all

    I am located in Australia and I have a USB TV tuner which can be used for DVB - T or DMB - TH digital system. I tested it on the player of AverMedia TV tuner, which worked well and I can't all channels using an antenna from the wall outlet. However, it doesn't seem to work when I went to the Media Center window with the same exact configuration (taking wall antenna).

    I tried to use it on Windows Vista and 7, which gave me very different results.

    --------------------------

    Vista: When I click on "Setup TV signal" it recognizes the signal as "Antenna", but he was not able to scan any guide or service.

    --------------------------

    7: Interestingly, it recognizes the USB TV Tuner, but to halfway through the installer it says 'You are about to leave the media center window to start the installation process for Tuner AVerMedia digital (DMB - TH)' and the rest of the facility would be in Chinese, where he asks me which City Chinese I am etc. and cause recognized as a bad country and DMB - TH no channels are available.

    --------------------------

    Could I please get a setting for help to the top of the window Media Center?

    Initially, I thought it was a problem with the driver, but it seems not to be because she works for the Avermedia program.

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Thank you for you answer.

    I have already contacted Avermedia and they got back to me with a solution. However, they notified the problem with the interface in Chinese was the software design of the library window.

    Also, I think that DMB - TH is just how Windows Media Center recognized as, because it is a hybrid TV tuner so when I click on the driver he recognizes as DMB-TH/DVB-T so its fine.

    In any case, he now works correctly. It's a hybrid tuner, they asked me to install a program that allows me to switch between DVB - T and DMB - TH. So far it works well :)

    Thanks for your help.

  • How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

    I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

    Hello
     
     
    1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
    2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?

    I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
    To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
    b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
     
    For more information, refer to the article below.

    Can you help me run SP2 on my computer?

    Hi again.  Question: what would these updates have been?  If you don't remember, open Windows Update, click on "see the installed updates" and more recently installed report with updates.

    As I already said (maybe bad), Windows Update not immediately offers you Service Pack 1.  There are quite a few Windows updates that must be installed before WU will offer you the service pack.
    There is also some (including some audio drivers Realtek) drivers that are known to cause problems with the installation of SP1; Therefore, WU do offer you the update until these drivers are updated.

    Here is an MS article explaining why (and bugs):
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/948343/en-us

    I would like to repeat that the three updates, I mentioned in my first post are prerequisites for SP1.  Theyneed to be installed first and in the order displayed.
    Again, check your Windows Update history for these three KB numbers.  If you don't see one or several of them installed, you can find with a quick Google search.  ;)

    Kind regards

  • Windows Media Center has not worked since the storm (Windows Vista)

    I have Windows Vista with Windows Media Center (which I LOVE!) through this huge dish on our House, but we had a big thunderstorm last week. Since then, I have been unable to get most of the channels to watch TV via Windows Media Center. I know that it is not a problem with my antenna because if I choose to watch TV directly through the air and not through Windows Media Center, I receive channels without problem. Any help would be great! (PS, I know almost NOTHING re: computers, so you'll really have to "dummy down" your answers to me). Thank you!

    Just a guess here, I don't have a tuner currently in my computer. But is there an option in media center to perform a channel SCAN. On my TV, I had a similar problem and all I had to do was rescan and VIOLA all my channels were back!

    Good luck!

  • 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!

    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!

  • HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF: Some HP Windows Media Center buttons on the remote control does not

    I have a desktop PC HP Compaq 8000 Elite SFF that I use as a home theater PC.  I'm under Windows Media Center with 2 cards tuner and antennae of the OTA.

    With this configuration, I use a HP Remote WMC.  The model No. inside the cover of the remote control battery is TSGH-IR01.  The issue I'm having with the remote control that is stationary and move forward and "back" button do nothing when you press.  The light at the top of the remote control flashes when you press those buttons, so I don't think that the buttons themselves infrared are failing.  All the other buttons on the remote work fine.

    I wonder if it is a problem of programming/software and if so, what should I do to solve this problem.   It's annoying to not be able to stop a recorded program is playing when you press the stop button, but having to use a mouse to do it instead.   Any help that can be given will be very appreciated!

    For anyone having this problem, I discovered the cause after reading a post on the forums of thegreenbutton.tv.  An application in Chrome or any browser Chrome (in my case, the Slimjet browser) is the culprit.

    For me, it was the Plex app.  He was diverting the judgment and move forward and back buttons on my remote HP WMC.  As soon as I disabled the application of Plex, the buttons started working.   Never would have guessed that this was the problem!  Hope this helps someone else who might have the same problem.  Ah, tech.  Isn't beautiful?

  • Windows Media Center is not found

    I tried to open windows media center for a while. It happens that I can't find anywhere in my computer. I have a windows vista and I was hoping that someone could tell me how to install windows Media Center on my computer?

    Have you tried clicking on start and type "windows media center" ("with spaces, to the exclusion of" ")?

    If so try typing ehshell in the start menu.

    Or type run in the start menu and press ENTER.
    then in the run box, type ehshell.exe and press enter

    THIS ONE, I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WILL WORK
    If it still does not go to this location: C:\Windows\ehome and ehshell open

    If it works click right ehshell and put your mouse on send to and click Desktop.  This will create a shortcut on your desktop that you can rename media center
