• Qosmio G50 - cannot install the FM Tuner in Windows Vista Media Center?

  Can someone help me get the most out of Windows Vista media center with my new Qosmio G50.

  There is a tuner inside this laptop and I have the antenna and its plugged in. The drivers all seem to be installed but WMC tells me that I don't have the hardware to run FM stations and I can't make it work. Also, I can't record library but although I can't watch TV no problem at all.

  Someone out there have the answer?

  Hello

  Are you sure that your equipped G50 FM tuner to 100%?

  As I know a few models of G50 has been equipped with a tuner TV with antenna TV port that allows to connect a coaxial cable to this port to watch a TV program and then save.
  But as I said earlier, this feature is not included with all models of G50.

  Sorry, but I didn't find any info regarding the FM tuner.

• Why Windows Vista Media Center Program Guide stopped working

  I've been using Windows Vista Media Center as my main way to watch and record the TV, music, and Photos for a few years (shortly after Windows Vista came out).

  Since January 1, 2013, the program guide showed no data.

  I believe that this is because the Microsoft agreement with the broadcasting of the Data Services to the United Kingdom is exhausted.

  What is Microsoft doing about this?

  Can what steps I take to restore my Media Center if you work?

  Hello Nikki Locke,

  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 Vista Media Center crashes when I change the channel

• DEFAULT DOWNLOAD EPG IN WINDOWS VISTA MEDIA CENTER ERROR ON ERROR CODE: MC EVENT VIEWER CODE 0 13.

  No not someone arrive at a viable solution for this yet? I had this problem for about 6 weeks and tried all of the solutions that I can find with no luck. I think that now it is linked to an update of Windows but which when I certainly don't know.  When I do a system clean reinstall the EPG download will temporarily (I did twice now) but after just a couple of updates and when Windows update has done been thing guide refused once more to download. How the world would be a person understand this because when I do reinstall the system there are about 150 updates waiting to download?

  Come on Microsoft Engineering people must certainly be a solution to this problem if anyone cares enough to explore the substantive issue. It seems that there are many, many others having the same problem.

  The old post of 2006 has an explanation detailed on the error code 13 and the same thing applies for Vista too, this is why I mentioned this one.

  I understand your frustration. The problem is essentially due to firewalls or things of internet security or antivirus interference.

  http://Forum.wegotserved.com/index.php?/topic/2676-guide-dowload-error-code-13-Vista-users came up with a solution. Does that help?

  Try the other suggestions too.

• Windows Vista Media Center Set up to cable

  I want to use the DVR built into my computer.  I have Windows Vista Home Premium 2007.  Two years back I had the computer through the cable interface and attached box IR material.  Tried to hang today but without success.  I don't remember my connetion process.  The cable of the wall runs from the router, and then to the computer?  Is the reason why I have trouble because of the transition from analogue to digital?  There is also a small Franck, and I think it was before incorrporated, but I'm not sure.  I need instructions on the hook upward cables, what anything and everything that is involved.  It seemed very simple the first time I hooked it up.  Any help is appreciated.
  Thank you!

  Thanks for your help.  I plugged the cable into the cable and then to the computer box and put on my infrared device.  Everything goes well.  I have another question.  I now use the TV as my monitor and I hooked up via VGA.  I noticed that I have about three inches of black screen on both sides of the tv.  Is there a way to fill the screen?

  Thanks again!

  Whenever I use (64-bit) windows vista Media Center after it starts I can't use the mouse to move from one element to the element. I need to use the tab key, arrows and enter to do anything in media center. Is it possible to get to be able to use my mouse?

  Among other things, this suggests to disable 'Traces of the mouse', if you have it on might work.

• Vista Media Center will play is no longer the DVD or TV?

  Windows vista media Center will not play TV, although he did it again and it will not read the DVD more, but there again. The answers would be gratefull.

  OK, forget the TV, I have now it works well.

  But I still can't read the DVD.

  After having put in a disk, it makes a funny sound as if she is looking for the disc backwards & fordwards permanently. After some time when nothing is happening and I'm going to eject the disc, a popup said cannot detect a disk.

  This happens on the plant as well as those burned discs.

  What happens if you try to play outside of the WMC?
  If it is it may be a disk problem.

• Vista Media Center and my Xbox 360 extender connection

  Hi I have a problem connecting my xbox 360 and my windows vista media center. Everytime I try I get the message saying that it can't find the range extender and suggests that it is one of the following three things

  (1) the Extender is turned on and connected to the network

  It's on and it appears as an icon of the xbox 360 in my network on the vista machine and can connect to the internet, so I guess the network very well.

  (2) that the code is correct

  It's that I checked it about 30 or twice now.

  (3) UPnP does not work properly

  I guess that's the problem but cannot figure out how to solve. I have a BT Homehub router. I've implemented through active UPnp. I even tried to disable the firewall completely on it and on vista, it made no difference to the port forwarding doesn't seem to be the answer.

  Help please it is one of the main reasons I got an xbox 360 and vista

  Paul.
