Records of Vista Media Center starts and stops at the wrong time

I use Windows Vista Home Premium, SP1 and that you may have noticed that when I schedule recordings for some a particular channel, Media Center starts 2 minutes beforehand and ends 2 minutes in advance.  This affects only shows record from my local affiliate Fox - all other shows for other strings start and stop at the appropriate time.

I checked the system clock with the start times of the shows and both are correct.  In fact, I saw one day Media Center started to record for a show that did not begin until 08:00 at 19:58 (according to the system time).  I had my TV on at the same time and was able to verify that the program in question had not yet begun, so the flow of the internet was sychned with the dissemination of local transmission.

It's very frustrating because I miss the end of some shows and cannot always extend registration ends because I'm ordering another channel, the next hour.

I have the same problem with the FOX network...

-1 make sure your clock automaticly sets in the internet and update once by pressing the link (which makes that he can see the time server)...

There are two ways you can go with this:

-If your departure time is correct, then just go to the Planner and choose the program (or series) you are trying to install, select the recording settings (or adjustment of series) or advanced setting... There is an option to "stop recording" 1 min, 2 min, 3 min, 5 min, until 2 hours after the recording is finished... I have mine set to 5 minutes after, and she fixed it...

-If the starting time is disabled (as mine is), to enter ERM and manuver to tasks > settings > TV > recorder > recorder defaults

This is where you define all the flaws of the recorder, find "Start when possible" and "Stop when possible", 4 min value (max allows MCE)... Save and exit, restart the machine too...

You should be good to go...

PS, I just read the last sentence in your post, you must only have a tv tuner card in your machine (I have two, and that's the reason why I bought two), so you can always have a problem when recording two different channels (back to back on the same channel should work okay).

  • Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

    I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

    Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

    I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

    What is Microsoft doing about this?

    Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

    Hello Nikki Locke,

  • Windows Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel

    Original title: Windows Vista Media Center

    Since the beginning of June whenever I try to change the channel on the TV tuner in Media Center it crashes. I tried to do a system restore but restore never worked on my count. Problem event name: APPCRASH. Application name: EHShell.exe I'm looking for suggestions that might solve this problem.

    1] updated TV Tuner card driver. Visit the manufacturer's Web site and download and install the latest driver.

    [2] delete the file mediaCenterDataStore.db. By default, this file is located in the following location:
    %SystemDrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.DB

    Delete: -.

    Start > run > type in %SYSTEMDRIVE%\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\mediaCenterDataStore.db > OK.

    Locate mediaCenterDataStore.db and right-click on it, select Delete.

    Restart the Media Center.

  • VI does not work properly when run at each full speed or highlight the run mode, but running at full speed after the starting and stopping of the execution mode games

    Start labview, so fix that will probably teach me a lot. Looked and saw a lot of posts of things only work in games of the run mode, but nothing like this. I have attached the relevant real-time and FPGA VI.

    The code is supposed to read a motor encoder. When ran regularly, it works somehow. It will update the counter of how sporadic all few seconds a fraction of a second. When ran in climax run mode, it appears really up-to-date. After that matches the execution mode is canceled, it works perfectly. Can someone find out what could be the problem?

    Ended up staring at me. I am sure that the problem was that if there is only one element in the FIFO when it checks first, it eliminates the two elements when the FIFO filled.

    Fixed it by adding a test for the number of items before and reading only if there are enough items to read. Attached file sets for reference.

    I have still no idea why he was running after delivery to highlight in the first place. We will never know. Bonus points for the answer = P

  • Guest operating systems take a VERY long time to start and stop to the bottom/connection

    I have a virtual VSphere version 4.1.0 of the client machine, I have a few top server, when I try to start or to stop them, they can take at least half an hour to do this.

    I really want to get this resolved, because it's way too long for an operating system to start.

    The server I want to talk to is a Windows 2008 64 Bit operating system.

    All the tips are greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Then replace the HARD drive.

    My guess is that it's completely unrelated to performance or whatever it is. It's probably a script to shutdown/startup/login or performed during these, making it a matter of the GuestOS. Maybe something trivial like nameserver names insoluble / defective (responses), waiting times of the ICF block or something similar.

    If the system running normal operations are fine, there is no ESX(I) - reason why he should be 'slow' for those own time only. Check the disk latency/throughput/Ops ARE / s when he knows.

  • Windows Media Center starts by itself

    Windows Media Center starts by itself all the time. If I close the lid on my laptop, it starts. I open my laptop at other times and it will be opened. I do not use the media center. Is how to disable it? I am running Windows Vista.

    Hello world!

