• Netflix will not load up to in Windows Media Center more.

  I've had Netflix service for about two months now. Up to two days, I was able to stream movies through Netflix and Windows Media Center option. Now it will not load anything. It will allow me to connect to Netflix, but I can't get something and my instant queue will not charge.

  I get a message stating:

  NO INTERNET CONNECTION:

  The internet connection has been lost. Make sure that your computer is connected to the internet, and then try again.

  Problem is that I'm connected to the internet. (If I was not logged in, they would not connect to Netflix in the first place.)

  I had even gone to the Media Center General settings to test the internet connection and it says that the internet actually works.

  What is going on? I missed something?

  You can try a system restore on the eve of the update has been installed and see if
  the problem is resolved. Nothing in the update that fell from Netflix,
  but you can certainly try a restore. A restore is a good troubleshooting step
  for beginners.

I also appreciate the link provided, but I tried why they suggested, and it did not work. I noticed that there is an update for the Media Center a few days ago. Could this be very probably why Netflix doesn't work anymore?

• Key export and Re - installing Windows Media Center Edition

  My hp zd7269cl laptop comes with Windows Media Center Edition version 2002. Now these discs are long gone but I bought oem recovery disks but he said media center 2005. Will I have trouble validating my code the product key (on the bottom of my laptop) after a clean install on new hard drive, because they are records of 2005. Also the driver disks don't work with what is installed on my computer.

  The key and the disc should work, but you may need to activate by phone. Regarding the drivers I check the web site of the support of the factory (for your make and model) and download in a folder or a flash drive and use them and not what the disk you have. Note: Install the driver chipset first, then the remiaing drivers, save the graphics driver for the end.

• How can I fix my Windows Media Center

  My Windows Media center to disappear from my computer I already looked everywhere in all programs and windows and nothing features on or off. my computer came with this program, but suddenly its gone I have not now how to get it back. I know that I have not uninstalled it.

  Hi Oscarlo2,

  Same thing happened to me. It could be as simple as another media player, be affected as your default player. My OS is Windows Vista, so I had to go through the following steps:
  Control Panel > programs > by default of the programs > set your default programs
  Windows Media Center should always be which are listed there. Once you is like Media Player by default, it should appear immediately.
  I know that this has been posted a year ago, but if still you have your Media Center, I hope this helps.

• Windows media center is missing

  poof, it was gone.

  This may help - http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-reinstall-windows-media-center-in-windows-7/ if all goes well. If its still checked, then try to uncheck - reboot - tick - restart.

  If this does not help, try SFC / scannow and see if that helps.

  Or maybe a restore before that point it went past 'poof '.

• Windows Media Center "to listen or look at a conflict"... does not recognize the TV tuner

  I have completely exhausted the forum Windows Media Center for response to the resolution of this problem. I replaced my unit ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Ready, as well as my graphics card tuner, and WMC still says 'No TV Tuner Found"and the message" listen or look at a conflict - no tuner available to meet the current demand "when I try to watch live TV. I have also a "no tuner hardware detected... Please ensure equipment is installed correctly...» "if I try to set up the TV Tuner again.

  I don't think that my answer lies in Windows Media Center or hardware from ATI. I'm now trying to figure out if it involves this feature installed at the factory of HP listed on the bottom of my computer: "GENUINE WINDOWS VISTA HOME Premium TUNER DIGITAL". I understand that it is the software and hardware.

  I would be grateful if anyone has answers. If anyone knows what this function is that was installed at the factory, and how I can uninstall and reinstall the software and replace the hardware, I understand that too.

  Thank you

  After unsuccessfully trying everything I could find that had the potential to solve my problem, I finally solved the problem myself.

  It's actually a corrupted Windows file that allows my TV tuner, which caused all my problems. I reinstalled my Vista operating system to its original state, and now the ATI TV tuner works fine. Easier said than done.

• No big screen in Windows Media Center on Qosmio G10-133?

  Hello

• Windows Media Center - why it cannot detect TV?

  I used Qosmioplayer and it detects the TV from my Sky Digibox very well signal. However, I would like to record TV with my laptop and when I try to set up the TV using Windows Media Center, it cannot detect anything. I tried every possible permutation and the manual does not give pointers...

  Why the Qosmiplayer works for the entrance to Sky TV, but not the media library?

  Please help it's driving me crazy!

  I assume you are using a lead of areal coaxial standard to connect to your sky box? If so, you need to know which way the sky is coming in the. To do this, use the Qomsio drive to search for channels and when it detects the signal from Sky, it will tell you which way it is passed on. Something like channel 36. OK, now you have this information, start the machine and go into Media Center. You must manually add this channel. As Media center works with the EPG, all channels such as the skyinput must be added.

  So, in the main menu, go to

  Settings > TV > Guide > add missing channels > add channel

  Now enter the channel name you want displayed when viewing. IE SKY.

  Now you enter the channel number 36 IE that you got the Qosmio engine. This will now be held on the next available channel. IE 6/7/8 etc. Everything do you now is go to the channel and it appears at the entrance to heaven.

  Hope this helps

• Qosmio G40 - 10F: how to set up double Tv Tuner in Windows Media Center

  Hello

  I recently bought a 10th G40 and I was wondering how to set up dual Tv Tuner in Windows media Center to watch and record the Tv at the same time.
  I tried to download the new driver from the Toshiba download page, but it seems to make no difference that Media Center does not give me the ability to configure 2 tuners.

  Any help would be grateful

  Hello

  Found this useful Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/footnotes.mspx

  Take a look at the chapter * M *-> on MCE

  You can find this info:
  + Reading and TV recording features require a USB TV tuner or external. Supports up to two TV tuners +.

  So in my opinion, you cannot record TV and watch another channel at the same time using only the internal TV tuner.
