• Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

  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!

  Hello hank1111,

  You can see this thread, including the recent responses, the bottom of page 3 I think:

  Guide not updated Windows Media Center

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-Guide-not-updating/8721f207-A694-43CE-bf38-6105968af080

  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! »

• My program guide lists refuse to update in Windows Media Center on Windows 7

  Original title - Windows Media Center

  Can someone tell me please how to open a bug with Microsoft for Windows Media Center?  My program guide lists refuse to update and I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

  Thank you.

  My problem started on his return from holiday. During my absence, there was a storm and a loss of power. All my computers and the router stop. When I rebooted, Windows wanted to install updates. I believe that these updates began the problem where my TV Guide schedule was empty.

  Efforts to download the latest guide ads has not solved the problem. This was the case even if WMC has indicated that the download was successful.  Finally, I chose the TASKS menu/settings/TV/TV signal/Scan for multiple channels. I think scanning for more channels was the last choice. It could have been 'Intensity of the aerial for digital TV Signal'

  Anyway, the WMC scanned for all available channels, I get through a digital TV antenna and the USB receiver. Once the process is complete, the calendar is also worked.

  Go figure. I'm still working through other non - WMC created the Windows Update issues.

  I hope this helps.

• Windows Media Center: guide program does not update

  Hello

  This is my first post here.

  I hope someone can help with Windows Media Center (7) electronic programs guide. For a few weeks now, it did not update properly. We receive updates for the local HD channels only - local standard-def channels or regular cable channels.

  I tried various methods to get MCUPDATE. EXE update completely the EPG, but nothing has worked. The most "promising" indication (regarding an indication as to what happens), we had, is that, sometimes, we get the error message "cannot retrieve updates (error: HeadendID [eight-digit number] is not valid.)»

  I tried to contact Zap2It and they referred me to Microsoft, this is how I found myself here. The procedure for reporting a problem to the EPG is not exactly crystalline, so please bear with me if I did something wrong. (Zap2It gave me a link to https://connect.microsoft.com/site1145, but when I click on "the comments link on the left" as indicated on the page, it just brings back me to the same page).

  If it helps to have this information, we are on Comcast and using a CableCARD in a Ceton InfiniTV 4 PCI - E tuner. We can watch all the channels that we subscribe to, and we can save them manually, but there is no metadata program and we do not have records of the series on cable. Please let me know what I need to do to report this to someone who is able to solve the problem.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello Barb,

  I tried this (evolution of postal codes) last night, one of many new things I've done. I chose the closest city that was not ours and got a little familiar set of guides to the choice. One of them selected and downloaded - but of course the channels does not match.

  We finally had success when I risked to re-run the installation of TV program; My fear was that we might have to re-pair the CableCARD everywhere again, which is a major pain as some cable company RSC have never even heard of him, and even fewer know what to do about this. So go through configuring TV was as a measure of last resort for me.

  But I've learned that we can only accept the existing information of CableCARD in WMC and go on its merry way. We have completed the installation process, enter the correct zip code once again - and this time we got not only all the right-hand lanes, but also a value of 12 days of listings!

  So I'll add new run TV installation for our 'Protocol' in case we ever run into this issue once again. There is great relief in our House!

• 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.

• 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

  -Eric

  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-Center

  I 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

  If the previous step fails, then try to download the cumulative update of the Center media of the KB article below and check.

• Impossible to change the Windows Media Center guide to allow the use of ot TV relay stations (translators)

  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.

• Windows Media Center photo date AND time

  Is it possible to have Windows Media Center to deliver photos in Date AND time order.  I have several photos taken at a given date in my folder, but WMC puts in the random time sequence in a date.  My Pictures folder is in date and time order

  Hi gingerandbuddy,

  Follow the steps below to organize photos in media center in groups.
  You can only group by alphabetical order and date wise, but you can also add the tag for photos that would make it easier to find photos.

  1. on the Start screen, navigate to pictures + videos, and then click picture library.
  2. click on Folders to sort your files and folders in alphabetical order, click date taken to sort your folders and files by date or click tags to sort your files by tags that have been applied. (To learn more about labels and how to use them, see tag pictures so they are easier to find.)

• Update of Windows Media Center electronic Program Guide only to July 22, 2015.

  Electronic Program Guide (EPG of my Windows 7 Media Center PC) ceased to be updated since July 15, 2015. I manually download updated guide to day and it confirms that the download was successful, but the guide has information up to the part of July 22. No information is passed to 20:00 on 22 July.

  This is a temporary problem or should there be a fix for Windows Update?

  Thank you!

  Same thing I had, but this fixed it for me.  Run the installation of media center and set up the new TV signal.  Takes a little everything and some channels is different, but the guide whole is back.  Not sure if I need to reprogram my recordings again.  I hope this works for everyone!

• Problem updating Win 7 Media Center Guide

  I am in Columbus Ohio and WOW to my cable provider. Three days earlier, the guide for Media Center lists seem to be downloading but never done in Media Center.  Did someone else who have difficulties?

  Thank you.

  I could solve the problem. As it turns out, when I reinstalled Media Center trying to solve another problem, I was aware that WOW had recently gone to all digital channels.  So when reinstalling, I chose digital channels only.  It turns out that the Rating Guide is for analog channels so no information guide had been captured.  I reinstalled media library again by selecting analog as well as digital channels and the guide is back.

  Thank you!
