Why is there no online media tab in my Windows Media Center?

I had never used Windows Media Center until I saw a video of a person using a console Xbox 360 as an Extender so I got interested and downloaded the Media Center and added my Xbox as an Extender. Then I noticed on several videos other users with a "Online media" tab right on the 'Sports' tab and above the 'Tasks' tab However, this is not the case on my Windows Media Center on my PC or my Xbox 360. I did a lot of research trying to find a solution and made a "Auto fix" download as well as in numerous trouble shooting research and reinstall nothing doesn't. I noticed a few other forums on this subject, but they all just claim that it does not appear on their Xbox and so the question never gets answered. The problem is not with the Xbox, but it's with the Media Center because the way in which it does not appear on the PC either. I use Windows 7 also. Help, please!

    I don t think you will be able to find a free channel Sky One in the internet.
    But I'm not an expert m and this is only my personal opinion.
    If you don t have a satellite or cable TV, you could buy a DVB - T TV tuner, and maybe then you will be able to receive more channels TV using MCE ;)

  • Why is there a second (new) tab, you can not delete after update to 6.02?

    I am running Windows XP. After updating to Firefox6.02 a second tab was there after my 'Google' default tag. The second tab contains the words "New Tab" on this issue, and when you click the 'X' button in the tab, it does not close. When you go to for closing of Firefox a warning window/box will appear to tell you that you have 2 tabs open and asks if it's ok to close. I thought that there is a problem with the update. So I uninstalled Firefox and then re-installed. Same thing happened, 2 tablets. Any ideas?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder.

    Delete the sessionstore.js file [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-# .js with a number in the left part of the name as sessionstore - 1.js then delete those as well.
    Delete sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and tab groups and opened and closed the tabs (back) to get lost, so you will need to create them again (take note or bookmarks).

    They were withdrawn a few versions back because they were horribly outdated. There is no update of Adobe replacement project.

    You have a few options:

    If you continue to use CC 2015, you can purchase an extension (there are a few out there, such as DMX Zone) that creates the code to current standards, or learn to do it manually. Unfortunately, CC 2015 has a problem with installation of extensions currently that Adobe knows and works on.

  • Accessibility: why is there no shortcut for Page Info in Windows?

    On Linux and Mac, there is a keyboard shortcut for Page Info:
    Linux: ctrl + I
    Mac: cmd + I
    but there is no shortcut for Windows relatives, we are forced to use a mouse. An extension should not be required for basic accessibility features.

    I agree that a keyboard command to open the Info Page on the Windows of Firefox versions should be standard, but unfortunately {Ctrl + I} always open the bookmarks bar, which cam also open with {Ctrl + B}.

    I have been using the extension of Page Info button to add this feature to Firefox since Firefox 1.0.

  • Media Center does not support the digital TV Tuners to the Canada, only US places why

    Is there a reason why Wondows 7 Premium Home Media Center isn't support / detect my digital TV tuner when the location is set to the Canada? Only the ANALOG tuner is detected. I have ATI TV Wonder HD 750 PCI-E installed

    I am living in Calgary, Alberta Canada and the Canada's analog and digital at the end of August Tv is not broadcast anymore.

    If I change my position to the United States and enter a ZIP code, as indicated for example, beside the ZIP box, both my analog and digital tuner is detected. manual configuration I would like to be able to view local HD channels, but the TV guide is is in the sewer because I put en location.

    I thought earlier that there will be an update when switch us to television digital broadcasting here in the Canada, but is not passed.

    Yet once, why the Media Center only detects the analog tuner when I have the location defined in the Canada and my correct Postal Code? I enjoy to get an answer to this, if it is the policy of some sort or a miss from Microsoft.

  • Issues of Media Center in Windows 7 (Pro) & questions

    I tried to add movies (files) to Media Center, but it does not work.
    I select the (local) drive, then click on the folder (where are my movie files), then next, but it does not add.  Why can't we just TYPE in something like that?  And why this menu seems to go to sleep?  My system partitions a WEI 7.8 and I click on a menu item and the software just sits there for a few seconds, then responds.  Where was all this time?

    All my movies have very useful and consistent file names.  How do I get MMC to view THOSE and not the odd internal name in the files of brand somehow?

    Is it possible to associate a poster of film or jpg with each film so the inscription looks better?  Now, it's a bunch of blocks of sickly aspect (who chose these colors?).

    When you watch movies, MMC insists on sending audio directly to the optical output, bypassing the volume/mixer Windows and the volume control in Media Center.  The + - at the bottom does absolutely nothing!  Execution of Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, I have total control of the volume, as for all the rest.

    There is a scroll bar?  They make it easier to jump around in the media file.

    I run Media Center (on a system with two screens) and it goes full screen.  The mouse is stuck on this screen.  Why?

    On another Win 7 (Premium) system with a TV tuner, how I record TV on my data disc?  The boot drive is much smaller, and since I regularly back up, I like to keep all the data off of it and on a table.  I wish that my machine "DVR" record TV shows on that second most "drive" too.

    Must Media Center be run to have a programmed recording to arrive?  (I know that the computer must be on).  I guess what I'm asking is if Media Center includes a service that runs in the background, time and the timing of registration, monitoring and who uses Media Center or the utility to record at the right time.  If Media Center is open and running, it is adjustable to open reduced?

