Why is media center saying my dvd, s are not this country? they were purchased in the United Kingdom.

I keep trying to play the dvd in my media center player, but a flag goes up to to say that they play in this country. I bought them to the United Kingdom!

DVD is encoded with a "Region DVD". To check what you responds to go into Device Manager, select the DVD drive and check in system properties. License only 4 changes, so be very careful.

  • Windows Media Center says "look at one or conflict Listening - no tuner available to meet the current demand" once I replaced a Hauppauge USB HDTV tuner with an AverMedia USB HDTV tuner.

    The Device Manager shows the new tuner works correctly.  I disabled the WMC service and turned it back several times.  I tried to download a fix online, I found which seems would help (Microsoft hotfix KB981129) but when I try to install it (the 64-bit version) I a get a message that the ' update is not applicable to your computer.

    It's driving me crazy.  WMC was working perfectly fine when I had the Hauppauge USB tuner in place.  But when I replaced the Hauppauge tuner with the tuner Avermedia, I got this message and cannot watch television.  I always have a channel guide, but when I click on any program in this guide I get this message. When I click on Live TV, I get this message.

    Can someone help me, please?  Windows 7 Ultimate x 64

    Hi DrRdr Rd, yes most likely to register, often conflicting drivers, here's what to do.

    1. uninstall the TV Tuner using Device Manager, the removal of all drivers.

    2. go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft, delete the ehome folder, you may need to stop all processes IE mcGlidHost and running ehrecvr.

    3. Open regedit and go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Video, you will see a key named Tuners, delete the key. Close regedit and restart, allowing windows to reinstall the drivers.

    3. Open Media Center and try to go forward through the configuration.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi Mariam,

    It seems that your ID Adobe was initially registered in Pakistan due to which it is not allowing you to make purchases in the United States.

    You can create a new Adobe ID, register in the United States and then it should allow you to make a purchase.

    Let us know if it works or not.

    Thank you

  • Windows Media Player 11 says wrong region to play DVDs purchased in the United States - why?

    I apologize in advance; I'm sure that this question has been asked many times before, but I have been searching Microsoft for two hours and I'm frustrated that there is no clear answer.

    I'm in the United States the computer was purchased from the United States the activated, legal Vista Home Premium is on U.S. time and language settings. The DVD was purchased from the United States and the seller (Amazon, a reliable company) confirmed to me in writing that it is meant to be played in the United States the region on my player says DVD region 1. All settings are enabled by default. Media Player 11 is updated as part of the Microsoft Windows automatic update service.

    Why won't she, and why the error message:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because the disc prohibits playback in your region of the world. You must obtain a disc that is intended for your geographic region. »

    I would appreciate it very much if someone could point me to a specific answer, as vain hours clicking on the links on the immense site of Microsoft have resulted in nothing relevant. Thank you very much.

    You can change the region but only a few times, then
    you're stuck... so this isn't a good idea.

    Have you tried the DVD on a different drive... just like a
    experiment?

    FWIW... Perhaps the media player freeware at the following address
    be worth a try... it will play anything:

    (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)

    What should I do? I don't think it's completely just a mistake, where us the files and I is not even saving programs!

    WMC stores the file in the Public TV folder saved on your hard drive by default, it is located at C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV.

  • Why Windows Media Center does not display tile of Internet TV?

    Does not accept downloads

    Hello, Packard37

    You are in the US, UK or elsewhere?

    Internet TV is available only in the United States and the United Kingdom - assuming that you are located in the United States / UK:

    Check your region settings in Windows. Go to start > Control Panel > clock, language and region > region and language. On the location tab, make sure that the country is selected in the administration tab, make sure that the language is also correct as well, otherwise click the settings change system locale.

    Go to start, all programs, accessories, click with the right button on command prompt and choose Run as administrator. At the command prompt, run the following command and press ENTER: start/wait %windir%\ehome\mcupdate - uf-nogc

    After you run this command, open Media Center and check if it is available, otherwise, you may need to reset the Media Center, note that this operation removes all custom settings and you will need to re-run the installation again:

    Open the command prompt, as described above once again and then type the following command and press ENTER: MediaCenterRecoveryTask - %SystemRoot%\ehome\mcupdate.exe

    One time only complete, open Media Center and run through the configuration. If you do not immediately see the Internet TV, let Media Center open for about 5-10 minutes, then restart and check if it is available or not.

  • Media Center Internet TV - no content is not found?

    Ok.  I have been using Media Center Internet TV for some time.  I normally watch CBS and all the CSI, NCIS sees when they come out. That said, I have some I Center media set up correctly.

    Lately I've been coming up with 'No content' when looking for shows.  For example

    .. I go in the Internet TV section

    .. All the tiles appear, and I scroll down to CBS and select it

    .. All the tiles show appear here

    When I have the CSI games, he says there is "1 full episode, 71 clips.

    NCSI said "2 full episodes, 133 clips" and so on.

    But when I go into them I get the error "no content found.

    No idea what happened?  Its been a few weeks ago.  BTW, Netflix works great.

    I have a Hp Pavilion Media Center Edition 2002 running. How will I know if I have all the patches and updates, I need? Also is free upgrade to the edition of 2005?

    Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

    There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

    If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

    I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

    Yes, it will work. However I recommend to buy the disk to upgrade of the United Kingdom.

  • Why has the United Kingdom iPhone7 still logos FCC and how to make one with them?

    Yesterday I went to the Apple Store to check new iPhone 7/more to those who are disappointed that the FCC, CE logos & ID are always present. Why this has not changed since September of 2015 when the iPhone 6s logos have been deleted in other countries like the United States and Canada ect? I thought that maybe it would be at least one year so that it can enter into force here in the United Kingdom, but no such thing happened. In this spirit and the fact that Apple aren't clearly on this subject, we know how to get potentially an iPhone 7 more in the United Kingdom without these of these annoyances?

    If you're referring specifically for models with screen, those who are not necessarily indicative of what will be the markings on the new phones purchased it. These are demonstration devices that have been specifically configured as such and shipped to stores, very probably the United States. Keep an eye on someone buying a new phone in the store and take a look at the back. That will tell you what you'll see.

    If you are not satisfied, there is no point complaining here. We are not Apple. This is a user forum.
