• Stopped Media Center Guide to update

  I have Windows XP Media Center Edition and some time around Christmas, the Media Center Guide stopped updating.  In turn, the recorded tv has stopped working.  It's been over 3 months later and it still does not work!  It all started when my computer updated.  It's updated several times since then and has still not solved the problem.  Help, please!

  Hello Jen_1918,

  I suggest that scan you SFC [SFC system] on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  a. click Start, click run, type cmd in the Open box and then click OK.

  b. at the command prompt, type sfc/scannow, and then press ENTER.

  Note: Could you prompt to insert the Windows XP CD.

  The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

  For more information, you can consult the following article:

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

• Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

  Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

  It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

  To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

  So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

  You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

  ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

  ... Thank you!

  Hello hank1111,

  You can see this thread, including the recent responses, the bottom of page 3 I think:

  Guide not updated Windows Media Center

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-Guide-not-updating/8721f207-A694-43CE-bf38-6105968af080

  I'm NOT an expert on these things, but so are ' twisted my arm, I'd suggest the possibility of you as I did to RW:

  «If you still have your Windows OS CD maybe you could try to remove & then reinstalling Windows Media Center entirely?...» I don't know there's a way to do it, but you do not want explicit instructions of any part/whatever ' one who knows what they have everything.  Also, if it is possible to do a total removal/uninstall & reinstall, - vs - a sort of "repair", I'd do the full thing, that simple "repair" can let WMC Guide EPG old and outdated files that could bring you a right of return to the same sorry state of affairs! »

  ... hank good luck!

• How can I get the Windows 7 Media Center guide to update the channel list.

  I noticed that lists of TV channels in Windows 7 Media Center guide are incomplete.  Not all available channels are appearing.  They disappeared for some time.  I checked the lists online of zapsit and they contain the missing strings.  The program zap2it descriptions are more precise than what appears in the Media Center guide.
  How can I get the added missing channels?
  Keep us on that.

• Windows Media Center Guide does not correct list shows

  I use a Vista Home Premium, the other day I reformatted my computer because I had problems with it. everything went well and media center opens and works very well. However, it used correctly list indicated in the guide, no matter what I do, and it worked properly before the reformat. The channels are listed correctly, if TBS is supposed to be on channel 2, according to the guide, is, therefore, when I go to channel 2 I am indeed on TBS station, BUT even if the show is listed as 'Home' in the guide, which is in read mode is like Sienfeld or some other show. Even when I record programs when it starts recording it will tell me 'Reecording House' and when you go to channel his record some other show is apparently on at that time.

  I tried completely relative to the implementation of the centre, tried to re-do ads guide by using 3 or 4 different postcodes, tried to look in my BIOS to see if my system clock is off, I tried looking for an updated driver but can't find the Media Center or don't know what it's called , and nothing has worked so far.

  What is the problem with my Media Center? Is an off clock that actually play the shows at the wrong time? I've been home 3 days now so please if you know EXACTLY what is wrong just to give me a bunch of things to try, and I'll try them

  Thank you

  Hi eps3742,

  This can happen if the media center guide downloads information guide incorrect.
  I suggest that you try to re installation guide and download the guide for registration again and check if it works.

  To set up the Guide listings

  To find your favorite programs more easily, you can configure your Guide lists to match your local service provider's guide listings.
  1. on the Start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide ads.
  2. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

  If you are prompted to select a TV provider and you do not know which one to select, control a recent draft Bill or statement from your TV service provider to find the appropriate information.

  The providers listed in Windows Media Center vary according to the Postal Code or ZIP. If the supplier subscribe is not listed for the ZIP or the Postal Code entered, try entering local codes find the appropriate Guide listings.
  
  Check out the link for more information below.
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-up-Guide-listings-for-use-in-Windows-Media-Center

  I would also say that you check if the time zone in windows is set correctly.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/set-the-clock

  If the previous step fails, then try to download the cumulative update of the Center media of the KB article below and check.

• LAN Connection stopped working on my computer running WIN XP MEDIA CENTER

  My LAN connection stopped working on my WIN XP MEDIA CENTER-based computer. I have access to the internet with optimum online. I have a router connected to my cable modem (US Robotics) wireless and desktop with the functioning of the wired connection stopped. My wireless connection on my laptop works very well on the same network. I first stop the modem, router, computer and re started at all. Modem Router 1 2nd, then on computer. Usually works, but not this time. Contacted optimum online and went through some procedures to correct the problem. Open cmd prompt, ping tried only to get 3 of any answers and 1 reply. Tried ipconfg / renew, did not work.  Firewall had closed during all of this. Service representative from optimum online said that he could see my modem was working but something like a firewall was blocking my computer access. Tried ipconfig/all and gave him the ip address he asked which showed, 169.254.80.196, he said that address will not work and we continued trying to renew the ip address, and we could achieve.

  Now I mention here that this problem occurred when I had a power surge while I was online. I rebooted and this is the problem that I was. I asked the rep optimal online what else could be the cause as a virus or damaged surge my LAN or OS and he said for me to try to get in touch with microsoft and perhapse they could help me more. I hope someone has an answer for me.

  Please... Help!

  Thank you

  Don Soutar

  Watch 169.254.x.x IP address only:

  • The connection to the LAN is configured to obtain an IP address automatically, and:
  • He cannot communicate with your router to get the address.

  The surge may have damaged the computer's Ethernet card.  If so, replacing it with a new adapter will fix the problem.

• Connection problems on Netflix in Media Center: "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. »

  Original title: Netflix in windows media center, connection problems

  I saw disorder connect to Netflix on windows media center. I am running windows vista x 64. When I select the icon of the login screen appears, but when I try to connect it comes up with the error message "there was a problem of signing. Make sure your internet connection is working and try again. "my internet connection is fine and I can connect to http://www.Netflix.com/, so this problem should make windows media center, but I can't understand it. I have updated windows and windows media center and I'm still having this problem. Thanks in advance for any advice.

  The most likely explanation is NetFlix changed something in their routine of authentication (i.e. SOAP structure or just a URL string, whatever) and who broke the Vista NetFlix WMC client. It did not affect the web interface of NetFlix because operated a NetFlix service, they were obviously aware of the change pending and adjusted their web client to use the new method.

  Customer WMC NetFlix in Windows 7 (which is a new product), was probably already coded to use the new method. The client in Vista has continued to work with the old method, until NetFlix finally stop this method. Microsoft, slow to react and to assign developers to fix the Vista NetFlix WMC client missed the deadline and Vista users have been in the dark for a while.

  That's pretty standard for web services that cross corporate barriers. Particularly involving slow mega-body like Microsoft. A company change a routine and the other has to play catch-up. Communication is often difficult between the divisions within a company, between companies, it is often non-existent.

  The level of prissy whining in this thread was good for a laugh however. Those threatening to cancel NetFlix: rolleyes: your access was still working on their Web site. You were not without service, just, without the convenience of WMC. People grumble at Microsoft... anyone know if Microsoft was still knowledgeable of * when * NetFlix was going to turn off the old authentication? If they were told the night before (or any) "Hey let's turn off the old authentication routine" what kind of response do you expect? How long is it since the problem began, 28 days? It's actually a pretty fast for an element relatively low priority. Or it could just be that NetFlix reactivated their old methods of authentication as a temporary solution to this problem (they share a part in creation) until Microsoft can respond formally with an update.

  Now if Microsoft was duly informed advanced evolution of the service, still dragged feet (quite possible) I don't give them no slack. But at the end of the day, it is always a matter of low priority. It's fixed now, be happy until the next time that Netflix change their authentication routine.

• 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.
