Windows Media Center are more updates of program guide information

Hello all-

I have Windows Media Center with a Ceton InfiniTV 4 tuner card, running Windows 7 (64-bit), all applied MS Updates to works very well until recently, when arrested WMC download information guide program. There is no relevant event in the Windows event log and the system event log. I tried to force them to download a update (via task ==>-online TV-Online Guide => get latest Guide that lists the parameters.) It recognizes the request with a dialog box "Guide lists. Downloadng... you know... ' After a minute or so, he responds with "the Guide download error. the guide could not be downloaded. "For more information, right-click on the WMC system tray icon and open the log of update of WMC.
When I try to follow his instructions, the only choices displayed by right-clicking on the icon in the tray of WMC are open WMC, refresh the data now, cancel update, turn on automatic updates. There is no option to view the log of update. Can someone tell me how to see the journal, or where it is stored on the disk?
I also tried a few searches and the suggested solutions, but nothing seems to help.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance!
-Chris.

There are several threads on this. at present, people have reported that the
only work around is to change your hosts file with
 
65.55.5.170 data.tvdownload.microsoft.com
128.177.98.169 cdn.epg.tvdownload.microsoft.com
 
and reboot.
 
 
to edit your host file.

  • My Windows Media Center Download the latest TV programming guide

    With the help of Win 7 Home Prem SP1 64-bit.

    Suddenly, Windows Media Center Download the latest TV programming guide.  It worked fine, then all of a sudden it stopped.  WMC wonder if I want to download the latest Guide Listing.  I click on the download option, then he said: 'Guide lists have been downloaded successfully. Yet, when I go into my program Guide for all the different TV channels (everywhere in the air, no cable or satellite) it says "No data available" in other words not it offers for download, guide, said that he never actually makes the fact.

    I don't know how or why this happened. I tried to download the application manually Guide by going to tasks-> settings-> TV etc and it does the same thing. It says "Guide Listings were downloaded successfully" but nothing.

    How to fix?

    PS my TV tuner and everything works fine. My internet connection is perfect. Am really confused.

    Re-run the installation of the TV, try a different zip code and then switch back to your own if this does not work

  • Windows Media Center has stopped updating the lists Guide for Windows 7

    Windows 10 will go out the next Wednesday July 29, 2015. I have Windows 7 and I have technical problems with the Guide in Windows Media Center lists. This isn't updated Guide lists and I wonder if this problem is related to the upgrade of Windows 10?

    I called a technician to answer Microsoft desktop and the technician fixed my computer errors. Unfortunately, he could not fix this problem. Even though I always reset and auto update of listings in the Guide, the result will prove be the same with "no data."

    Windows Media Center has given me many error messages:

    Windows Media Center

    "Windows Media Center has corrected a problem with your registration data and will download the Guide even once. You should review your records to make sure they are always planned properly. »

    Failed to download

    "The new TV configuration data could not be downloaded. Existing data, if any, will be used as you continue by configuring the TV signal. »

    Downloadable guide is not available

    "Downloadable TV Program Guide listings are not available due to previous failures of download. For more information, right-click on the Windows Media Center system tray icon and open Windows Media Center update log. Select back to try again. You may be able to get the TV show lists, if they are available. »

    Guide download error

    "The Guide could not be downloaded. For more information, then Windows Media Center system tray icon right-click and open Windows Media Center update log. »

    I can watch TV on the computer using Windows Media Center and manually record TV shows, but it is difficult for me to record TV shows without ads Guide on Windows Media Center.

    Note to update (as of August 2, 2015):

    The Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads was already programmed by zap2it until July 21. After July 21, zap2it is no longer can update the lists Guide for Windows Media Center.

    July 23, Rovi Corporation's new Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for Windows Media Center Guide ads.

    From 23 July, listings in Windows Media Center Guide is running back to normal for Windows 7 users.

    My Guide Panel is equipped with a selector more [on the listings in the Guide] where is the expiration date. I hope that Microsoft does not support Windows 7 WMC.

    Please don't waste your time trying to solve the WMC, it is the expiration of the license that is causing the problem. I know it's frustrating.

    On the other hand, is - can anyone say with certainty that WMC is available on Windows 10? No charge for the upgrade to Windows 7?

    The way I see it, not providing the function of key in W7 WMC guide is motivation upgrading to W10, assuming that WMC is available.

    Hopefully Microsoft will give us the fix for WMC in W7.

  • Windows Media Center could not update Playready after that kb3004394 has been installed.

    Windows Media Center could not update Playready after that kb3004394 has been installed.  I then uninstalled kb3004394 and tried everything I can find on the web for difficulty playready including this procedure

    Nothing worked and I'm pulling my hair out.  I use WMC with an HDHomeRun and a map of Time Warner cable.  This facility worked well for more than a year before installing this update.  The machine is a Dell XPS 8300 running windows 7 SP1.   I'm unable to watch all channels protected by DRM and I lost all my legally registered content.  It is a disaster and cost me 30 hours and counting.  Anyone have any ideas?

