• Error: "Tuner not found" with Windows Media Center

  Original title: someone at - there a solution to this problem of Tuner not found with Windows Media Center? I tried for several years to find an answer to this embarrassing problem without success.

  I did just about everything, including a restoration of the complete system without success. It would be nice to be able to use my Windows Media Center to watch live TV and record programs I would like to see later.

  There is a great thread to

  with people have reported this problem with this tuner.
   
  Unfortunately, it looks like the only solution people have found is to replace the
  Tuner with another brand.
   
  I don't know if it's the hardware failure or something else, but looking at this
  wire, if it was ME, I cut my losses and replace the tuner.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting the question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  According to the description, you need to know more about the Tv tuner and tuner Radio (FM) for Windows Media Center.

  To listen to the FM radio in Media Center, you will need a tuner FM connected to or installed on your computer and an antenna connected to the tuner to receive a signal. FM tuners are very similar to TV tuners in fact, many TV tuner cards have a built in FM tuner.

• Installation window Media Center with Avermedia A850 DMB-TH/DVB-T

  Hi all

  I am located in Australia and I have a USB TV tuner which can be used for DVB - T or DMB - TH digital system. I tested it on the player of AverMedia TV tuner, which worked well and I can't all channels using an antenna from the wall outlet. However, it doesn't seem to work when I went to the Media Center window with the same exact configuration (taking wall antenna).

  I tried to use it on Windows Vista and 7, which gave me very different results.

  --------------------------

  Vista: When I click on "Setup TV signal" it recognizes the signal as "Antenna", but he was not able to scan any guide or service.

  --------------------------

  7: Interestingly, it recognizes the USB TV Tuner, but to halfway through the installer it says 'You are about to leave the media center window to start the installation process for Tuner AVerMedia digital (DMB - TH)' and the rest of the facility would be in Chinese, where he asks me which City Chinese I am etc. and cause recognized as a bad country and DMB - TH no channels are available.

  --------------------------

  Could I please get a setting for help to the top of the window Media Center?

  Initially, I thought it was a problem with the driver, but it seems not to be because she works for the Avermedia program.

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  Thank you for you answer.

  I have already contacted Avermedia and they got back to me with a solution. However, they notified the problem with the interface in Chinese was the software design of the library window.

  Also, I think that DMB - TH is just how Windows Media Center recognized as, because it is a hybrid TV tuner so when I click on the driver he recognizes as DMB-TH/DVB-T so its fine.

  In any case, he now works correctly. It's a hybrid tuner, they asked me to install a program that allows me to switch between DVB - T and DMB - TH. So far it works well :)

  Thanks for your help.

• Cannot connect to AT & T UVERSE installation to media center windows 7

  Try to set up ATA & T UVerse box configuration of Windows 7 media Center. Setup is not going thru. This isn't beyond saying IR, display of learning... Any help

  Hello, ChaCol

  What happens on the screen of infrared learning? If it does not recognize the remote?

  Some users have reported success learn the remote control codes as follows:

  On the learning IR screen, hold the remote control to the IR receiver. Keep the number, raise the remote to the receiver until it says "Release to continue button" then it away from the IR receiver. Hold down the key.

  Make a minimum of two times until she is ready for the next button. If it takes more than 4 times (try an entry and confirm a try), then make sure that the remote control is not in the line of site of the receiver until the button is pressed for a second, and that when blocked to the receiver, it is no more than three inches from him.

• IR questions - installation TV Media Center with Hauppauge 2250

  I recently installed a Hauppauge 2250 (http://www.hauppauge.com/site/products/data_hvr2250.html) to my new Dell Studio Slim with Vista 32.

  In the process of setting up the TV, trying to set up a connection my Set Top Box (Motorola MPC 3200) MCE configuration using a receiver/IR blaster to change the channel.  The process is going well until the programming of the controller ECM RC1534522/00 (http://www.remotecontrol.philips.com/index.cfm?id=1336) model supplied with the Hauppauge 2250 pack to work with the receiver IR/blaster.

  When the installation process of TV asks to see if I would like MCE to automatically find my controller settings or to manually program the channels, I tried the auto settings and it does not recognize my remote.  I then try the manual programming and it goes through the process without errors.

