Reset DRM tool should only be used if all Zune DRM and Windows Media DRM content playback does not work. After the following process is finished, you must license the DRM from your Windows 7 computer.

  Download DRM reset tool and save it to your desktop. To download this file, visit the following Web site:

  Windows media center xp 2005 will not see my digital tuner when I installed it.  I do not have

  That is right.  However, the United States and the Canada, MCE2k5 requires the installation an analog tuner.
  There is also no support for ATSC in Canada (IIRC), and MCE2k5 does not natively support the Clear-QAM (unencrypted digital cable) tuners.

  Could node busy, you give some details?  What country are you in, and is what tuner (s) you are trying to use?

• Windows Media Center is unable to output Dolby Digital/DTS via SPDIF... only stereo PCM is sent

  Hello

  I recently bought a desktop computer HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium (64 bit) 5150t.  The PC comes with a TV tuner and it works well with Media Center except that it cannot output Dolby Digital (or the other program on the air with JJ or DVDs of films that have a DD) outside of my A / V receiver.

  My Board has Realtek HD Audio and I activated the digital (SPDIF) output in its program.  I put the "Properties" of the digital output in support of * TWO * DTS and Dolby Digital encoding.  When I press the 'Test' button for either format, outside A / V receiver correctly recognizes the format, so the problem is not with my receiver.

  Read forums and online help notes, I strongly suspect that the codec MPEG-2 by default for Windows Media Center is not configured correctly for cross DD or DTS - it somehow always stereo down-Mix before sending to SPDIF.  Could you tell me how to check and change codec setting?  Thank you!

  -Colin

  Hi Chow Ho.
   
  This problem occurs because the DirectShow component and audio decoder MPEG2 in Windows Vista does not correctly support DTS pass through S/PDIF or HDMI.
   
  To work around this problem, click to select the box Audio DTS and Dolby Digital check box in the SPDIF Out properties dialog box or the dialog box Properties of HDMI Out .

• Windows Media Center Vista don't tune in digital channels of PCI digital tuner tv.

  I recently installed a new Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC? ATSC/QAM tuner in my computer. Its a dual core 2.66 mhz 4GB Ram running Windows Vista Home premium with Windows Media Center. The tuner is made to work with Windows Media Center according to its box. He also had his own software cleaner, IE. WinTV, which I also loaded. I have an antenna hanging good input on the tuner card. That same exact antenna wire hooked to a digital TV Gets the following strings... 6.1 and 6.2 - 6.3 - 8.1 - 8.2-8.3-17.1-17.2 - 17.3 - 22.1
  WinTV those gets exactly the same channel list and can display them all. Windows Media Center, after the execution of the installation routine, list the same channels, but do not think that all. Problem channels are 8.2 - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3.  These channels show in the guide as "No Data Available" and when you select them, there is no signal detected. Yet, channel 8.1 and 17.1 gave Guide and discover very well. It is interesting when you go through special antenna Signal: settings: TV: Digital TV the 8.2 problem channels - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3 list all the and are verified with check marks and show full signal strength. I spent time trying to play with the Guides Add announcement & edit channels and add missing channels. Also, I spent time with "Set Up TV signal" several times.
  Any suggestions? Why is the windows media center grateful but not display secondary digital channels, still recognizing and displaying the primary digital channel very well. It can be the signal or the pilots, because MyTV of Hauppage shows them all very well.
  Help?

  Try windows update.  I use this card with media center 7 and had no problem getting all the digital channels.

• Windows Media Center will not recognize TV tuner Digital stations live

  I am trying to display and record all my content from TV on my laptop using my hybrid analog/digital TV tuner card. So far, the WMC recognizes the analog content. But my cable provider provides many channels of ClearQAM I can see on my TV without a decoder, just using the QAM tuner in the TV. My tuner card is supposed to recognize the QAM signals, so I should be able to view all unencrypted content (users) that comes through the coaxial feeder on my portable tuner. But no luck so far. When I set up the TV signal in WMC, the menu only listed setup analog cable my cable box, even though I know that my cable company provides digital content.
  I had actually upgraded my Windows Media Center to include the TV pack (downloaded from Engadget) but even this last version does not recognize digital channels. If I try to change the Program Guide and add them manually, all I get is static when I select the. I am at a loss to know what to do next. Is this a problem that should fix a new TV tuner? I heard good things about the AverMedia card, maybe I should just go that route? Can anyone recommend a new tuner card?

• Windows Media Center won't play DVD

  Windows Media Center won't play DVD. This program has played these exact DVD in September. These DVDs can be played on other devices. Error message indicates that there is a problem with the decoder, but don't tell me the code of error message. I searched other forums, but it is impossible to find an answer to this problem, except the recommendation of a codec - although I don't know how I "lost" the codec in the month. Microsoft Security Essentials have installed and up to date, if it is not a virus. Have problems in other programs with the recognition of previously readable files. Not sure if it's related, so I'll post in separate... forums but I'll give you a link if you want to. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello cowgurlup55,

  In addition to the response of Santosh, please relay if the problem occurs when you play a DVD or a single. Please also relay if the same problem occurs when you try to play the DVD with Windows Media Player.

  In addition, if you have an extra DVD decoder installed, then try to update the DVD decoding software.

• Not able to run the digital cable Advisor in Windows Media Center

  Digital cable Advisor

  I can't get the digital cable Advisor in Windows Media Center in Windows 7 Home Premium.  After I installed Windows back me to the same Setup screen.  From what I read on the program, after installation it is supposed to start.  I checked the Extras Gallery and it does not appear there after installation.

  Chris-

  I started taking screenshots of the process tonight and of course the DCA installed successfully and actually worked!  My system has passed the test.  I tried installing in DCA 100 times before and never had that day!

  I suspect that the root cause was due to a problem with the motherboard that was recently repaired.  At least that's my story and I stick to it!

  Thanks again for your help.

• Windows Media Center will not scan digital channels using a dual tuner (analog/digital)

  I have an AverMedia Volar Max tuner which is analog and digital double Windows 7 Professional
  Media Library 'sees' the tuner as an analog tuner and properly identifies all the analog channels, that I see on TV.
  However, none of the digital channels are detected. I have not found a way to "force" a search using QAM256 or any other research of digital formats.   Using the tuner, cable and connections the same BUT with a linux sotware (mythtv) all digital channels have been identified.
  Is the problem because its analog and digital modes? How can I force Media Center to see the digital capacity of the tuner?

  Might have been a better place to look for information on the AverMedia Max Volar tuner AverMedia USA site.

  If you had looked here to find the latest drivers or to read support information, you would have found:

  The support of the AVerTV Hybrid Volar MAX QAM signals on Microsoft Windows Media Center?

  Currently, Microsoft Windows Media Center does not signal QAM. You will need to use our AVer Media Center in order to receive the QAM signal. Please download the application on our website programs: http://www.aver.com/mpd/support/download/combopcie.html
