• Windows Media Center showing the gray screen (no picture but sound OK)

  Hi everyone, I had a problem with Windows Media Center for several weeks now: when I try to watch television, either recorded or live (from my tuner), WMC shows a square white gray but audio works fine. Trying to open the .wtv files in WMP has similar problems - presenting a black screen but with complete audio. Other files video (I tried .avi and .wmv) still work correctly. WMC was playing TV files without a problem until one day, it just stopped working. There wasn't that no updates not installed that startup and the system has been installed costs less than a week before the problem started.

  After spending a whole week looking for solutions online, there seem to be many people who have had this problem, but all have been fixed by different methods, and none of them seem to work here. I will list what I tried: installation and reinstallation of different codec packs, reinstall the WMC, uninstall and then reinstall all the Turners and the graphics drivers, setting the parameters within the WMC, graphics cards settings adjustment. I also tried to make a 'fresh' start (no extra service, just basic Microsoft services) to try and see if a particular service is causing the problem, but even in these conditions, the problem persists.

  I hope someone can help, if you need more information, let me know.

  Database Rebuild Windows Media Center. Here are the steps- follow carefully.

• 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.

• Update of Windows Media Center electronic Program Guide only to July 22, 2015.

  Electronic Program Guide (EPG of my Windows 7 Media Center PC) ceased to be updated since July 15, 2015. I manually download updated guide to day and it confirms that the download was successful, but the guide has information up to the part of July 22. No information is passed to 20:00 on 22 July.

  This is a temporary problem or should there be a fix for Windows Update?

  Thank you!

  Same thing I had, but this fixed it for me.  Run the installation of media center and set up the new TV signal.  Takes a little everything and some channels is different, but the guide whole is back.  Not sure if I need to reprogram my recordings again.  I hope this works for everyone!

• Window Media Center! 10 GB for TV-record 30 minutes! Go Microsoft!

  As I said in the title, I usually record TV shows so I can watch them after school, then all of a sudden one day I discovered my hard drive was full... I tried to find the problem and found out it was the "recorded tv" folder which is sh * ting my storage. I take a look at the properties and shocks, each tv 30mins record contains 10 GB or more! Go! It is simply not true! No idea how I change it or compress the vid or just convert a .wtv for any folder that's NOT going to s * ck my hard drive! PLEASE...

  For ISDN (the Japan Broadcasting System), I don't know.  But brushing up on the specs, I can see why the size of your file is so huge - the bit rate is, well, pretty high (but, this picture has got to be so pretty!)  With a rate of 51 MB/s per channel, it'll do for some large files in a hurry.
  Here in the United States, ATSC (our over-the-air signal level) has a total ~19.4Mb/s rate (amount of signals of a station - up to 5 programs of the station).  Therefore, smaller file sizes.  (Cable is as a result, most of the time.)

  Why MC just write the bitstream (remember: the signal is already digital, and in a format that it understands) to disc and gives no possibility (at least here) of re - encode a smaller size?  Because it would take considerable processing power to do and would get more heavy you want to compress, or tuners more your are running.
  Is it possible to put MC to compress the signal?  For you, I don't know (but I guess that the answer will be 'no', just as it is here for digital signals.)

  For now, the best advice I can think of for you to get a more concrete answer would be to re - ask the thegreenbutton.com wire (it is recommended that post in the Windows 7 folder in the world).  There are some (not too many, I think; but a few) users to your part of the world who might be able to shed light on it a little more for you.

  Oh, and: I'm sorry for the price of HARD drive.  That sucks.  :(

  HTH,
  Chris

• Windows Media Center not updated guide data

  I tried to restart the Media Center, but when he tried to make a new configuration of the tv he said data could not be downloaded and that it would use existing data.  This must have been the place that is the problem. What should I do now?  My guide data expires tomorrow.

• Windows 7 Media Center - no TV Signal on some channels

  Used to receive channels 7.1 with many others, but now W.M.C. indicates "Not of TV Signal" channel.

  Using an indoor antenna, coax input tuner USB Hauppauge WinTV-HVR - 950Q, and have also installed Hauppauge WinTV v7 associate.  7.1 channel is very well received and all the other available local using WinTV program, but do not using W.M.C.

  W.M.C. and WinTV would block the other off course, so they can be open at once.  When WinTV is closed and W.M.C. is open, shows W.M.C. 7.1 is indeed activated and the signal strength is 6 bar, like all other local channels.  Always 'No Signal TV"in W.M.C. When you try to view 7.1.

  Repeat the "Scan for more channels" and "Set Up TV Signal" does not solve the problem.

  Ideas, anyone?

  Mr. Kumar,

  Thanks for the attempt, but this response does not address the details of the question.

  Channel 7.1 (and 7.2) be fine when I use WinTV and W.M.C. contains a signal strength of strong six - bar for these two channels.

  All the cables and connections are apparently working properly as WinTV works very well.

  W.M.C. has indeed received these two channels correctly in the past, but not now.  It receives all available channels correctly, like WinTV.

  This seems to be something wrong internally within W.M.C.

  Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall W.M.C.?

  Hey there. I had the same problem after installing a new, more powerful antenna. All channels have great strength and quality but 7.1 and 7.2 in the Boston area would behave as if it had a weak signal. After many search my solution was to effectively reduce the output of my power amp. This is an article from Radio Shack (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3780245) containing a gain knob. I declined a bit and everything was fine. If you do not gain control, try to use an attenuator to inline like this (http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=1296f&d=antennas-direct-20db-variable-attenuator-for-vhf-uhf-hd-off-air-reception-1296f&sku=853748001293). I hope this helps.

• Media Center will not register a particular channel, but all other records very well

  Hello, I can not Media Center to record a particular channel unless I am diverted listed steps below.  I get all the live channels.

  -the channel, I can't save is 30.1 in Memphis, TN (subsidiary CW) channel

  -My tuner: AVerMedia AVerMedia Duet - PCTV Tuner (A188 - white box) Interface PCI-Express x 1 MTVHDDUWB

  When I try to record a program at any time on channel 30, Media Center loses signal.

  While playing with it, I discovered that I can click to save while watching channel 30, then after that Media Center loses signal, follow these steps:

  Reach

  Settings/TV/TV Signal / Scan for multiple channels

  So, I have to empty the scanned channels and re-scan.

  Then it will start to record the channel 30.1.

  Help, please!  Why Media Center will not record 30.1 without all this trouble?

  Thank you

  Kris

  Go to settings-guide-add missing channels. Type in right channel # (like 8.1). Then put in the right frequency for the over-the-air station (35 in my case). You can find this info here (http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx) if necessary. Now, you will have 2 channels in guide for 8.1 lists. Right-click on the new guide that lists you just create and go change the channel-edit lists. Change the source from the list to the channel that you have problems with. Next pass parameter-signal digital tv signal strength and a Coachman television that did not properly record to remove the Guide channel. This will fix your problem.

• Is there a better Windows Media Center Live TV Guide that I can download/use?

• TV in Windows Media Center program guide lost and can not keep GMT on clock

  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?

  2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

  3. When was the last time that the clock was followed by time?

  4. have you tried to change the settings of the clock to GMT?

  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.
