(b) in the left pane, click on allow a program or feature through Windows Firewall
c. click on change settings.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
d. Select the checkbox next to windows media center, select the network locations that you want to allow communication, and then click OK.

    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?

    First of all, there is not - and has never been - anywhere to download a legal copy of any version of Windows XP...

    Second, Windows XP Media Center Edition was available as a pre-installed OEM operating system (for example, Dell, HP, Gateway, etc.).  If you wanted a computer with MCE, you should have bought one with MCE.  In the unlikely case where your second-hand computer comes from an OEM and it came originally with MCE (look at the sticker on the box), it is possible, at a distance, the same manufacturer can provide the installation media necessary for a price.

    If the video card in the computer is able to drive the "big flat screen", then you have nothing else (assuming that the computer meets other material).  See http://www.ehow.com/info_8204776_needed-netflix-streaming-work.html and http://www.ehow.com/how_7561774_stream-netflix.html

    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.

    There is no such thing as a download of MCE to XP Pro or home.

    You may be able to find an upgrade, if you search the Web.

    Operating system upgrades are not a good way to go, always better to have the full version.

    Since MCE is an older version, you can find now a lot cheaper than it used to be.

I did a lot of research trying to find a solution and made a "Auto fix" download as well as in numerous trouble shooting research and reinstall nothing doesn't. I noticed a few other forums on this subject, but they all just claim that it does not appear on their Xbox and so the question never gets answered.
