The Windows Media Center Guide data - channels Incorrect after that provider changes Lineup
8/1, Cox left HD and SD of The BigTen Network 263/1263 channels for their new channels 109/1109 in the Fairfax area (22307). Zap2it again (24 days later) on their old channels.
WMC is based exclusively on Zap2it lists of channel in order to settle and watch the channels for CableCard card systems, indicating that there is no way to change/add channels manually. For this reason, we have no way to view the right channels until Zap2it updates the range.
I tried to contact Zap2it directly, but got no response. It is just 2 channels I know immediately, there are more than likely others also. If Zap2it change their lineups accordingly, is a way to manually manipulate the data updates and Zap2it block? If this isn't the case, Microsoft do anything to this topic?
Hello Brad,
Thanks for the reply and we update on the State of the question. I'm sorry for the delay in response. I understand that this question is related to a bad configuration parameter between Media Center and Zap2it.
Microsoft works with suppliers of different channel to make sure that Windows Media Center is running, but in rare scenarios in one or the other setting may not work as expected.

Nothing worked and I'm pulling my hair out. I use WMC with an HDHomeRun and a map of Time Warner cable. This facility worked well for more than a year before installing this update. The machine is a Dell XPS 8300 running windows 7 SP1. I'm unable to watch all channels protected by DRM and I lost all my legally registered content. It is a disaster and cost me 30 hours and counting. Anyone have any ideas?

Live TV with Windows Media Center, where RF channels are different from that of the guide because of the distance TV translators (relay Stations)
Cannot change the guide to allow the use ot (translators) television relay stations where the RF TV channel is different from the current station. For example, Station POLO6N is 9 RF channel in Eugene, OR, but here on the coast, it is the 35 RF channel. Zip code for our region apparently points to the station itself RF channel and the number of 1092 is shown and dimmed so that it cannot be changed. How the inputs of channel can be modified to adapt to this situation? Here on the coast, we're out of range (mountains, etc.) of the station itself.
BH
I have apparently discovered a way to watch and record live TV using Windows Media Center where the geographical area is served by the translators of the TV and the.
If you configure the TV channels using only NOT the guide and using Add missing channels feature to add and configure the channels you use before you download the guide, you can set the actual RF frequencies of TV translators serving your area. In my case, I had to add the letters TD after the call signs of stations so that when I load the guide, he be to point to the current channel.
After having added all channels and before loading guide, check the reception using the function designed to help you in the pointing of your antenna. Then load the guide and your channel configuration is retained and stored in a file pref.xml which apparently replaces the channels.xml file created by the loading guide.
Unfortunately, detailed documentation on the product missing apparently (help files I found only State to follow the guests), or I didn't find it. In all cases, you can use Windows Media Center to watch and record live TV if you live in an area served by the translators/TV relay stations with different channels channels over-the-aor real real TV stations.
If you find that you need to change a channel, use channel add rather than the function Edit channels, clear the X in the box and start over with this channel.

Hey, I tried to set up the console cheats for oblivion, but it does not work I followed the steps on how to stop the windows media center Receiver service, but even after that I stopped it it won't let me put up the cheat console. no idea what I should try next. ?
Hi daking9002,
To bring up the cheat console into oblivion, you will need to unplug the sensor remotely from the PC. Once it has been disconnected, the oblivion cheat console will come just as it would on any other PC.
I also tried equipping my number 1 access key. It works very well now, I just press 1 and the console opens. To close simply press ESC twice and press 1 once the UN-equip the ring.
You can also download: " http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=13133 ."

His 668 (Discovery HD) channel, and my program guide is for Seattle, Comcast King County South (digital). I spoke with Comcast, with Ceton Corp (manufacturing of my digital cable tuner card) and with Zap2it (info guide provider program for WMC). All of them confirm what a) 668 is in my registration, b) 668 is tunable my card, and c) 668 announces are included in the current program guide data from Zap2it. My data to guide program is also completely updated according to WMC. Zap2it has suggested that I use this site to submit the question to Microsoft:

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-CenterI 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

Running Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I rent a cable box so I can get some programs at the 3-digit level. When I've set up my Windows Media Center (WMC), WMC learn successfully the cable box remote 1 - channel upward. My problem is the next step and change the channel using the Windows Media Center remote control or keyboard. My keyboard or the WMC remote will change the channel.
I got Windows Media Center to re - learn the cable box remote control twice, which is always successful, but again once, when the time comes to use the Windows Media Center remote control or my keyboard to change the channel, the channel does not change.
Could someone please help me with this? Thank you in advance.
Hey kansascitykid,
If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box and Media Center is unable to change the channel, or it changes channels incorrectly, check the following:
· The infrared diffuser is connected to your remote control receiver. If the infrared diffuser is not connected, Media Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.
· The infrared diffuser is well positioned at the front of the set - top box. If you are having trouble placing the IR blaster on the set - top box correctly, try to use a flashlight to locate the signal on the set - top box receiver.
· IR control codes are configured correctly. If constantly changing channels, control IR codes may not have been configured correctly during the installation of TV signal. To reconfigure your TV signal, on the Windows Media Center start screen, highlight toTasks, clickSettings, click on TV, then clickSet up the TV Signal.
- Center cannot send a signal to the set-top box to change a channel.

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!

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! »

Why the windows media center opens all my programs?
I was working on my computer when all of a sudden, I was asked what I wanted to use to open a program. I chose 'Windows Media Center', and suddenly most of my desktop icons changed to icons in Media Center. Now, anytime I want to open a program like a web browser or game, it redirects me to Windows Media Center. Is it possible to reset these programs so that it does not happen? I'm not very good with computers, so a method of dumbed-down would really help.

Original title: Windows Media Center
Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.
And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help
Try this for me:
Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask
If this does not work, try this:
1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.
2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.
4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)
5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).
6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.
7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.