    Thanks to all who can offer clues with all this.

    During a Media Center, go to tasks.

    Then TV > recorder > recorder storage

    Change the drive where Media Center records there.

    Media Center is not need to be run to record TV, it will record what you have planned in the background.

  • Where is the Windows Media Center in Windows 8/How do I use the TV card in my new Win 8 PC

    I just bought a new HP ENVY h8 - Office 1500 t and I ordered a TV card in option.

    The operating system is Windows 8, my old PC is running Vista.

    There is no instructions on how to configure the TV. My old PC used Windows Media Center for TV operations. Apparently, there is no Media Center application in Windows 8. If there is, I can't find it.

    There is an app called Huppage TV, but there is no instructions. Help!

    Hello

    Microsoft is not delivered WMC with 8 Windows including Windows 8 Pro. Windows 8 Pro, too late to get a free copy now, you buy. For normal Windows 8, you must pay to go to Pro first, then pay for WMC.

  • Problems adding our HP Media Extender for Windows Media Center

    Hello, we have about 15 HP Media Extenders (MEX) laying around the place, connected to 2 x Win 7 computers laptops and 1 x Vista desktop, all running Windows Media Center.

    Previously, the MEXs all the connected without problems on the computers in the library, but for some reason, they do not want to connect now.  What happened was I uninstalled all MEXs on the Vista computer as they were all saying disabled and did not know how to enable them again, so I thought that all delete and just add.

    But the thing was, I did not add that Vista Media Centre, outside of the Xbox 360.  But I managed to add a bit of MEXs in other media Centres.  I also noticed there is a Media Center W7 which seems to be able to add when the other two cannot.  The error messages I received were: "an error occurred during the configuration of your computer with the Extender" or "Unable to Find Media Extender.

    I'm not under a firewall on all computers, or the other.

    Sorry if I missed any information.  Thank you for your help.

  • Media center does not open

    Why can I not use Media center?  It loads then stops.  I went through the system auditor, as suggested, and it does not work. I tried to rebuild the data storage, as suggested, and it does not work. What is the problem with media player?

    You can reset WMC also: -.

    Run the Setup again.

    Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > installation Windows Media Center > rerun the installation

    Does that help?

    If the above does not help then try to reset WMC: -.

    Open Control Panel > uninstall a program > turn Windows features on or off > scroll multimedia features > uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > follow the instructions on the screen > Reboot > open again to turn Windows features on or off in the control panel > scroll multimedia features > check the box against Windows Media Center.

  • Windows Media Center can't find digital signals

    Why microsoft is located on their products

    I have the media center of vista and I can not get digital signal; I searched for 3 hours trying to find updates or what ever may help and what I find is a stupid idea and eventually find a Ko but it is not for my product!

    Microsoft then why no update for media center don't why no help substantal for media center. Why do you persist in telling lies on the products (vista, media center) when they just are garbage?

    I have the media center of vista and I can not get digital signal...

    I don't know if this reflects the problems you are having, but I had a similar problem with Windows 7 Media Center and my Tuner of TV Hauppauge WinTV HVR950Q. I know that I have entered digital HD but Media Center it would not recognize despite repeated attempts and various configuration changes. Finally, in total exasperation I changed my position of my real Canadian position at one South of the 49th parallel (e.g. American). My digital signal was instantly recognized within the TV configuration.

    Someone needs to inform Microsoft that the Canada in digital TV effect and actually had digital broadcast metropolitan centres required by law since August 31, 2011. Maybe the program should be renamed media library.

  • my media center of windows is causing certain command in games to stop working.

    And after researching on gaming sites, most of them said to disable the WMC in my Vista 64.  is this possible, and how I can do?

    I don't think that you can uninstall Windows Media Center in Vista. But you can certainly turn off starting Services so it is not executed.

    Click on start and type > services

    There are 4 Media Center services. They probably already unlikely running and it's not that they originally are no problem. They could be running if you have set up the Media Center and used. If this is not the case, they will be in the list below.
     
    Media Center Extender Service - probably already disabled
    Windows Media Center Receiver Service - default is manual
    Windows Media Center Scheduler Service - default is manual
    Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service - default is manual

    You can open them and set them off, but I really doubt that it will be useful, because they are not likely work anyway. BUT if the game somehow made a call to start the service, then perhaps you could see a problem. Deactivation could help, but more probably to check the game settings.
    Make sure that all drivers are up-to-date.

    I hope this helps. Mark <> Microsoft Partner

  • Where is Media Center?

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium (x 64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) that came preinstalled on my HP desktop.  The Microsoft site says that Media Center comes with this edition.  There is no Media Center on the start menu.  It does not show if I type in the immediate window.  Nothing called Media Center comes if I do a Windows search for this.  On some website, someone said it was a weird name, but when I typed in the search, no executable is back.  All the links to Microsoft tell me how wonderful it is.  The download site shows me just a sales pitch.  Each Google search and the search for community Windows treats when it stops working.  I just have to work the first time.  Any ideas?  I'm pretty tech savvy but it left me speechless.

    Commander: thanks for the quick response.  I forgot to post when I went before posting, all features of media have been verified.  Based on your comment, I unchecked them all and passed through the required reboot.  At the start, I went back in and checked the characteristics of media.  Media Center now appears in the start menu.
