• Switching providers using Windows Media Center

  I've been using Windows Media Center as a DVR with Verizon FiOS for a couple years now, but I'm going to switch service providers soon to Optimum to save money. WMC will recognize that there is a new cablecard immediately and ask me to put up? In addition, regarding the records currently, they continue to operate even after the switch?

  1. you will need to re-run the TV installation for the EPG again and you will need to get
  the new cablecard paired with your tuner.
   
  2. I had replaced dying standards from the same provider without loss of the
  ability to display existing records. I hope that you will have no problems.

• 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:

  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!

  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.

• 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.

• Unable to sync music using Windows Media Center and Windows Media Player will not open

  Media Center will not sync music!

  I recently opened Media Center and I had no music in the library. I have constantly played music from the library so I didn't know what is happening. When I try installing the library again once it tells me that a necessary component for Windows Media Center is not available. I have not changed or downloaded something different. I went to check if Windows media Player is the multimedia file sharing. The message I get from that is, basically, that something is missing.  Now my Windows Media Player is not even opened. I wonder if my Zune Player (80 GB) has nothing to do with the problem. I charge my player when this has happened, but I do this all the time so I am at a loss. I went to the page "problem reports and Solution." It is the symbol of the Media Center window and says that the problem is caused by Windows. The solution is to update to windows; which I am fully updated. I tried to restore the system to an earlier date, but that doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss to know what being of any help would be appreciated.

  As a side note video playback, TV and photos also works very well in Media Center.

• Low Audio when using Windows Media Center

  Hello world.  I have a question.  When I play a movie DVD or CD or anything audio Windows Media Center on Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit Edition.  The Audio output is always half of what it is in other programs.

  For example.  When I play music with windows media player, I let my volume of the speaker to about 2.5.  If I play a DVD movie on my computer, I put the volume on the speakers until about 5 # in order to hear the movie.  Then when I return to windows media player volume is very strong (of course because I turned it upward).

  I checked all the audio properties (on the PC under windows), but I can't seem to get the audio level as well as the rest of the Windows Media Center computer?

  No one knows what it wrong here?

  Thank you

  Hi karozans,

  Thanks for posting answers.microsoft.com

  Make sure the appropriate selections are made in the DVD settings and codecs are correct for the file that is being read...

  This is a lot of information on Windows Media Center, and the second link is information about the codecs.

  • http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/default.mspx

  http://www.Microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/FAQ/codec.mspx

  There are many different CODECS out there and search online, using your favorite search engine like www.live.com to "VISTA CODEC PACKS" can find the codec that you need to improve the sound on the videos that are currently playing.  When the right codec also be determine some codec download from a reliable source as the codecs are not created by Microsoft and can be obtained by a third party.

  Please let us know if there is more need information on this issue, or if you do not download the correct codec for the system and the problem persists, please post this information in the forum as well.

  I downloaded the software you need to watch your netflix on Windows Media Center. Once I'm inside the Windows Media Center, I click on Netflix, my user name and password for netflix pops up, then I think that enter to go... I get an error message that says "Please update the computer clock you and or update your timezone. '. Both are already up to date, but I get this error message.

  Check your time zone. If all goes well, then it's a question with netflix. You can contact the support of netflix.

• I have problems setting up Windows Media Center TV Tuner to the Canada.

  I live in the Canada. I have Windows 7. I tried to set up my TV Tuner (for cable-vision, not Internet TV) in the 'Windows Media Center', but there is no "Canada" on the regional list to download my local channels. How do I pass this roadblock?

  Because your computer is 5 years old I guess that TV Tuner came not from IBM. However if that were the case IBM ccontact. If she has not contacted the manufacturer of the TV Tuner. The driver name must match the name of the TV Tuner. You can try to download a driver with your computer. Make sure that your Tuner is connected to your computer. Go to configuration panel, Device Manager, expand "Sound video and game Contolllers" Double click on your Tuner, select the driver tab, click on get updated driver, follow the prompts.

  I have an Aver Media Combo G2 Media Center TV tuner card. Running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Everything worked fine and then for some reason any Windows Media was unable to download the TV program guide.  I thought I would try reinstalling the TV signal. Setup stopped when you try to download the latest updates. Some research has indicated that I had to manually run "mcupdate", I did. It passed me this hang up, but then I complete Setup with the above message.

  Now, I have no live TV function.

• Using WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER WITH YOUR KEYBOARD, BUT WAS so SLOW!

