Windows Media Center detects digital channels on the air, but will not display them.

To Feb. 1. 2010 my Vista Media Center has changed.  For example 1081 channel is now displayed in 1221.  Other Canadian channels were similarly renumbered.  Guide listings are correct.  The digital signal strength is all green bars.  My TV captures this channel 8.1 very well using the same antenna.  Everything has been working great until this renumbering.  Now only 2 of my 6-channel OTA work!  I love my Media Center for its PVR and want to come back!

Dave, Blaine, WA, 98230 zip

Update.

The downloaded guide information are preferable.  Channel 1081 revives 1081 (instead of 1221), and it works!

To sum up - around February 1, information (channel numbers) for several digital stations guide live has changed, and he followed that I couldn't receive the channels despite all my efforts.  My viewing dropped 5 2 stations.  With the latest download of zip code 98230, I'm at 4.  Good.

There are two problems.  Channel 1021 (CBUTDT) is always numbered in 1581.  Despite the green bars in the "force of the digital signal", there is no photo.  I added manually 1021 nothing helps.  The second problem is that channel KVOSDT 1121 is still called by the BBC-3 guide with no ads, and it is not possible to assign KVOS ads to this channel, which disables the recording.

I have the Olympics in HD, and I'm very happy for that!

  • Windows media center analysis drops channels with the call sign not in the guide

    I'm trying to find the right place to report this problem.

    When library scanned for channels recently that he hasn't found a bunch of DTT hd (clearqam) who are present and unencrypted.

    Scanning with the help of the application of the tv tuner has revealed that the channel was present and unencrypted.

    He showed that the channels have call signs which were not present in the digital guide. that is a call sign was "KPHO HD" when the digital guide for the channel list KPHODT

    I had checked in the list of all channels that find the Media Center and the numbers were not present in media center.

    This seems to be a bug because the channel should be found even if no digital guide for the channel is found.

    The solution is to locate the actual channels by another application.

    Add channels with the guides Add missing channels

    Change the channel to have the correct list and the channel number.

  • Firefox shows upwards on the taskbar but will not maximize when clicking on window

    I tried re installation, but when I click the icon it will appear on the taskbar but will not maximize.

    It is a more detailed explanation of the above.

    Sometimes, a window is "off the screen" somehow. Often, you can force it to appear on the screen by right clicking on the thumbnail image just above the taskbar and choose expand. Does it work?

    A possible cause for this is that the file that stores the positions and sizes of window is corrupt.

    #1 method: If you can get a zoomed window:

    Open the settings folder (AKA Firefox profile) current Firefox help

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

    Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    #2 method: If you can not get a Firefox window for all:

    Close Firefox by right clicking the icon in the taskbar > close all windows.

    Using the Run dialog box (windows key + R) or the search for the start bar menu (or Windows 8.1 may bar charms bar research?) type or paste the following and press ENTER to drill down to the profiles folder:

    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    

    Here you can see a folder - in this case, double-click that - or more than one case - in this case, double-click on in what looks like the most recently updated.

    Scroll down and rename xulstore.json to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename this to localstore.old.

    Launch Firefox back up again. Windows normally appear again?

    Hello Ann,.

    If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

    Compacted Outlook Express and save some of my emails.  Now, I need access to the following, but can not open them.  How to reopen these emails?

    Hi Redtiger1705,

    Lost emails immediately after compact preforming?
    If so, Outlook Express creates BAK files before compaction. They are copied there as a precaution, in case something goes wrong with the compaction. The following steps should help those rear:

    1) open Outlook Express and go to tools, Options, maintenance, store folder. Copy the entire path to the storage folder, and then click OK.  Close Outlook Express.

    (2) go to the basket and search for all files with the .bak extension.  Restore the most recent .bak files. That he will put in the OE store folder, but still like a BAK file.

    (3) click on start, run and paste the path that you copied in step 1 in the run box, and then press ENTER.

