Vista Media Center loses tv recording titles

• 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?

• No audio in Vista Media Center Live TV

  In Windows Media Center on Vista, I lost the audio when watching live TV. Others have had this problem, but I have not found a satisfactory answer that solves. Nothing is cut, my speakers to test very well and it IS audio in all aspects of Media Center, including the recorded programs previously. The problem seems to lie in Media Center, itself; I read something on any corrupted files codec, but no indication on how to fix this. Reload Media Center will arrange this and if yes, how can I go about it?

  Sometimes a presence of third-party decoders can cause this problem. If this is the case, uninstall them and check again the question.

  You can try Vista Media Center Decoder Utility: -.

• Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?

  Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

  OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

  But I still can't read the DVD.

  After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

  This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

  What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
  If it is it may be a disk problem.