  I'm under full and 32-bit Windows Vista Edition without service pack, and it's so SLOW!

  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 xbox problem

  I'm running on windows vista 64 bit, but I have a problem when connect my xbox 360 Media Center with my pc, they detect very well, but when they come to connect it disconnects the network of xbox and my pc... Help

  Hi Jonathan Thewlis

  
  Do you get any error messages when you try to connect?

  I suggest you temporarily disable the firewall, and check if the reconfiguration of the configuration solves the problem. If you are able to communicate properly with disabled firewall, then you must configure the firewall properly connect.

   

  Don't forget to enable the firewall after troubleshooting gets completed that your computer will be at risk.

• Windows Media Center problem

  I have ths same issues as the other 3 people. The first time I tried to use Windows Media Center it sabotaged several of my office and of programs on the start menu icons. Now, whenever I try to use these programs, the Media center load. I tried everything I know to do without success.

  Hello Aquarius_500,

  1 are all the icons on your computer turned into Media center or just opens with Media Center?

  I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.

  Method 1:

  It seems to me that file on your computer is corrupted. You can try to do a restore of the system on your computer when it was working fine.

  a. Click Start, type system restore in the search box and then in the list click on the system restore program.

  b. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.

  (c) in the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.

  d. in the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.

  e. click Finish.

  You can check the link for more information below:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/system-restore-frequently-asked-questions

  Method 2:

  You can try to manually change the file association. Here is a link you can follow and which will give you information about this:

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/change-which-programs-Windows-uses-by-default

  Method 3:

  Try to create a new user account and check if you have the same problem. This can be caused by a corrupted user profile.

  To create a new user profile, follow these steps:

  Note: To create a new profile, you must first create a new user account. When the account is created, a profile will also be created.

  a. open user accounts by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking user accounts and parental controls, and then clicking user accounts.

  b. click on manage another account. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  c. click on create a new account.

  d. type the name you want to assign to the user account, click an account type, and then click on create an account.

  Note: Do not give the username for the user account.

• Windows Media Center using only not to Clear QAM channels, at least some of them.

  So check it... I already updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 as soon as it became available last year and had been using Windows Media Center on my HP m8330f to record live shows with a digital antenna.  I decided, spotty reception because, as I plug in my TV Tuner directly through my cable (without decoder) and Clear QAM channels this mode of access.  After noticing that my old TV Tuner was missing several channels (not shown 6) I chose to add missing channels, as shown in several forum posts.  I added successfully most of the available channels except the two I wanted most, NBC and ABC.  Since my TV Tuner was quite old (double ViXS ban, card simple tuner), I decided to upgrade to the Hauppauge 2250 encryption that could be a cause for the missing channels... and more, it is a ban on double, double tuner the card.  Alas, the Hauppauge worked in much the same way that its predecessor and the lack of NBC (4.1) and ABC (2.1) are not found... even after attempting to add channels.  All that is visible is a "Service is unavailable" message.

  I am a customer of Time Warner Cable in New York and have had no problem accessing these (Clear QAM) channels on my' computer', the LG 32LH40 thanks its tuner internal.  Moreover, I was able to access these same channels via the same TV Tuner using WinTV v7 and Beyond TV.  This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the Windows Media Center software.

  I am a big fan of Windows Media Center and love how convenient it is (apart from my current dilemma) and still want to use it as my main media look at a software but I'm torn on this issue.  I don't know if you have experienced this problem before, but I am quite stunned, especially since I feel like I've exhausted all channels (which goes as far to add the channels first as a modulation QAM 64 and 256).  Does anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas would be extremely useful.

  Thank you!

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for your help!  I thought both on the channel number, but I could not find a network ads everywhere about my service area (I had not yet known on that SiliconDust website but I just took a shot and that's exactly what I needed...) (Thank you!) ; or the information that I found were incorrect.  I ended up working all last night.

  After many rescan with WinTV and Beyond TV, I could finally figure what channel were virtual and who were not and add missing channels accordingly.  Remappe MC my 104,2 at 4.2 but not my 104.1 makes my TV as well as WinTV.  Beyond TV didn't display the number of virtual channel while parsing, so I was able to get the numbers of QAM channels how.  He was just working backwards.  However, MC had yet 104.1 (my 4.1 missing such as mentioned in my previous post) in his 'detected chains"(strangely)... so I added it.

  Thank you for this Web site again!
