  Try pressing Alt + Enter or clicking on enlarge / restore button to switch between full screen and windowed mode.

  Are you referring to a Windows Update or the update of the guide in Media Center?

  Because the overclocked hardware can cause a lot of problems, I would recommend resetting hardware overclocked to default speeds.

• Digital Cable Set Top Box connected to the Media Center computer, forced to keep MC on the use of channels 3-cant TV Guide in Media Center to record

  I have to keep the center of the media on channel 3, and the decoder controls the channel I want to watch or record.  For example if I want to record channel 631 21:00 to 23:00 I would say the MC to record channel 3 for as many programs they broadcast between 9 and 23:00.  This process does not allow registration of the MC - guide as it was planned. I have to use the channels on the cable box only and always have the Media Center on channel 3. Is it possible to come back with the MC TV Guide and record by this guide as it was designed to do, while still using the cable set top box or some other Descrambler for replacement by the cable operator?  Basically, the decoder is a decoder which makes us put all our TV on channel 3.  But the cable ready TV I hear do not need the box, they can use another device.  The computer can do the same?  Nobody seems to have no answer to this problem.  Help!?

  I read your question. I asked you what happened when running
  TV Setup and specifically want to know if the TV Setup detected your set top
  Box/decoder and it happened. If Media Center does not automatically detect your decoder,
  have you tried the manual method to learn codes? I'm trying to help you
  features of Media Center EPG.
   
  You must ask the FIOS people if they have the equivalent of a DTA
  offered in the world of cable and OTA.

• How to load Microsoft Media Center TV from inside the Touchsmart request

  Hello

  I would like to be able to run Microsoft Windows Media Center of the Touchsmart software, however I don't seem to be able to add the Windows Media Center application to the list of "Targets" Touchsmart, in fact I thought that this would be already listed as target - but is not...

  In the case, I tried to add it manually in my target field but I get an error in pink bounce foolishly saying

  "The target entry is not valid. If please check spelling and re-enter the target. »

  Here's what I did and would expect it to work, but don't - mind if I get this you right from the start-> execute command or in a shortcut, the command works, it loads and runs the TV without going through the Media Center Start menu...

  In Touchsmart app,...

  1. click on customize

  2. click on add a tile...

  3. click on the type of program, and then click Next button

  4. in the type of field target in:

  C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

  5. in name, enter "TV".

  6. choose an icon in the icon list

  7. click on OK

  (Here is where I get the mentioned error)

  Thanks in advance...

  Laptop HP ENVY 17-j005tx, HP ENVY 27 - k001a, HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G2020T, HP MediaSmart EX495 Server tilt, HP MediaVault 2020, HP ENVY 120 AiO Printer

  In fact, I think I solved the problem!

  I created a link shortcut on my desktop with the command line and then instead to enter the command line for the target to step 4, I entered the link shortcut instead, for example I created the shortcut first and placed it on my desktop with the following command line:

  C:\Windows\EHOME\EHSHELL. EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE

  I named the abbreviation "TV".

  In step 4, I entered the target manually as:

  C:\Users\Jim\Desktop\TV.lnk

  And then the rest of the steps, now I see the tile in Touchsmart and I am able to run the TV in Media Center live!

  But I still don't understand why Microsoft Media Center is not listed in the default target list...

  Cheers... (Yay for me lol)

• Error: "can't stand running in portrait mode" when you try to access Windows Media Center on secondary monitor.

  Title: Media center does not open on the main montitor and closed because school is portrait. How can I fix?

  In Windows Vista Media Center opens on my secondary monitor instead of my main monitor. Because the secondary is in portrait mode that Windows Media closes with the message "does not support running in portrait mode. I disabled the secondary and rebooted Media Center which works well, but I don't want to have to turn off my high school whenever I want to get something in the Media Center... always on the second monitor by default. How to run on the main screen, because it won't let me start if both screens are activated. I have to use my secondary back in fashion landscape to move the Media Center to return to the main Setup screen? It's simply ridiculous from the start.

  Let me answer your line by line:

  > Description of the question, I understand that you have a problem with Windows Media Center on the secondary screen. Let me know if I'm wrong.

  Yes. This is what it says in the title and in the body of the text... was it not QUITE CLEAR.

  > 1) you have made any changes on the computer before this problem?

  What does that mean? Who on Earth has a blank computer that has never been touched running on two monitors? Of course, there has been changes? What exactly you want to know?

  I find this question to a complete loss of all time and wonder what kind of political support requires that ask you such a question absurd. Please fell free link my feelings on this topic to your agency for my account.