  I was then sent to the next step.  The channel decoder is on can be clearly seen in the preview area.  It asks me to use my keyboard or my MCE Remote control, enter a known string that I will recognize.  Using my remote MCE, I try to change the channel and there is no response from my Set Top Box.  I try to use the keyboard to enter a channel and there is no response from my Set Top Box.  The IR Blaster is however furiously blinking which means he is grateful that I am him asking to send a signal and sending it in turn one. My Set Top Box has no problem, receive orders from its own controller which makes me believe that it is not a problem of receiver Set Top Box.  If there is a problem with the programming of the MCE Remote control that is not detected during programming?

  I have tried many remedies listed on thegreenbutton.com forums and forums for the response from microsoft, including:
  (a) place the IR blaster on the IR on the Set Top Box receiver (and confirming that the location is correct with the help of a digital camera).
  (b) uninstall drivers current and update the Hauppauge drivers available in order to ensure that the software is up-to-date.
  (c) to ensure to choose the input parameters just for my remote when asked if he must enter to be pushed to change the channel (the Set Top Box does not need to repel the entry, nor has she a button on the remote control).

  There are all the other remedies I can try?  Are there any drivers or software that I can download to help with this problem?

  Hi Socaltrojangirl,

  Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

  There could be a compatibility issue between the decoder and remote control device.

  I suggest that you contact the device manufacturer for compatibility.

• How to avoid turning off Windows 8 when I install Windows Media Center?

  I purchased, downloaded, installed and activated Windows 8 Pro on my laptop. Then I asked for and received the key to Microsoft's free product for the installation of Windows Media Center.  I used the key and installed Windows Media Center.

  My laptop restarts automatically after the installation of Windows Media Center, but my Windows 8 Pro has been is no longer enabled. When I tried to use the product key of Windows 8 again to reactivate Windows 8, I got a message saying that this product key had already been used by another computer.

  I thought that maybe I had done something wrong, then just to make sure, I repeated the procedure as a whole: I reinstalled and reactivated Windows 8 Pro. I checked under "System" to ensure it has been activated and it was.

  Then I used the free Microsoft product key once again to set up Windows Media Center for the second time. When this facility was completed, and the computer restarted, Windows 8 Pro is no longer enabled. And for the second time, when I tried to activate it using the product key Windows 8 Pro, I got a message saying that this key has already been used by another computer.

  So my question is: how install and activate Windows 8 Pro and then install Windows Media Center without disabling Windows 8?

  I suffer from the same problem you describe and even followed the same steps that you did.  After having my windows disable the first time after installing windows media center, I did the installation 'clear all' and he always gave me the message that my key was in use after installation of Media Center.  One thing I noticed, the last five digits of the key it lists on the page to turn on, show my key of windows instead of my windows media 8 pro key.  It almost seems like my windows media center key is somehow get confused with my windows 8 pro key.

• Tuner problems with vista Media Center

  So my tuner for windows media center came down. Windows provides that it is a problem of compatibility. Can't seem to find the driver for ViXS PureTV - U1 4882 anywhere, at least one that will install properly have had this problem before. After doing a restore, it seemed to solve the problem, however, this time above restoration doesn't seem to work properly either. So if someone can lead me to a work, compatible version of the driver for vista or have a solution I can use for this problem I would be very happy.

  Problem well solved... For all those who may have the same problem (and I know that my initial description of it was poorly written) tuner not installed via Windows Media Center using Vista 64-bit. Also brings up a PCI device newly diagnosed with an inability to install the driver suitable for the start. The problem has been solved for me by cracking open the case by removing then replacing the tuner in the same slot. To restart it I guest is no longer with the newly found hardware and the tuner seems to have fixed itself.

• After installing K2502898 on xp media center, the computer won't save increased demand for disk space with 100 GB of backup hard disk - what to do?

  My xp media center has worked very well for years, but since installing K2502898 on March 9, 2011, although there is spare 50 GB on drive C and spare 50 GB on drive D, record space fell to less than 30 minutes, and although I can increase the amount of space available to save , on the two disks and click 'Save', it is not 'save' even on reset, and I can't work out what to do. I tried to re-creation of the installation of Media Center, but when the wizard reaches the last window to close and save I get 'critical error' and it hangs. It was fine on March 8, 2011 before the automatic updates have been installed.

  Hi Kimberly MacDonald,.

  1. What is the full error message that you receive?

  I suggest that you reconfigure the TV signal in the media center of Windows and check if it works.

  one) to configure the tuner for use with Windows Media Center, on the Start screen, navigate to tasks.

  (b) click settings, click TV, and then click Set Up TV Signal.

  (c) follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

• 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?
