• Windows Media Center Vista don't tune in digital channels of PCI digital tuner tv.

  I recently installed a new Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1600 NTSC? ATSC/QAM tuner in my computer. Its a dual core 2.66 mhz 4GB Ram running Windows Vista Home premium with Windows Media Center. The tuner is made to work with Windows Media Center according to its box. He also had his own software cleaner, IE. WinTV, which I also loaded. I have an antenna hanging good input on the tuner card. That same exact antenna wire hooked to a digital TV Gets the following strings... 6.1 and 6.2 - 6.3 - 8.1 - 8.2-8.3-17.1-17.2 - 17.3 - 22.1
  WinTV those gets exactly the same channel list and can display them all. Windows Media Center, after the execution of the installation routine, list the same channels, but do not think that all. Problem channels are 8.2 - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3.  These channels show in the guide as "No Data Available" and when you select them, there is no signal detected. Yet, channel 8.1 and 17.1 gave Guide and discover very well. It is interesting when you go through special antenna Signal: settings: TV: Digital TV the 8.2 problem channels - 8.3 - 17.1 - 17, 3 list all the and are verified with check marks and show full signal strength. I spent time trying to play with the Guides Add announcement & edit channels and add missing channels. Also, I spent time with "Set Up TV signal" several times.
  Any suggestions? Why is the windows media center grateful but not display secondary digital channels, still recognizing and displaying the primary digital channel very well. It can be the signal or the pilots, because MyTV of Hauppage shows them all very well.
  Help?

  Try windows update.  I use this card with media center 7 and had no problem getting all the digital channels.

• Windows Media Center using only not to Clear QAM channels, at least some of them.

  So check it... I already updated my operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 as soon as it became available last year and had been using Windows Media Center on my HP m8330f to record live shows with a digital antenna.  I decided, spotty reception because, as I plug in my TV Tuner directly through my cable (without decoder) and Clear QAM channels this mode of access.  After noticing that my old TV Tuner was missing several channels (not shown 6) I chose to add missing channels, as shown in several forum posts.  I added successfully most of the available channels except the two I wanted most, NBC and ABC.  Since my TV Tuner was quite old (double ViXS ban, card simple tuner), I decided to upgrade to the Hauppauge 2250 encryption that could be a cause for the missing channels... and more, it is a ban on double, double tuner the card.  Alas, the Hauppauge worked in much the same way that its predecessor and the lack of NBC (4.1) and ABC (2.1) are not found... even after attempting to add channels.  All that is visible is a "Service is unavailable" message.

  I am a customer of Time Warner Cable in New York and have had no problem accessing these (Clear QAM) channels on my' computer', the LG 32LH40 thanks its tuner internal.  Moreover, I was able to access these same channels via the same TV Tuner using WinTV v7 and Beyond TV.  This leads me to believe that the problem lies in the Windows Media Center software.

  I am a big fan of Windows Media Center and love how convenient it is (apart from my current dilemma) and still want to use it as my main media look at a software but I'm torn on this issue.  I don't know if you have experienced this problem before, but I am quite stunned, especially since I feel like I've exhausted all channels (which goes as far to add the channels first as a modulation QAM 64 and 256).  Does anyone else have this problem?  Any ideas would be extremely useful.

  Thank you!

  Hi Chris,

  Thanks for your help!  I thought both on the channel number, but I could not find a network ads everywhere about my service area (I had not yet known on that SiliconDust website but I just took a shot and that's exactly what I needed...) (Thank you!) ; or the information that I found were incorrect.  I ended up working all last night.

  After many rescan with WinTV and Beyond TV, I could finally figure what channel were virtual and who were not and add missing channels accordingly.  Remappe MC my 104,2 at 4.2 but not my 104.1 makes my TV as well as WinTV.  Beyond TV didn't display the number of virtual channel while parsing, so I was able to get the numbers of QAM channels how.  He was just working backwards.  However, MC had yet 104.1 (my 4.1 missing such as mentioned in my previous post) in his 'detected chains"(strangely)... so I added it.