  (> 2) which monitor do you have configured as default view? (Primary or secondary)

  The primary is the default value. The secondary could be the value by default if I didn't say that Media Center opens on secondary education and not on HAND (Please read this as default, everyone in the world does) monitor.

  > Method 1: I suggest you to change the display in extended mode and check if the problem persists.

  The display was already in extended mode.

  > Method 2: if the issue continues, I would also suggest update you the drivers for the secondary monitor and make as primary while the other monitor is disabled then try to turn the screen and check if it helps.

  Why update drivers would change anything. It would not be... the problem lies in the reporting to the Media Center of the portrait mode, that has nothing to do with the hardware drivers; they report portrait mode very well, thank you. As for making primary and turning, wondering if there is anything that I could do otherwise than to resort to having to play with the settings of the monitor in the query, and I don't have to make primary of all... just back to the landscape and backward Media Center elementary school. This does not work... but should I have to resort to something which is, more or less, a workaround if the problem lies in the Media Center and not my monitor settings? The answer should be no, and incidentally, Media Center, once started and settled in portrait orientation (in windowed mode, otherwise you couldn't move) works fine, as long as you do not close it while it is still in this mode, because then he will refuse to start for no reason other than the programmer who designed it seems not know beans orientation or multiple monitors. It's funny that although Media Center does not default to the main monitor, it sends the message of demolition to this same screen by default.

  To the people looking at the end who will not read everything above... it is what to do:

  Back secondary to landscape mode and launch Media Center. Put the Media Center in windowed (not fullscreen) mode and move it will remind the main monitor... it will require a bit of hocus-pocus with the mouse if you cannot put the monitor physically return to the landscape, try it, you'll see. Close Media center so that it restarts next time it opens on the main screen. Reset the secondary back to portrait. VOILA! See you soon. (Please read this as a courtesy and not as applause.)

• Recording in Windows media center mode 'sleep'

  Original title: record in hibernate or standby mode

  Will be windows media center recording a first HDHomeRun in "sleep" or hibernation mode?

  Hey, Logan,

  Windows Media Center records the first home run HD programs or any which TV tuner installed. However, you may need to follow a few rules.

  -If you turn off your computer, Windows Media Center does not have a regular program. The computer must be turned on or "standby mode" to record a television show. The computer will not automatically in standby mode if Windows Media Center is open.

  
  -Make sure that you turn off the screen and lower or turn off the sound if you have one at the request of a record in the middle of the night and don't want to be disturbed.

  -Your scheduled recording may not save in the following situation: schedule you a recording in Windows Media Center to start in less than ten minutes, close Windows Media Center and put your computer into standby or hibernation mode immediately. Use or one of the following options to save your record programmed:

  a. do not close Windows Media Center before you put your computer on standby or hibernation.
  b. after having programmed a recording, wait a minute before you put the computer in standby or hibernation.

  Original title: lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected)

  Have lost the TV Program Guide in Windows Media Center (clock on PC can not also follow GMT... dunno if they are connected). Have messed around with all the settings, but can't seem to recover these items.

  Hi Liljools,

  1. When did you start to question?

  Step 1:

  Try to configure the guide once more and check if it helps. The configuration guide, follow these steps:

  a. on the start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide listings.

  b. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

  c. If you are prompted to select a provider of TV services, and you do not know which one to select, control a recent draft Bill or statement from your TV service provider to find the appropriate information.

  d. the providers listed in Windows Media Center vary according to the Postal Code or ZIP. If the supplier subscribe is not listed for the ZIP or the Postal Code entered, try entering local codes find the appropriate Guide listings.

  Step 2:

  You can also manually download the latest Guide information and check.

  a. on the screen start, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then get latest Guide listings.

  Hello Christian Santana.

  If karena information do not help to solve your Media Center doesn't work is no problem, you can try to see if creating a new user account
  will help you get WMC works for you. I have seen several questions when a damaged user account has caused problems with WMC.

  You can also try and see if you have any 3rd party codecs that can interfere with WMC. You can uninstall by Add/Remove programs in the control panel.

  If you need a list of the codecs installed on your computer, follow these steps:

  1. on the Help menu, click about Windows Media Player.

  If the Help menu is not visible, show the Classic Menus.

  2. in the dialog box on Windows Media Player, click Technical Support information.

  Your Web browser opens a page that contains information about the related binary files, codecs, filters, plug-ins and services installed on your computer.

  I hope this helps.

  Sincerely,

  Marilyn