  • Windows Media Center has stopped finding the info guide

    I have Windows Media Center in Windows 7

    It worked very well for a few years, but about 2 months ago it stopped to show the guide.

    When I set to manually record a string at a certain point it works very well.

    I also think that, when I looked in the section regular programs, it shows programs at the request of record (I can check to confirm cela if nec.), but when I go on the Guide grid, maybe 1 or 2 channels appear and IE not avaiable

    I have confirmed that the time is correct and tried to restart, and refresh the guide - but nothing has worked.

    I contacted Zap2It - but they said that it is the Windows Media Center, causing the problem. -any help is appreciated.

    FYI - I just did a full rescan of the tuner and channels - and now it works.

    It may be useful

  • Windows Media Center will not update EPG beyond 3 February 2016 UK

    I'm running Windows 7 on a PC with TV tuner that is connected to our TV. The EPG ceased to update and shows nothing more than Wednesday, Feb. 3.

    I tried the update of the EPG by following the steps suggested in the help section and other forums. WMC said it has updated successfully each time, but it didn't.

    What could I do next? Or is it an alter program that can play and record TV in a similar way to WMC?

  • Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center?

    Is there a file where are stored the data pause & rewind live TV in Windows Media Center? More to the point - how can I save the time shift buffer in WMC?

    I would like to know if it is possible to find the data that Windows Media Center is to store during her watch TV Online. I don't speak data WMC stores by itself to allow the use of the function of pause & rewind live TV, how to find files that you have saved yourself by pressing the Red record button.

    For example, I often live TV playing on the computer in the background while I do something else. Can I see or hear a brief fact/clip/segment of interest that flashes by and I think, ' I wish I had recorded that. " If I go back to the bit I wanted to capture and hit record, it will not capture the part I want, it will start recording from the point, the program has achieved in real time.

    Does anyone know where the actual data of the TV are kept so that I can retrieve these clips that interest me, but were never recorded by me manually? I found the "TempRec" in the folder "Recorded TV" - anyone know how to convert this video (if indeed it is the location where you store temporary data for pause & rewind live TV)?

    If not, is it possible to enable a feature in WMC, which automatically starts the recording of TV channels as soon as you go to them? This way I can record everything, then just cut all the scenes of interest using Movie Maker. If not, are there other Win7 compatible programs that will do this?

    Thank you.

    Apparently, there is a way to achieve the goal.

    A nice gentleman from the Germany wrote dll that create a "time-shift buffer recording" add-in for WindowsMedia Center (for Vista and XP only) which can be found at:

    http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/p/3...83.aspx#162083

    For Windows 7, there would currently be via a 3rd party of program, i.e. PowerCinema 6, which records from any point in the time shift buffer zone - I don't know why Microsoft has not also incorporated this feature into WMC for have other programs third 3rd (including EyeTV for the Mac).

    Unfortunately, suggestions from another forum to change file extensions in .tmp .dvr-ms TempSBE and double-click on the file to read the file of time lag in WMC, does not work in Windows 7 x 64 (the message in this forum has been regarding the Vista x 64), however, I have not tried with other versions of Windows - I would like to know if anyone has had some luck using this method.

    Even if it had worked, I think I would have always preferred the usability and features of a program that does the job for me, like Power Cinema - damage, it could not have been WMC. What do you think?

    Thank you.

    Hi Globaltime,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 are you able to access the programs in the start menu?

    Method 1

     

    Run the fix it available in the below Microsoft article and check if it works.

    When you run an .exe on a Windows Vista-based or Windows 7 computer file, the file may start another program

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    Method 2

    If the previous step fails, then you need restore the file associations for programs that are open with Windows media center.

  • Failed to read DivX AVI on Windows Media Center

    I recently set up Windows Media Center on my Vista Home Premium SP1 Dell inspiron 1720 to try to distribute multimedia content for my new Xbox 360 Elite.

    He agreed with success the extender of the Xbox, but on the Xbox video files and photo show as empty althouough, it can stream music from the laptop with no problems.

    When I returned to my dell, I saw that my AVI DivX files do not appear in the Media Center or locally, and no more my photos! The only items that he picks up are subfolders in the folders that I added. If I run a DivX AVI movie through a Windows Explorer shell, Media Center will play that music, as if missing the codec - even if Media Player 11.0.6001.7004 has no problem with the even if I close Media Center and then open the file again.

    SO why don't media library on Vista SP1 manage photos jpeg from Sony and Canon caeras, and why he can't play back AVI DivX in? Any help gratefully accepted! :)

    Thank you!

    Chris I am playing my AVI videos by Media Center windows (using vista ultimate 32 bit) via my xbox 360, does not.  I have Xbox Live but Media Center is still telling me that it does not recognize the codec.  If my AVi files playback is possible-how?  Is - not more easy if I just update for windows media center in Windows 7?
