• limitation of number 1 to 158 channel - Windows Media Center

  When I try to add a channel with a number in the 400s to my list of TV channels, I get a message error "Invalid Channel number - enter a channel between 1 and 158 number."  What is a limitation of Windows Media Center or my HDTV card (which is a Combo NTSC/ATSC Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600)?

  If a limitation of Windows Media Center, is there a version that accesses higher number channels?  I could not find a version number for Windows Media Center when I checked the properties.  I am running Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with Service Pack 2.

  Thanks for any help you can provide.

• Cannot get remote windows media center to change the channel on Cisco DTA50! Help!

  During the TV signal together towards the top there is no option for "Cisco".  Then I select "Unlisted" and setting up tells me there is nothing that can be done and leave the whole upward. Media Center will learn the remote control IR codes because it does not pick up the DTA remote this process.   I was finally able to get a "tv signal" implemented by choosing comcast, although this isn't my cable tv company, , but still the wmc remote will not change channels on the DTA cisco. The wmc remote works fine and changes channels in the real of windows media center, but because the string must be changed on the real DTA there on some channel I entered on the DTA remote. Since I use record TV WMC, indicates on the guide, it's impossible, unless I can get the DISTANCE WMC, put in place to change the DTA channels!

  I need help!

  I was finally able to set up the remote after tweaking autour with IR receiver. I have even connected infrared diffuser!

  Check if your usb tuner is connected to a 3 USB and if so, put it on a usb port 2.
  then go to control panel - devices and printers - right click of the tuner and select troubleshooting. hope this helps, it worked for me!

• "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".

  Original title: when setting up Windows Media Center, I get the error message: "IR hardware not detected".

  I have an internal TV Tuner that has been installed by HP, when I bought recently a "computer build-your-own." (According to the control panel Device Manager, my tuner is a Win TV HVR 1290, made by Hauppauge). The computer came with Windows 7. While installing Windows Media Center, after setting up the TV Signal (on channel 3) I am able to see a video thumbnail on my computer screen. I am also able to change the channel using my remote control U-Verse (not the Windows remote control supplied with the computer). So far so good! I then hit next and get the following message: "Windows Media Center cannot detect the IR control cables, which are necessary to control the set-top box. Fixing parts IR that supports the IR control cables and then try again. IR HARDWARE NOT FOUND ".  After you receive this message, the installation procedure is completed. I called HP that support intalled the tuner. They had not the slightest idea what to do. I then called Hauppage customer (manufacturer of TV Tuner). They said that I need to plug one end of the IR Blaster cable that shipped with the computer in a slot in the back of my computer (they told me which slot). They said so to run the IR all the way cable to my cable box and the other end of the cable to my cable box of band. They said it was necessary to be able to use my Microsoft Remote to instruct the box to change channels (cable IR stuck on the box). I told her that I did not use the Microsoft Remote, I could change the channel with my U-verse remote (that I preferred to use anyway). He said that it took the cable on the band decoder in order to remove the error message and the installation of Windows Media Center. I then called U-Verse technical adapter who informed me of their set-top boxes (made by Cisco Systems) do not have the ability to receive signals IR IR Blaster cable (or any othe IR signal source). Microsoft is apparently not understand how U-Verse set-top boxes are designed to work and sells a product incompatible remote control/IR. My question is this: How do I set up Windows Media Center, in order to avoid getting the error message "IR hardware not detected" when you install Windows Media Center and just use the remote control of the U-Verse that I prefer to use in the first place. Once understand you this point, please send the information to HP, At & T U-Verse and others. Thank you.

  Ron, I have something for you!

  and for all the people who have this problem :)

  Hi, I had the time of IR not detected in Windows 7 Ultimate with a TV wonder 650 card and a box of digital adapter from Verizon for my PC... Go on the road to installation and after the Media Center channel search, choose manual configuration. Choose the aerial signal (I aso picked after this analog) l. After he sought more, he finds no channels.  Do not be afraid. Just accept it and go to the main settings page in the Mediacenter. If I remember correctly, then select TV Guide. Choose Add channel. I added the channel 3.

  Since my Verizon box has no IR for the computer, I added the channel 3 for the media Center and I change the channels with my Verizon remote. All my stations in the Verizon box go to Channel 3.

  The story here is so, for some reason any Windows detects that only my box channel signal TV and you must manually configure the media center on the air, then go to settings and add the channel you want in the guide.

  Why the guide TV control which channel you can tune is beyond me, but the scanner locks all channels, it does not detect. they must be added manually in the guide.

  My TV works and looks okay now.

  It actually works!

  the only problem is that it is not in HD

• Win 7 Media center must rebuild the library whenever he starts.