    I just wanted to clear the confusion.
    Marilyn's response suggests to remove WMC start-up, that the OP has not mentioned in their first post. Given that the OP has not returned more than 7 days, it is assumed the following steps solved the problem and is then marked as answer.
    Since many of you have tried these steps and they did not help, I've unmarked at the station.
    Regarding a solution, many of you are looking for a way to simply disable Windows Media Center entirely. I must point out that if you are using Windows 7 you can quickly and easily disable this feature using 'Windows turn features on or off'. But being given that most (if not all) of you are using Vista, I'm going to press.
    There are many ways to skin this cat:
    Has. Disable the Services Windows Media Center
    1. Click Start, type services.msc and pressenter
    2. Find Windows Media Center Extender Service and double click it
    3. On the general tab, change the Startup Type to disabled , and then click OK to close this window
    4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the Windows Media Center Receiver Service,Windows Media Center Scheduler Service , andWindows Media Center Service Launcher
    5. Close the window Services and reboot
    B. Disable Windows Media Center via Group Policy (Note: is not an option for users of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium)
    1. Click Start, type gpedit.msc , and then press enter
    2. Under Computer Configuration, navigate to Administrative Templates > Windows components > Windows Media Center
    3. In the right pane, double-click the policy (do not allow Windows Media Center to run)
    4. Select active (sounds weird but this will indeed prevent WMC to run), and then clickOKto close this window
    5. Close the local Group Policy Editor , and then restart
    C. Disable Windows Media Center via the registry
    1. Click Start, type regedit and press enter
    2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > policies > Microsoft
    3. Right click on Microsoft and choose new >key
    4. Name the WindowsMediaCenter key, and then press enter
    5. Right click on the key that you just created and choose new > DWORD (32-bit) Value
    6. Name the MediaCenter DWORD, and then press enter two times
    7. Change the value to hexadecimal 1 and press OK
    8. Close the registry editor and then restart
    You really need to perform one of the patches above for Windows Media Center must be disabled.
    Let me know if the above help solves your problem!

    Hello everyone

    I have a HP Windows Vista Media Center m8000n and 6 GB of RAM

    I want to know if I could update my graphics card and I keep waching TV via my computer.  I became in a gamer and I want to upgrade my computer. If it exists, which is the best graphic card?

    Also, I would like to know if I need to change the computer power supply.

    Thank you in advance.

    P.S. I need an answer as soon as possible

  • iOS 10 times to start and stop the music messed up

    I'm running a SE 64 GB iPhone with iOS 10. Many songs from my iTunes library has some moments of power, but after update, they are all mixed. Songs don't start or stop when they're supposed to, or they're going to start and stop at a random time, which is annoying. The same problem was in the beta, causing me to backup on iOS 9. I assumed that this bug would be fixed in the final version. All the solutions in addition to remove and re - download my library?

    Hello Carnage1215,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Community Support from Apple. I understand your music has had some problems and I want to help him. By the sounds of things that your songs start may be delayed or in the middle of the piece, is that correct?

    Before you make too much trouble shooting, it's a good idea to make a backup of your iPhone If you don't have it already. If you do not know how to save your phone from this article will guide you in the process: the backup of your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    Once you have made a backup, I would recommend to reset all the settings on your iPhone. This will ensure that all old data of a version of iOS parameter are removed and reset default. This removes all data and applications, photos or contacts, but it removes all of your preferences for the Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, do not disturb, Notifications, general, sounds, contact ID, brightness & paper painted and privacy, then you may need to define these things upwards after this reset.

    Do this please go to settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

    If you always use the same behavior after you restart your phone, please inform the community. We are all here to help.
    Best regards.

  • Start and stop a loop automatically subtracted at each iteration

    Hello

    I know that there are some topics about this, but I couldn't find any solution, especially because I'm using version 7.1 and cannot open files from new version.

    My problem is the following:

    I need to load a tank of 6 to 10 in the morning, every day for 3 days. The process should start and stop automatically, which means, no funds to start or stop. Start and stop conditions come from time.

    I start with a big loop of 72 iterations, which is 72 hours.

    The tank must start at level 6, whenever he starts.

    After the departure, 1 unit must be subtracted to each iteration. That means, that the tank is level 10, at 06:00 07:00 level 9 and so on. At the end of the day, at 10:00 the fill level is equal to 2.

    The next day, the process must start again and the tank must start at level 6.

    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Florian.

    Thank you for your message. That solved this problem, but in fact my VI did not work as I wanted.

  • Why my computer does not delay when I try to watch the video again? It's a constant start and stop and buffering?

    I get a lot of golf maaterials and lesson over the internet.  It became a real pain and a problem for me to keep up with instructions.  When I received instruction to internet and start to play the video it winds and winds and play them for a few seconds then start and stop throughout the presentation.  What can I do to fix this problem?

    If several computers are using the internet at the same time, it might slow down the video stream on a computer (laptop or desktop).

    Or your internet connection is simply not enough fast to stream the videos you want to watch. There are several different speeds for DSL, so the speed increase may help.

  • How to stop the EN icon appear in Windows 7 Pro to start and stop

    I have a language loaded on my computer.  Whenever the computer starts and stops at the icon IN displayed on the screen.  I looked in the obvious places like Start > Control Panel > clock, language and region, for a possible solution for this turn.  The language toolbar is turned off and is not reduced to a minimum or displayed anywhere.

    How can I prevent the EN icon appears?

    Thanks Omnicore you snapped.

    I don't know if that has an effect, but under keyboards, I got two installed?  The keyboard for the United States and the other for the United Kingdom.  I deleted the one for US as I am in England, applies the settings and rebooted the system.  The stop screen does not display the icon of EN, but on the home screen icon EN reappeared.

    So I applied the settings of copy on the administration tab, and after the system restarts, it erased the EN icon on hospitality and the stop of the screens.
