Windows media center program guide?

yesterday, I had to reinstall windows vista from the ground upward. I went to set up my tv and tv tuner/cable program guide in order to record and watch TV on my computer. Everything went through everything as before until I opened the guide to record programs at future dates. I noticed that the program guide was off of 3 hours. Example: the news on showed 23:00 to 20:00 on the guide and so on. I reinstalled, changed the area and zip codes to see if it worked, and nothing has changed. I disabled the box of cable/reset of the top box/internet connection / computer also. I am up to date on all windows downloads that are needed. I just do not know where to go from here. If anyone has had this problem and if yes, how do solve you this problem? Thanks in advance for any help of suggestions that I have not already tried is grateful.

Hi nancyturnbaugh,

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forums.

What is the time showing correctly on the PC?

If it is adjusted to the correct time zone?

Have you checked the time in the BIOS?

I have the feeling, the time zone is not set correctly (example: the list demonstrate PST time even if you follow IS). However try to save these files and restart the computer and check the media library.

1 close Media Center
2 click on the start menu, choose run and type cmd
3 run the command regsvr32.exe atl.dll
4 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched /unregServer
5. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched
6 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr /unregServer
7. run the command/service C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr
8 run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe /unregServer
9. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRec.exe/regserver
10. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe /unregServer
11. run the command C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehmsas.exe/regserver
12 restart Media Center

Have you tried to contact the cable company?

Other users have had the same problem and it was fixed by the cable company. I suggest that you try to contact first, and make sure that everything is correct on their end.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards.

  • 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.

  • Where to go to set the channel missing from the Windows Media Center Program Guide

    Hi people,

    Hoping that someone like Barb Bowman (or a person with any with any part of the Windows Media Center team still it exists) can help me with this.  I'm missing a channel in my programming.  His 668 (Discovery HD) channel, and my program guide is for Seattle, Comcast King County South (digital). I spoke with Comcast, with Ceton Corp (manufacturing of my digital cable tuner card) and with Zap2it (info guide provider program for WMC).  All of them confirm what a) 668 is in my registration, b) 668 is tunable my card, and c) 668 announces are included in the current program guide data from Zap2it.  My data to guide program is also completely updated according to WMC. Zap2it has suggested that I use this site to submit the question to Microsoft:

    https://connect.Microsoft.com/site1145

    I saw other, older messages in this community to refer people to this website as well.  Well, whatever used to be here for your comments seems to have been taken down.  I can connect, I can click on the link «Studies», but the surveys page lists no surveys underway or completed.

    Will there be a new favorite way to indicate this type of problem?  Please help me to connect with the right resources at Microsoft to resolve this issue.

    Thank you!

    When I watched the recorded TV programs, I realized that no programs have been registered since May 1, 2012.

    Sometimes, Windows Media Center would not be able to download Guide data. In general, this happens for the following reasons:

    (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.

  • Windows 7. How can I remove the Windows media Center programs recommended in the "Open with" section?

    I select which application (Word, Excel, etc.), they all open with Windows Media Center. This happened recently and I don't know how to cancel it. I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to "choose the program you want to use to open this file. How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group?

    "I see the Windows Media Center in the 'Open with' box where it asks you to"choose the program you want to use to open this file"." How I remove it from the section "recommended programs"? »

    A pretty easy regedit should remove an application from the section "recommended programs". Here is a procedure step by step on how to do it. Unfortunately, I don't think that will solve your problem. What seems actually to have occurred is either your .lnk .exe (or maybe both) have inadvertently been associated with WMC. Out of the list of the programs recommended for the open with dialog box will not change. In fact, the next time that you open the program, it will open in WMC and add automatically return a program recommended in the open with dialog box.

    There really should not be whatever it is that you open a .lnk or .exe with because you really don't want to open them... you want to run. To determine if the .lnk or .exe associated with wrong, you can either watch the extension file associations in the control panel > programs, or you can see if it's a shortcut or the actual executable file that does. Need to know who, or if she is at the same time, in order to complete the fix.

    Once you know it, this link will show you how to restore the default file type link. Matter of fact, now that I think of it, it wouldn't hurt to just restore default settings for .lnk and .exe.

    "I see that Internet Explorer is also in this section. What should be there as well? What actually belongs to this group? " I may be wrong, but I do not believe, you should really see anything in the open with dialog for a .lnk or .exe. Again, you don't want to really not open them... you want to run. The shortcut .lnk file goes to the executable and runs the .exe program.

  • Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

    I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

    Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

    I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

    What is Microsoft doing about this?

    Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

  • Windows Media Center TV Guide ads

    I'm in the United Kingdom. TV Guide lists seem to have stopped updating. My listings end tomorrow morning (1 January 2013). The company that generates the list of the UK said that updates have been transferred to Microsoft, and there should be 15 days available. My task set show that the update process runs correctly on my computer.

    This, I guess that Microsoft has a problem and is currently not updated its lists.

    Does anyone know if this can be solved?

  • Windows Media Center Guide - no data

    After doing an update, windows media center TV guide display more data... said 'No data available' went to settings, put in place the guide... guide downloads, but will not display the show there. ????

    What day?

    If this value is the cause might find you it under Add/Remove programs? If, then uninstall it and check again the question.

    You can also "Run Setup Again" [Open WMC > tasks > settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > run Setup again]

    You can also try the system restore.

    Select any restore point when everything worked well.

  • Guide to Windows Media Center (Vista x 64) will not download

    The Windows Media Center TV guide stopped downoading automatically. When I try to load it manually nothing happens at all.  The Guide is now Virgin complelety (each channel does say "No data found") so I can't save this upcoing view shows, nothing.

    I found the answer here:

    In particular, follow these steps:

    This happens because the mcupdate.exe process, downloading tv setup data, is not active which should have run automatically during the installation of the tv. So make a shortcut on the desktop with this path "C:\Windows\ehome\mcupdate.exe-manuel - nogc Pei" and run it. Everything will be fine.