  I have a frustrating problem with Media Center in Windows 7.  He is a dedicated Media PC that is used primarily for music.  Whenever I have run media center and select the music option, remember all the information of the library for each category.  Since it loads in album it takes 5 to 10 min. to get information (albums, works of art, etc.). Then when I go to the Genre, he goes through the same process.  This is repeated whenever I select a new category.

  As long as the PC is on and information process was done once for each category, it works better.  Once the PC is turned off and restarted it must go through this process again.

  I used Media Center in XP for years and once he has sought and collected built the library is easy to use.  When the PC is started again click MC select music and all loads of information in a few seconds.  It seems that MC in win 7 is a step backward, unless there is something I am doing wrong.

  I downloaded the drivers for my sound card. display and motherboard.  All files are stored on the PC.  I had the problem on three separate PCs.  Although two of them, I went back to XP.  Before going back on the third, I want to see if there is something I can do wrong.

  I suggest that you try to reset the media library of WMP. Note firstly reset the library will make you lose all play counts and ratings too. Then, follow these steps:

  -Restart the PC.
  -Click Start, type services.msc in the search field and press ENTER. In Services, locate the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service . If its status is started , double-click the service, and then click stop .
  -Click Start, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft in the search field and press ENTER. This folder opens in Windows Explorer.
  -In this folder, rename the folder Media Player as Old Media Player . If you do not see the folder, then it is probably hidden. Set Explorer to view the hidden files and folders and show protected system files.
  -Launch WMP, your library will have been reset and will be rebuilt. Check if the problem persists. Tim Baets

• Xbox 360 Media Center Extender loses the connection to the media center to Windows 7 after change of router

  I have a Windows 7 Media Center box, and an Xbox 360 that I use as an Extender.  The two connections to the same wired router.  Everything worked fine until I went on my old router (failed) and put in a WNDR4300.   After the new router has been installed, I didn't have the Extender work then, deleted from the media Center and re - he added.  It worked but after I shut off/started the xbox, no link.  It is repetitive: I can make a new connection, but then it didn't reconnect after reboot of the xbox.

  Check/change:

  -J' changed to a static IP xbox

  -There is no part 3 a / v or a firewall on the support center

  -L' on the media center network adapter is 'home '.

  -The network card on the media center * fact * show the xbox 360

  -The event log after the xbox is restarted shows:

  event ID 538: installation of media center extender does not like the Extender has been detected on the network, but for the Extender upnp search failed (timed out after 20000ms)

  -How long before it, I have found that the service IS running upnp device host (and set to auto)

  -J' checked 4300 router wndr and UPnP is enabled (advertising set to 30 minutes)

  question, any ideas what configuration will solve this problem?

• Units (Windows 7) media center impossible compleate the next option every time that I "click" or choose it from the menu option within the center of Meduia

  Whenever I "click" or choose it from the options menu in the center of Meduia units (Windows 7) media center impossible compleate the next option.

  Whenever I select the option, "more", all I get is a splashbox that says simply, "" INVALID APPLICATION, cannot start. "" This option is located in the general Menu of the Media Center in the submenu 'tasks' .

  Thank you...

  Run the Setup again.

  Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

  Does that help?

  If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

  Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  Now reconfigure WMC again.

• The sports channel of Media Center would become obsolete?

  All I get is a bouncing yellow ball. Queensbury Fight Network and FOX Sports come individually fine in the software library. Never underestimate your own stupidity.

  Found the problem. Sports channel is registered to the

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Extensibility\Entry Points\ {{de027c68-eefa-4ecb-abca-2bd20ee899f0}]
  "URL"="http://sp.miomni.com/MCE_SP_FlashUI.html."

  This loading in IE just brings up the bouncing yellow ball. This is supposed to launch the MCML-BASED code for the http://sp.miomni.com/page, which has a URI of http://sp.miomni.com/HomePageLoader.aspx?Action=HomePagelaunch. Unfortunately, HomePageLoader.aspx shows HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Check the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

  Other parts of the sp.miomni.com appear as http://sp.miomni.com/MCE_SP_StartPage.html.

  It seems that I am the victim of a site redesign, and Media Center did not go to the new URL.

  Never underestimate your own stupidity.

• Media Center incorrectly determines the digital tuner on my Hauppauge 1850 as incompatible to the Canada for digital channels over-the-air via antennas

  I have a hauppauge tuner card 1850. I live in the Canada. If I've set up media center with the Canada as my position the digital tuner is not recognized as compatible in my area. If I place the library with my position defined in the United States. The digital tuner is recognized and works very well. The downside is that I can not guide ads for my actual surface when I set the location in media center in the United States.