    4) click Tools, Folder Options. In the Folder Options window, click the view tab.
    (5) less advanced, uncheck the "Hide extensions for known file types".
    (6) you should see the two sent a Sent Items.dbx from the file as well as the Items.bak. Rename the Sent Items.DBX to Sentold.dbx and Rename Items.Bak sent to Sent Items.DBX. When you open OE, your messages sent items must be restored.
    Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

    I have Lightroom on my iMac and MacBook Air, I just new MacBook Pro, all migrated to Pro air but will not work Lightroom until I have disable it on the Air.  HOW CAN I DO THIS?

    There is no such thing as disabling Lightroom 5.7. Just uninstall the software.

    Looks like you have installed 6 Lightroom on two of your computers (including the MacBook Air). In this case, you must find and launch Lightroom 6 (not Lightroom 5.7 or any other version of Lightroom 5) on the MacBook Air and then in the menu help, select logout.

  • The Windows Media Center Guide data - channels Incorrect after that provider changes Lineup

    8/1, Cox left HD and SD of The BigTen Network 263/1263 channels for their new channels 109/1109 in the Fairfax area (22307). Zap2it again (24 days later) on their old channels.

    WMC is based exclusively on Zap2it lists of channel in order to settle and watch the channels for CableCard card systems, indicating that there is no way to change/add channels manually. For this reason, we have no way to view the right channels until Zap2it updates the range.

    I tried to contact Zap2it directly, but got no response. It is just 2 channels I know immediately, there are more than likely others also. If Zap2it change their lineups accordingly, is a way to manually manipulate the data updates and Zap2it block? If this isn't the case, Microsoft do anything to this topic?

    Hello Brad,

    Thanks for the reply and we update on the State of the question. I'm sorry for the delay in response. I understand that this question is related to a bad configuration parameter between Media Center and Zap2it.

    Microsoft works with suppliers of different channel to make sure that Windows Media Center is running, but in rare scenarios in one or the other setting may not work as expected.

  • Windows Media Center extender on my XBOX works initially, but not after reboot of my XBOX. Error: Failed to connect to the Xbox 360 could not connect to the windows Media Center computer.

    It's VERY odd and very annoying!

    I set up my laptop next to my Xbox 360 with an Ethernet cable directly connecting the laptop to the XBOX, and the laptop is on our wireless network. The XBOX has access to the internet (shared through the laptop), and when I test the PC connection and the connection XBOX Live sound fine to all.

    So I'll try to set up Windows Media Center, it works great! I "Add Extender", put the code to 8 digits. It passes through the installation, all works, no problems and WMC opens on the XBOX, I can go into my library, watch movies etc... works great!

    However! As soon as I turn my XBOX off and back on, it will fail to connect to the WMC.

    He says his 'find Windows Media Center PC' which seems to work fine, it goes to the ' Windows Media Center loading screen "contact...". ", and after about 10 seconds, I get an error"failed to connect the Xbox 360 could not connect to windows Media Center PC. Make sure that the PC is turned on and connected to the network.

    I tried to configure the Extender repeatedly, whenever it works fine until I restart the XBOX... :/ - and its strange cause I still the internet connection (shared through the laptop) after turning on the XBOX, its really JUST Media Center which is screwing around.

    She continues to keep trying to connect then repeatedly fails.

    If I wanted to, I could re-configuration the WMC Extender EVERY TIME turn off the Xbox, which works the first time without fault, but that's all just stupid.

    I can't really understand what is happening here... any help would be appreciated.

    I try to use Windows Media Center, but he has continually detects hidden files.

    The original question was that I didn't include some subfolders, but I did find a way to exclude subfolders, so I tried to hide folders and files.

    Windows Media Center also detects hidden files.

    I have already taken steps to clear the Media Player information in AppData and am at a total loss.

    Currently using Media Center Version 12 on Windows 7 Professional Edition

    What hidden files? How your library is organized? What do you want
    hide from MCE?
     
    Move the item to one location other than the default location and do not add

    Microsoft abandoned Internet TV for Windows Media Center in September 2012. So you will need to use IE.
