• My 'Windows Media Center' does not detect the signal Uverse

  After my reading a previous post, I tried manually configuring in antenna / analog and all I get is static.  It seems that I am unable to go back and try again.

  How you set up Uverse to 720 Lenovo?  I ran it through HDMI but want to run via the Media Center.

  Hello

  Thank you for the question to Microsoft Community. I'll give my best to help you.

  What is the accurate and complete error message you get?

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  a. open Windows Media Center.
  b. click 'Continue' on the Media Center configuration page, then choose "Custom".
  c. Select "System requirements" and Windows Media Center will check your connection network and U-Verse. Click on 'Next' to continue the installation and access to optional "Installation."
  d. Select "Set Up My media centers" on the optional configuration screen. Click "next".
  e. add multimedia files to Windows Media Center. Select one or all the following folder options: music, photos, videos, recorded TV or movies, and then click "next".
  f. Select "Add files to library" and click "next". Choose the folders you want to add to Windows Media Center. Click "Finish" when you are finished adding content.

• Windows Media Center does not record the calendar.

  Planning to record a program, but sometimes lapsed time up to the point where it does not record. I am running Windows 7 Home. Yes, I checked preferences but which differs only up to 15 minutes max.  I have reinstalled twice already. Why please?

  Hello

  (1) did you make any changes before the show?

  (2) what is the brand and model of the computer?

  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.

  I would have you refer to the article below:

• Windows Media Center Guide not updated lists of TV of Zap2It passed tuesday.21.07.15

  Overview: Windows Media Center (WMC) is provided to ads of TV via the WMC Guide, of Zap2It.  If you go on the website of Zap2It TV listings *, about 2 weeks ago from future TV ads.  When the WMC Guide is set to day, & functions correctly, these same 2 weeks of TV programs are downloaded into WMC.  If we could use the Zap2It site to schedule the recording of television programs, then we would not need the WMC Guide to download.

  It is very early Sunday asof this announcement; the WMC Guide didn't really update for about 9 days... There's only TV ads through Tuesday, in about 3 days.  The update of the WMC Guide seems to work fine, it connects with the site or the source or whatever/where he gets the Guide of... but they say, "The PSE Listing is already up to date", even if, obviously, is NOT "up-to-date".  I'm getting now, 'you only have 3 days of registration!, you must update the Guide!' scare-messages every time I go to the WMC, and I click on update the Guide, but all also when I manually run it, just as when WMC runs automatically update Guide, it isn't actually updated!

  To be clear: I use Win7Pro64bit; -ALL-all the updates, Windows software & if not, are daily checked & constantly kept up to date; There has been no changes to the computer, & it works like a dream; WMC works the same, the update of the WMC Guide works exactly the same, the only exception being that, "that the EPG Listings package is already updated" thing, when he has actually updated the WMC Guide.

  So Please do not post those standard, boilerplate answers for updating Windows & or by disabling caches & or such other hoax explosive...  The problem is almost certainly with the Microsoft, Windows, WMC, Zap2It interface.

  You can go on the site Web of Zap2It * yourself!, go!, see for yourself!, the next 2 weeks of TV programs are here!...

  ... then, why are not those TV ads- already & always present -are actually downloaded to WMC?, why isn't the WMC Guide updated?

  ... Thank you!

  Hello hank1111,

  You can see this thread, including the recent responses, the bottom of page 3 I think:

  Guide not updated Windows Media Center

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/windows_xp-pictures/Windows-Media-Center-Guide-not-updating/8721f207-A694-43CE-bf38-6105968af080

  I'm NOT an expert on these things, but so are ' twisted my arm, I'd suggest the possibility of you as I did to RW:

  «If you still have your Windows OS CD maybe you could try to remove & then reinstalling Windows Media Center entirely?...» I don't know there's a way to do it, but you do not want explicit instructions of any part/whatever ' one who knows what they have everything.  Also, if it is possible to do a total removal/uninstall & reinstall, - vs - a sort of "repair", I'd do the full thing, that simple "repair" can let WMC Guide EPG old and outdated files that could bring you a right of return to the same sorry state of affairs! »

  ... hank good luck!

• 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.

• "Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled"

  I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition and Windows Media Center gives me an error that reads "Windows Media Center is not installed correctly and must be reinstalled." When I try to install Windows Media Player from the Microsoft website I gives me an error saying I need to download "Update cumulative 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition". Once I have download, I get a different error message indicating that I have to download '.NET Framework 1.1 and .NET Framework 1.2 SP1' before I can continue with the update for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I download that and received a message that is not a valid Win32 application. I can not understand what is happening or how to fix it. I thought about uninstalling and reinstalling, but over the years, I lost track of the product key.  Does anyone know how can I fix? Thank you, in advance.

• Windows Media Center will not scan digital channels using a dual tuner (analog/digital)

  I have an AverMedia Volar Max tuner which is analog and digital double Windows 7 Professional
  Media Library 'sees' the tuner as an analog tuner and properly identifies all the analog channels, that I see on TV.
  However, none of the digital channels are detected. I have not found a way to "force" a search using QAM256 or any other research of digital formats.   Using the tuner, cable and connections the same BUT with a linux sotware (mythtv) all digital channels have been identified.
  Is the problem because its analog and digital modes? How can I force Media Center to see the digital capacity of the tuner?

  Might have been a better place to look for information on the AverMedia Max Volar tuner AverMedia USA site.

  If you had looked here to find the latest drivers or to read support information, you would have found:

  Currently, Microsoft Windows Media Center does not signal QAM. You will need to use our AVer Media Center in order to receive the QAM signal. Please download the application on our website programs: http://www.aver.com/mpd/support/download/combopcie.html
