• 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.

• The keyboard on the Windows Media Center screen does not appear when I hit the enter keyboard key!

  I searched through the internet trying to find a solution to this annoying problem: after change to enter the registry and the application of the value entered for showOskOnKeyboardEnter under MCE. PerUserSettings, I always have problems serious on-screen keyboard to appear by using the key "Enter" on the keyboard.  I managed only a couple of times to get the OSK to appear among the dozens of attempts, however, I am unable to recreate the actions - is absolutely not stable.  The only area that reacts to the 'Enter' key is looking for music.  All the fields in the section of Netflix and movies search fields are unresponsive.  Not even works tap triple function.  The only compatible and possible way to have the OSK appear is to double click on the field - that does not work given that the goal is to have an IR remote with the Media Center application interface.  The button 'OK' on the remote control is mapped to the Enter key (except if WMC has a key code value for the 'OK' button).  Help, please!

  I had this problem and it was very frustrating.  The posted solution did not work for me initially.  What I've discovered, is that you have closed Media center before editing the registry.  If you change it while it is open it does not pick up the change and then save settings (i.e. with showOskOnKeyboardEnter = 0) when you close.

  Then...
  1 close Media Center.
  2. follow the steps of the posted solution: http://mymce.wordpress.com/2011/04/20/on-screen-keyboard-in-windows-media-center-doesn ' t - appear /

• Button 'Back' on the Windows Media Center remote is not recognized by Windows 7

  I am currently using the Windows 7 RC.  I have been for awhile now.  Recently, while trying to use the Hulu app, I noticed that the 'back button ' on my Windows Media Center Remote no longer worked to switch from the full video on the menu.  I contacted the support of Hulu and they guided me to an online tool that shows the output of a button on the remote control.  All other keys work fine, but the 'Back' button doesn't produce any output.  This means that Windows itself is not recognize the key.

  The button works in Windows Media Center, itself, but it does not work when I am in Windows.  It worked fine for the last few months and I had not used for about a month (and reinstalled the RC) and now it no longer works.

  The receiver displays in the form of "eHome Infrared Receiver" Device Manager and when I try to update the drivers it says I have the latest version.  Something seems to be wrong with either the driver or there is a problem in Windows 7 itself which is the cause of not recognizing this key more.

  Well, I tried using the key on the keyboard and which worked to switch between menus.  I accidentally hit the ESC key on the keyboard, which worked to switch between the menu and the video as well.  Out of curosity, I tried a few other buttons on the remote control then and the 'Clear' button, which is down by the pad on the remote works!

  Thanks a lot for your help mark! :-)

• Windows Media Center Guide does not correct list shows

  I use a Vista Home Premium, the other day I reformatted my computer because I had problems with it. everything went well and media center opens and works very well. However, it used correctly list indicated in the guide, no matter what I do, and it worked properly before the reformat. The channels are listed correctly, if TBS is supposed to be on channel 2, according to the guide, is, therefore, when I go to channel 2 I am indeed on TBS station, BUT even if the show is listed as 'Home' in the guide, which is in read mode is like Sienfeld or some other show. Even when I record programs when it starts recording it will tell me 'Reecording House' and when you go to channel his record some other show is apparently on at that time.

  I tried completely relative to the implementation of the centre, tried to re-do ads guide by using 3 or 4 different postcodes, tried to look in my BIOS to see if my system clock is off, I tried looking for an updated driver but can't find the Media Center or don't know what it's called , and nothing has worked so far.

  What is the problem with my Media Center? Is an off clock that actually play the shows at the wrong time? I've been home 3 days now so please if you know EXACTLY what is wrong just to give me a bunch of things to try, and I'll try them

  Thank you

  Hi eps3742,

  This can happen if the media center guide downloads information guide incorrect.
  I suggest that you try to re installation guide and download the guide for registration again and check if it works.

