Windows Media Center record the wrong channel.

I have windows 7 with Windows Media Center.  I get my signal through a TV tuner card.  My signal is a local digital cable.  For some time I get recording wrong channel and can't understand why.  I try to save channel 12.1 by choosing the show on the guide and introduction to the record.  When I go to view the recording, she carries the name of the program that I tried to register, but rather records channel 5.  I check the stats and it said it was channel 12.1.  I rarely watch channel 5, so it would not have been set to that channel instead.  I also close media center and it works in the background.  I'm puzzled.

By "How's your live TV feature", I meant "on your Media Center." ;)

Given what you have said here and in your other thread, I would say new TV Setup running (and you might find yourself wanting to "rerun Media Center Setup."  The latter will force a reset of the entire configuration of MC; Sometimes, to run the installation of TV is not entirely clear the previous TV config.)

As your local cable company has made an overhaul of their system, you may need to redo the TV Setup to have any chance of your Media Center properly reflecting the changes.

HTH,

Chris

  • Can I watch a show that is currently recording in Windows Media Center since the beginning of this show?

    I use Windows Media Center to record TV shows.  Suppose I record a show in an hour at 6:00, and I decide to 06:10 I want to watch this show from the beginning. (while it's recording)

    Is it possible to do this in Windows Media Center?  The media file of the recording of the show is not accessible until it is 100% finished recording.

    I am looking for a way to watch a show while it's recording, but to do so since the beginning of the show (after the start of recording)

    Thank you

    Hello

    Im sure that you can watch TV recordings during live TV recording, but you can't watch a program during its course of recording.

  • Windows Media Center - recorded not from TV Signal, but TV signal is good

    Windows Media Center record regular shows without problem until last week. Now I have to manually press record for each show, because the Scheduler is almost completely useless, the TV signal is absolutely perfect. Once I pressed record manually, it records very well.

    In regular history, the error is not recorded: no TV Signal

    This is simply not true. I noticed that this can happen, in particular, to the HD recordings. But the signal is always good.

    I tried to delete the programmed recording file but no change.

    I don't know what happened, I left my PC off overnight and planned reformatting today. But I decided to give him another chance. Instead of saying the tuner was not available. He showed me a static snow image strong, as he was trying to use my Analogue tuner. In fact, it is supposed to use the composite input for my cable box. I re set my TV signals, and now everything works well again. Its strange because I reboot half a dozen times last night and it's never worked. Leaving the PC turned off for the night must have done the trick, I guess.

  • Xbox 360 scan windows media center for the new music?

    I just added some new music to my windows media center and the music does not appear on my xbox 360. is there a way to synchronize?

    Hi nwills,

    Ideally, the Xbox 360 should automatically scan if new music is added to Windows Media Center. However, you can also manually synchronize as follows.

    a: you can connect the Xbox. The Xbox Dashboard, select 'My Xbox', then select 'Windows Media Center' to receive the eight-digit code. This code allows your Xbox to recognize your media player on your computer.

    b. you can set up Windows Media Center on your PC. Click on the "tasks" and select "Add Extender". A screen will appear asking you to enter the eight digit of your Xbox 360 code.

    c. play music on your Xbox. Select 'Windows Media Center' in the menu 'My Xbox' and start playing music.

    Hope the helps of information. Please post back and we do know.

  • During the registrationof windows media Center recording error

    I just reinstalled Windows XP pro on my laptop using the support disc that comes with it.  Formatted the C drive and installed.  At half way through a message "errors of recording when recording in Windows Media Center." For more information, see - windows/medctroc.log.

    After accepting this installation on board after starting a box came up with "Starting windows first time.»  Please wait. "Nothing happened and I ended up re start it manually.

    Another view "configure."  Windows Update - dot.net .net service pack 1.1 - dot - restart

    Yet once I had to reboot manually.

    error came: sl1a.tmp common language runtime debugging services application has generated an exception that could not be treated have id = 0x4e0 (1248), thread id = 0x4fo (1264)

    When widows finally came message read - system will restart - not found ngen.exe entry - point and then - get asked the version of the runtime could not be found in the dynamic binding.

