  Sometimes, Windows Media Center would not be able to download Guide data. In general, this happens for the following reasons:

  (a) your computer is not connected to the Internet or there is a problem with your Internet settings.

  (b) If your computer connects to the Internet by using a dial-up connection, make sure that the connection is properly configured. For more information about setting up a dial-up connection for use in Windows Media Center, see solving problems with an Internet connection.

  (c) the Guide Server is not available or is temporarily out of service. If the Guide Setup was already complete, Windows Media Center will try to download it again daily.

  (d) the Guide service provider didn't Guide your location information.

  Original title: lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected)

  Have lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected). Have messed around with all the settings, but can't seem to recover these items.

  Hi Liljools,

  1. When did you start to question?

  a. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide listings.

  b. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

  d. 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.

• Where to go to set the channel missing from the Windows Media Center Program Guide

  Hi people,

  Hoping that someone like Barb Bowman (or a person with any with any part of the Windows Media Center team still it exists) can help me with this.  I'm missing a channel in my programming.  His 668 (Discovery HD) channel, and my program guide is for Seattle, Comcast King County South (digital). I spoke with Comcast, with Ceton Corp (manufacturing of my digital cable tuner card) and with Zap2it (info guide provider program for WMC).  All of them confirm what a) 668 is in my registration, b) 668 is tunable my card, and c) 668 announces are included in the current program guide data from Zap2it.  My data to guide program is also completely updated according to WMC. Zap2it has suggested that I use this site to submit the question to Microsoft:

  https://connect.Microsoft.com/site1145

  I saw other, older messages in this community to refer people to this website as well.  Well, whatever used to be here for your comments seems to have been taken down.  I can connect, I can click on the link «Studies», but the surveys page lists no surveys underway or completed.

  Will there be a new favorite way to indicate this type of problem?  Please help me to connect with the right resources at Microsoft to resolve this issue.

  Thank you!

• Windows media center program guide?

  yesterday, I had to reinstall windows vista from the ground upward. I went to set up my tv and tv tuner/cable program guide in order to record and watch TV on my computer. Everything went through everything as before until I opened the guide to record programs at future dates. I noticed that the program guide was off of 3 hours. Example: the news on showed 23:00 to 20:00 on the guide and so on. I reinstalled, changed the area and zip codes to see if it worked, and nothing has changed. I disabled the box of cable/reset of the top box/internet connection / computer also. I am up to date on all windows downloads that are needed. I just do not know where to go from here. If anyone has had this problem and if yes, how do solve you this problem? Thanks in advance for any help of suggestions that I have not already tried is grateful.

  Hi nancyturnbaugh,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  What is the time showing correctly on the PC?

  If it is adjusted to the correct time zone?

  Have you checked the time in the BIOS?

  I have the feeling, the time zone is not set correctly (example: the list demonstrate PST time even if you follow IS). However try to save these files and restart the computer and check the media library.

  1 close Media Center
  2 click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd
  3 run the command regsvr32.exe atl.dll
  4 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer
  5. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched
  6 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer
  7. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr
  8 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer
  9. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe/regserver
  10. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer
  11. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe/regserver
  12 restart Media Center

  Have you tried to contact the cable company?

  Other users have had the same problem and it was fixed by the cable company. I suggest that you try to contact first, and make sure that everything is correct on their end.

  I hope this helps.

  Kind regards.

• Windows Media Center TV Guide ads

  I'm in the United Kingdom. TV Guide lists seem to have stopped updating. My listings end tomorrow morning (1 January 2013). The company that generates the list of the UK said that updates have been transferred to Microsoft, and there should be 15 days available. My task set show that the update process runs correctly on my computer.

  This, I guess that Microsoft has a problem and is currently not updated its lists.

  Does anyone know if this can be solved?

• Why has Windows Media Center Program Guide, an expiration date and is it possible to extend the updates of the information on the TV program?

  When I watched the recorded TV programs, I realized that no programs have been registered since May 1, 2012.

  When you open the program guide settings (settings:, TV: ProgramGuide) and watched part of the' Guide' he said start from 01/01/01, end date: 2012-05-01. So that explains why I get no updates.

  But someone how to get the subscription suite program listings or another way to obtain lists of programs TV in Media Center?

• Windows Media Center Guide - no data

  After doing an update, windows media center TV guide display more data... said 'No data available' went to settings, put in place the guide... guide downloads, but will not display the show there. ????

  What day?

  If this value is the cause might find you it under Add/Remove programs? If, then uninstall it and check again the question.

  You can also "Run Setup Again" [Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > run Setup again]

  You can also try the system restore.

  Select any restore point when everything worked well.

• Guide to Windows Media Center (Vista x 64) will not download

  The Windows Media Center TV guide stopped downoading automatically. When I try to load it manually nothing happens at all.  The Guide is now Virgin complelety (each channel does say "No data found") so I can't save this upcoing view shows, nothing.

  I found the answer here:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itpromedia/thread/e123068e-8ac4-4e37-AF97-691b408582a6

  In particular, follow these steps:

  This happens because the mcupdate.exe process, downloading tv setup data, is not active which should have run automatically during the installation of the tv. So make a shortcut on the desktop with this path "C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe-manuel - nogc Pei" and run it. Everything will be fine.

• Windows 7 media center tv guide planning lost .dll

  My anti-virus found a .dll suspect something like a regular planning. I deleted the .dll file and it seems that it was necessary for the update to Windows 7 media center tv guide (now displays the available data). I have reset media center several times with no luck. Unfortunately, I can't restore to an earlier date or obtain the file from my Recycle Bin. I still have Windows 7 64 bit upgrade disk if I can find the name of the file and know where to copy it in.

  Thanks for your help,

  jqh947

  Hi jqh947,

  1. you remember which dll file has been deleted?

  I would say Mr scanner SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

  The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  For more information please visit the link below.