  To set up the Guide listings

  To find your favorite programs more easily, you can configure your Guide lists to match your local service provider's guide listings.
  1. on the Start screen, navigate to tasks, click settings, click TV, click Guide, and then click Set Up Guide ads.
  2. follow the instructions on the screen to configure the list of Guide for your region.

  If you are prompted to select a TV provider 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.

  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.
  
  Check out the link for more information below.

  I would also say that you check if the time zone in windows is set correctly.

  If the previous step fails, then try to download the cumulative update of the Center media of the KB article below and check.

• Windows Media Center/player will not play my AVCHD videos

  I have a Canon Vixia HF R300 that came with a CD-ROM utility transfer, but not with the video ver.2 (Pixela) browser, which is supposed to work with my camera, but does not come with it and I can't find a download for it. I was able to transfer videos on my computer but not able to watch videos, much less edit. My videos have been saved in a folder called TVD_AVCHD, then in separate folders with .cpi and .mts 'pages' and a separate JPEG image. I tried to click on all of these files and used Windows Media Center and Media Player, but it says that no videos not found. Help, please. I know that my videos are okay because I can visualize in my camcorder and my TV.

• Windows Media Center TV tuner not detected

  My current operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
  (I installed SP2 from microsoft.com)
  I have the Version of the Windows Media Center - Windows Vista 6.0.6002.18030 software (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357).  I'm trying to watch TV on my laptop.  I have Windows Media Center and am confused about the version because I saw this - if the version number is 6.0.6001.18000, you are NOT running Windows Media Center TV Pack.  You are running the version of Windows Media Center, which is included in Windows Vista or in Windows Vista SP1.
   
  As you can see my version (numbers) are alittle different on the end, also the info in parentheses (vistasp2_gdr.090429 - 2357) I don't know what that means.  When I tried to configure the tv signal in Windows Media Center, I was told: the TV signal cannot be configured because no tv tuner hardware was detected. So, how can I find out if there is an internal tv tuner installed and everything is not detected?  My laptop is new - 3 weeks, and I think that all the drivers are current.   While they inspected the help windows vista hardware compatibility list for 64-bit vista tv tuners, I was flooded for more information that I knew what to do with.  I'm obviously not a computer genius and will never be.  I'm open to suggestions.  I just need to know what I have to do to be able to watch TV on my laptop.  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

• Windows Media Center EPG does not have the correct data

  Windows Media Center EPG on my computer is so ugly!

  Description is separated in two, and it's always the last part that displays first, so you'll have to roll down to the bottom to read the description.

  The series is difficult to use, because the series 1) is not always marked as series (so you can select 'plain' Record), and 2) the title contains often series of numbering (e.g. "the bodyguards (1:6)"), so even if it is marked as a series, it will record ever "Guards body (2:6)" or other titles (the Media Center will just try to record any episode of "Bodyguards (1:6)").

  It is the broadcaster who create * data, and then displays in Media Center via Broadcasting Dataservices Ltd., or who are the last to blame?

  What is MS Media Center that does not have the correct data?

  I am in Denmark, if this has an impact on the response.

  Thank you and best regards!

• Windows Media Center displays/does not play videos in folders of same accurate as they have always been saved

  Videos that previously played by Windows Media Center (which came installed on my laptop) suddenly stopped appearing in Windows Media Center records, although some videos (very few) are always show and play exact same files on my hard drive as videos which stopped working.

  I don't know that I did something to cause this, although maybe I did, inadvertently, or certain updates or new facilities caused program.

  Please help, I use Windows Media Center as my main videos media player. Windows Media Center is not connected to a TV, just use it as a media player on my laptop.

  He also noted - I recently moved several files from my hard drive to an external drive, if it will be of any significance.

  Thank you.

  you go into media center tasks and add new locations to
  storage/libraries? some external drives can be a problem, too.
   
  best bet is a system restore. You can CANCEL a system restore if it does not work.

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?