    I open IE and try to get updates and a message says "the requested lookup key was not found any active activation context.»

    I managed to install Opera, but that is not enough with Microsoft update.  Could someone please help?

    This looks like one of three things is unhealthy

    (1) your installation disc

    (2) your RAM

    (3) your hard drive,

    You must test each and then determine if its more cost effective to replace the unit or machine.

    (1) test the drive in another machine with IsoBuster - an analysis of surface and find if everything is OK if there are some errors present

    (2) tΘlΘcharger a RAM www.memtest.org - run at least 8 passes Tester and see if errors appear

    (3) download the utility from control of the manufacturer of the HD and create the bootable CD - do a quick scan and then the long scan of the hard drive and see what it reports.

  • When you use Windows Media Center on the Xbox 360 DVD have not given chapter.

    After finally finding many questions I have my Xbox Media Extender and running upward and only this question left.

    I'm ripping my DVD to single file .vob she seems to like and plays very well, but it is only with the file movie and nothing else in the record.  How the XBOX sees it, the bed and he plays very well.  However I have no control outside the break and if I restart it takes over the job.

    Now if I rip my DVD with the .bup .ifo files in this folder the XBOX instantly he shoots in the list of the DVD and it will not play.

    When I use Windows Media Center on my PC it preforms even when the film is in the folder.  Then when I add bup and ifo data I can still play, but he has all data in the chapter that I need.  Shows all the chapters, allows me to jump as I please.

    How can I get my XBOX to behave like my PC?  I have to remove these 4 files in/out of the folder to see pop in and out of my list of XBOX.  How can I get the XBOX to validate data, so my movies actually have chapters and ignore the controls?

    Thank you

    Chris

    Hello, wilsman00

    As mentioned, by changing the VOB files, the data in the chapter are probably damaged. This can be confirmed by putting in a retail DVD in the drive and play directly from the DVD.

    Anyone know how to fix this? Or otherwise, I just want to use my computer to watch TV on, and if I can do this other method other than Windows Media Center free I am happy to do.

  • How can I burn a DVD in Windows Media Center with the closed captioning information included?

    I recorded a program in Windows media center.  When I read the program, it displays the closed captioning information.  If I burn a DVD program closed captioning information do not display during playback.  How can I burn the DVD to include captioning?

    Hello
     
     
    1. How do you try to burn the DVD? You have saved the DVD on the desktop (hard drive) or you burnt before you save it to a DVD?
    2. after are burning the DVDs in which application you trying to play?

    I suspect that the captions are already burned in DVD, at this point in time we can cross check if the option is set to display captions.
    To enable or disable subtitles for DVD
    a. on the Windows Media Center start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click DVD and then click subtitle.
    b. click the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons to select power off or when cut, and then click Save.
     
    For more information, refer to the article below.

  • Windows 7, Windows Media Center and the library of music/photos/videos folders

    I like the 'Libraries' feature in Windows 7.

    You know the one - one which includes "Public Images" and "My pictures" and what I want in a single 'Photos' folder in Explorer.
    However, it looks like Windows Media Center is tired directly according to the definitions in the library of my user id.
    If I remove 'My pictures' library of Windows Media Center, or even from my XBox 350 Media Center Extender in the living room.  It removes a library of images for my UserID on the PC.
    It's embarrassing. Because, in general, I want only the media center to search for media in public folders. But when records navigation using windows Explorer that I want to see too well 'My' and 'Public' files aggregated in libraries as usual.
    To sum up: how to configure Media Center to analyze only the public folders without changing the definitions of on my PC library to contain only public folders?
    If this can be done - can I at least do so the Extender sees only public folders and not mine, once it is configured? (I figured out how to do this, but it's a pain - add a new user name to the computer - configure the Extender by using that user - and then the extender will see not all documents under MY personal login at least.)
    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    I am sorry to say that there are no options to make the changes you need. Scans of Media Center places appears, at this point, is by design.

    Kind regards.
