Windows 7 media center recorded TV is pixellisant when played - just started this a few weeks ago.

We used media center for months to record TV without problem.  The last 3 weeks or so he started to Pixelize recorded during playback programs.  Sometimes bring down and backup works, sometimes clicking on return to work and sometimes nothing works.  There has been no change in the material and watch TV without recording works fine.  What could cause a problem when there has been no change to the computer?  Nothing else is running during recording or watching programs (other than anything that runs under the covers) registered.

Color me embarrassed.  We rekindled our recorder standalone and had basically the same bad recording cable, so essential to control the cable.  He had a crooked PIN.  He straightened and everything works fine now.

  • Windows Media Center - recorded not from TV Signal, but TV signal is good

    Windows Media Center record regular shows without problem until last week. Now I have to manually press record for each show, because the Scheduler is almost completely useless, the TV signal is absolutely perfect. Once I pressed record manually, it records very well.

    In regular history, the error is not recorded: no TV Signal

    This is simply not true. I noticed that this can happen, in particular, to the HD recordings. But the signal is always good.

    I tried to delete the programmed recording file but no change.

  • Windows 7 Media Center Live TV and recorded TV no sound.

    After the upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 and get all the drivers updated, Windows 7 Media Center has no sound for TV or recorded TV, but sound works for all other programs, including just play music in media center.  Reading DVD and Bluray will similarly play with surround sound with HP DVD BD play, then it is certainly not an audio card/driver problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    An additional note: If you look at mixing devices, remember that you have multimedia running. If you do not, it may appear not as part of mixer. When I got a pronlem with no sound in WMC, but WMP worked (as well as my other apps), it turns out be the problem, but you would only see it when WMC is running.

    Thanks, my TV sound is is arrested without reason, but everything except the sound effects in media center worked. turned out that some how the mixer was gone the media center to 0 and left it like that.

    Can someone help me get the most out of Windows Vista media center with my new Qosmio G50.

    As I know a few models of G50 has been equipped with a tuner TV with antenna TV port that allows to connect a coaxial cable to this port to watch a TV program and then save.
    But as I said earlier, this feature is not included with all models of G50.

    Hi Bevtravel,

    Windows Media Center on Windows XP, like Windows 7, can use external USB TV Tuner to watch/record TV. Make sure that external USB TV Tuner is compatible with the version of Windows Media Center that you have on your computer (2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, etc.).

  • Download pirated Windows XP Media Center with the genuine key?

    Hi all

    First of all, I apologize if the thread, I created is in the wrong place (Technet forums), but I got enough good help from technet on a Windows 7 problem, that I had. I've recently updated to the Genuine Windows XP Media Center to a genuine Windows 7 Professional.

    I own a HP pavilion laptop came pre-loaded with XP MC (media center). Now, HP does not record with the laptop, instead, there is a recovery partition which can be transferred to DVD to create additional space on the HARD drive, I did. Unfortunately my DVD player no longer works, and I can not restore my XP to factory settings (new facility) because the HP restore software only reads from the DVD.

    This XP has become bloated over time, and I want to do a new installation.

    It is, I could download a pirated copy of the media center XP SP3 and use my real serial number and / or additional information to activate it?

    Thank you

    No, because your key is specific to an HP facility.
    Replace your DVD player or buy an external hard drive

  • 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?

    Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

    Hello Nikki Locke,

    That's great, that you have found a solution. However, you can view the following information.
    Please see the thread below because there was a problem with the program guide in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It must be corrected. If not, let us know.

  • Microsoft has stopped support for Windows 7 Media Center's Electronic Programming Guide?

    I've been using the Windows 7 Media Center to watch and record local televisions more of one year.  Now, my guide-schedule is not download new data.  I tried several times to update manually the programming data.  The EPG shows the update succeeded, but no new data is displayed.  Microsoft stopped providing data to guide programming?  If Microsoft still provides programming data, what can I do to fix the problem?  PS: I have similar problems on a second computer.

    After re - run the TV Setup at least 100 times, it * finally * downloaded and updated to the source of Rovi.

    Keep trying, it will work eventually.  Try to run the TV setup during off-peak hours, such as early in the morning.
