• Windows media center ir hardware not detected units

  Hi all

  It's my whole first time attempt to install a tv tuner and set up and I have difficulties. I try configuring a hauppauge hvr 1850 in windows media center on windows 7 64 bit. My TV provider is directv and windows media center detects my decoder when it searches for tv signals. It does not detect my tv tunter as well, but he says no signal and I have to configure manually. After you manually configure my tv tuner, I get another message saying "ir hardware not found." I tried a lot of workarounds and none of them does not seem to work, I have a windows media center certified remote provided with my tv tuner and I can control everything in windows media center, but it stops said ir hardware not detected. I need help serious because I am running out of options. Does anyone use directv on this particular tv tuner?

  Have you downloaded Windows Media Center remote control receiver/blaster configuration utility?

• Windows media center analysis drops channels with the call sign not in the guide

  I'm trying to find the right place to report this problem.

  When library scanned for channels recently that he hasn't found a bunch of DTT hd (clearqam) who are present and unencrypted.

  Scanning with the help of the application of the tv tuner has revealed that the channel was present and unencrypted.

  He showed that the channels have call signs which were not present in the digital guide. that is a call sign was "KPHO HD" when the digital guide for the channel list KPHODT

  I had checked in the list of all channels that find the Media Center and the numbers were not present in media center.

  This seems to be a bug because the channel should be found even if no digital guide for the channel is found.

  The solution is to locate the actual channels by another application.

  Add channels with the guides Add missing channels

  Change the channel to have the correct list and the channel number.

• Windows Media Center IR hardware not detected

  Hi, I'm stuck at the 'IR Hardward not detected"when you try to set up the TV.

  I am in Australia and have a wireless component gets my digital signal in another room.  www.cocoonsystems.com.au I run a Haupaggue (spelling?) TV tuner.  The TV tuner may display the signal from my cocoon via its product called WinTV.  It is consulted on the Composite connection.  (PC is a new computer from Dell with Vista desktop loaded)

  So, when I go to configure Media Center to see the signal as I do the following:
  1. set up TV signals
  2. Australia region
  3. choose antenna
  4. Select digital terrestrial
  5. Select Yes (for the view through a decoder, because the other option does not find my signal)
  6. He found the photo and playback of the sound by means of Composite 1, so I select it
  7 IR hardware not detected.

  Media Center doesn't let me step by-pass 7 if I don't have an infrared connection.  I have no need of my PC to change the channel because I use the remote control digital TV to change the channel through the Cocoon system.

  Is there a way someone knows I can work around that this troublesome matter of IR hardware not detected?  I can only assume if I had my video camera connected through the Composite connection I would have the same problem too, because that was not a remote control.

  What can I do?

  Balibooblue,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  The only way I know to bypass the need for a hardware device to IR during the installation of Media Center to watch TV is to use a "virtual" infrared device  There is one called "Vista MCE IR Blaster" is a file that you download from the Internet that simulates an infrared device.  You will need to do a search for it.  Or you can buy the hardware Media Center application relatively cheaply online, on the USD $20.

  Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

• Windows Media Center requires an activation code.

  Hello all. I'm having issues activating digital cable on a windows machine 7.

  This is the system in question:

  • Shuttle XPC
  • x 64 athlon dual core Ghz 2.24
  • 4 G of RAM
  • Windows 7 pro
  • ATI USB Open Cable Tuner with comcast mcard

  So I ran the digital cable Advisor and it goes very well.

  I put the mcard in tuner and plugged. All LED to the Greens and I have it plugged into the computer. The tuner installs and I check in via the interface, just fine.

  I called Comcast and had them activate MasterCard. I waited a day and then tried to activate digital cable and he repeated to me that I need a key, it should be on the installation CD or something. In aprevious post, a person indicates that it must be equipped by the cable operator, but it is clearly a PID Ms. I'll try to call comcast again later, as I'm not at home now, but any input would be nice.

  I'm actually confused do not know at this stage and really get a sense of the place where from here.

  Thank you

  Very well! I got it! I reinstalled x 64 and re run DCA in windowed mode and it works! RECORDS OF HBO, HERE I COME!

• Windows Media Center cannot sync/set up with AT & T UVERSE

  Windows Media Center cannot configure/sync with my cable TV box. ((See system put in place/info below)

  I spent about 10 hours trying to solve this problem.  Tried every way Windows Media Center allows you to configure, automatic, manual (tried all listed codes), IR remote learning. I searched the web, talked with HP technical support for more than 3 hours, talked with Motorola, ATT UVERSE, someone seems to have a solution.  Based on troubleshooting, I have it so far, I'm a 90 + % sure it's soley configuration of Windows Media Center TV of UVERSE problem of decoder.

  I can get a TV signal on the computer through Windows Media Center and get my cable TV box to make it work, but it's as close as possible. The remote control works, all connections are correct, IR blaster or transponder is located correctly on my TV receiver.

  In the IR remote control learn installation manual configuration (I think this is one of the two) or Windows Media Center asks you to press and hold the "0" on your remote decoder, pointing to your receiver IR from PC.  When I press on it it seems to answer by saying to continue to hold then it ask you to release what I'm doing, then I get an error message.  It is the closest, I learned to operate.  I tried a few tricks/variations on this that I found on this site and others, but not luck.

  Another question the image that I get, but cannot control with Windows Media Center is of very poor quality (worse than a bad cell phone video on youtube), I guess that's more hardware related issue, but I had a machine good enough speced. Also, there is a time delay major and variable (4-5 seconds) between the time you press a button on the decoder TV and you see the answer on the machine, which makes it very difficult to operate.

  I keep trying to stay on the PC band wagon, but of course, the other side seems to be much less difficult to get simple things to work.

  Anyadvice is appreciated.

• 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.

  I have a HP m8034n pc with a tuner Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC/ATSC Combo.  The pc came with Vista and Windows media center worked great just with the tv tuner.  I upgraded to Windows 7, December 2 and fail to put in place my tv with WMC tuner.  The recorded shows that I had before the upgrade to Windows 7 appear and play without problem in WMC. I used the hardware diagnostic tool that is installed on my pc to control the Tuner, and during the test, I can see fine TV stations.  This unit is compatible according to microsoft Windows 7. I have the latest driver and tried to uninstall and reinstall. I ran Windows Update and everything is up-to-date. After that WMC checks tuners, it says:

  screen A___
  WMC has discovered the following:
  Analog cable (1 Tuner)

  I even tried to set up the signal manually and on the confirmation screen, I click Next, and get the exact same error.

  I would really appreciate any help and if more details are required, please let me know.  Thank you!

  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.

• How to select the output device HDMI as audio playback for Windows Media Center device

  Output audio media center units

  Hello

  I'm trying to set up my media center from windows to windows media center of output through a separate audio device audio device by default.

  In this case, I have hdmi output that I want to be the output for windows media center and my realtek analog to be the default for all the rest.

  So my overall question is how I make windows media center requires is not the default audio device.

  Thank you

  Andrew

  Method 1 is useless. Does that change the audio device by default in the system, what the user seeks specifically not to do.

  Method 2 has no effect at all on Media Center.
  The answer seems to be no, Media Center only works with the audio output device by default.

• 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.