  Thank you for this Web site again!

• How can I me EPG of Windows Media Center to retrieve the Info for all channels instead of a few?

  I changed recently upgraded my old outdoor antenna to something much better. As a result, I now get many more channels. Some of these channels are probably close to 100 miles away. EPG WMC not being extracted and live online in the info, I guess that it takes only few of my 'area '. This translates I only find info for strings nearest while some other display Info not available. It is of course annoying and makes doing the impossible registration application.

  I'd like to solve this problem by trying to use an EPG that will pull information from over the air signal. While I searched it online all methods that seem to work for others are for people in Europe, or even for the older versions of XP/Vista of WMC. I have Windows 7 Home.

• How to display A / V (line) input in Windows Media Center

  I am running Windows Media Center on Vista and have equipped with a Hauppauge TV card. It has analog (NTSC) TV input, digital TV (ATSC) and a composite video & audio. TV tuners work very well. How to choose the A / V input line to display? There is no "enter" of the remote control button. I know that the signals are there because I get a picture of the video and a slice of audio using Win - TV (really crappy software).

  In the Windows Media Center Setup, it says:

  Cable

  Satellite

  Antenna

  Is it possible to have the A / V input see the place as a 'channel '?

  Thank you;

  Andy W.

  Hi Andy W,.

  You can't see the Audio/video entry up as a channel.

I did a lot of research trying to find a solution and made a "Auto fix" download as well as in numerous trouble shooting research and reinstall nothing doesn't.

• Freeze statement signal tv Windows Media Center

  I have a recurring problem.

  I'm trying to update my channels of TV tuner in Windows Media Center.

  I use a Philips SAA7130, Hybrid Capture Device and I use Windows 7 Ultimate.

  Since I moved to Windows 7 since VISTA, whenever I go to Windows Media Center and try to update my TV channels, once it gets past enterting my Zip Code for the United Kingdom and download the guide ok, it then goes to "Examing of TV signal" and then the computer hangs.

  Recovery only I have is in power turned off/turned on the PC to recover.

  I tried various solutions on the web to work around this problem, but none of them work.

  It's more frustrating that the program crashes.

  I tried this device to update with a new driver found on the list of drivers Windows 7, as I can't find a reliable one on the Web.

  I've updated 6.0.1.3 as dated: 05/08/2009 Philips Semiconductors, but it made no difference.

  Judging by researching the web, it seems to be a lot of other users having the same problem and also with different TV tuner cards.

  I use this TV tuner card, and it is connected to an external antenna. It's the only method I have on my PC for the reception of digital television in the United Kingdom

  It worked ok when it was running on Windows VISTA.

  Have you any suggestions please?

  All,

  Sorry for the delay in responding. I've never seen the above mediaCenterDataStore.db file so searched the Internet and found that the best way to solve the problem is to disable Windows Media to run. The PC should restart.

  Then you re-enable Windows Media Center, and then open Windows Media Center and begin the process of setting TV and this time it works fine.

  Either way, I also discovered that my TV tuner card not working, so I replaced it with a PCTV NanoStick T2.

  I can now TV works as well on the PCTV s/w, as well as on Windows Media Center.

  Now, everything works fine, and this issue may now be closed.

  For those interested, this is how to disable Windows Media Center for WINDOWS 7 users:

  BEGINNING

  CONTROL PANEL

  PROGRAMS and FEATURES

  Select "turn on or off Windows features.

  You will find on the left side of the Panel

  It opens a new window

  Search

  MULTIMEDIA FEATURES

  Extend the FUNCTIONALITY of MEDIA

  Uncheck the box Windows MEDIA CENTER

  Follow the instructions to continue.

  It takes some time.

  It is important to ensure that you have nothing else running like the PC restart after that

  Restart the PC

  Now, go back to the above process

  Re-check WINDOWS MEDIA CENTER to be able to again

  It does not suggest to reboot your PC, but I did anyway

  I then opened MEDIA CENTER in the normal way

  Then, I managed to complete the TV setting process which has taken time but do not hang at all.

  Good luck!
