• 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!

• 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.

  Step 2:

  You can also manually download the latest Guide information and check.

  a. on the screen start, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then get latest Guide listings.

  (b) when you are prompted, select Yes to start to download Guide listings. You are notified when the update of the Guide is complete. You can continue to use Windows Media Center and the Guide while new Guide information is being downloaded.

  If the problem persists, you can try to configure the TV signal in Media center and check if it works very well.

• Why has Windows Media Center Program Guide, an expiration date and is it possible to extend the updates of the information on the TV program?

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

  When you open the program guide settings (settings:, TV: ProgramGuide) and watched part of the' Guide' he said start from 01/01/01, end date: 2012-05-01. So that explains why I get no updates.

  But someone how to get the subscription suite program listings or another way to obtain lists of programs TV in Media Center?

• 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.

• 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?

  Hello Grangeland and others.

  Please see the thread below because there was a problem with the program guide in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It must be corrected. If not, let us know.

• 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:

  http://social.technet.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/w7itpromedia/thread/e123068e-8ac4-4e37-AF97-691b408582a6

  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.

• Windows Media Center - not the initial download put in place data for guide "unable to connect to the remote server.

  Hello

  Looking for help on this one...

  I have a new install of windows 7 pro running, and I was not able to get the guide to download Windows Media Center.   I am up-to-date with all the updates and SP1 version running.   My video card drivers are also updated.

  I use HDHOMERUN PRIME equipment with cablecard and who receives a TV signal very well and I am able to view it in WMC.    I use Verizon FIOS and my zip code is 07452.    Before this computer, I ran the cablecard even with a ceton infinitv and had no problem Guide at all.

  It's just that I can't download the guide data.  Its just totally blank.   I receive the channels and view them, but there is NO data.      Whenever I run the TV setup the same question comes up.  Cannot download the initial configuration data due to the error of previous download.   As far as I know, there is NO error message when Windows installed... actually... I reinstalled windows completely and this has not solved the problem.    I tried to manually download the guide which did not help.   It... nothing happened when I turned 'on' and 'off' WMC in Control Panel to reinstall.  I even tried explore the ehome folder and remove the file db... but nothing is helping.

  I can't find a file mcupdate.exe light on my system - don't know if this is relevant.   When I looked in the event viewer here are some of the error messages that I see.

  Impossible to extract the EpgLineups (error: unable to connect to the remote server)
  Impossible to extract the MCEClientUX (error: unable to connect to the remote server)

  I'm starting to think it's a matter of windows.   Anyone have any ideas?

• The Windows Media Center Guide data - channels Incorrect after that provider changes Lineup

  8/1, Cox left HD and SD of The BigTen Network 263/1263 channels for their new channels 109/1109 in the Fairfax area (22307). Zap2it again (24 days later) on their old channels.

  WMC is based exclusively on Zap2it lists of channel in order to settle and watch the channels for CableCard card systems, indicating that there is no way to change/add channels manually. For this reason, we have no way to view the right channels until Zap2it updates the range.

  I tried to contact Zap2it directly, but got no response. It is just 2 channels I know immediately, there are more than likely others also. If Zap2it change their lineups accordingly, is a way to manually manipulate the data updates and Zap2it block? If this isn't the case, Microsoft do anything to this topic?

  Hello Brad,

  Thanks for the reply and we update on the State of the question. I'm sorry for the delay in response. I understand that this question is related to a bad configuration parameter between Media Center and Zap2it.

  Microsoft works with suppliers of different channel to make sure that Windows Media Center is running, but in rare scenarios in one or the other setting may not work as expected.
