WMC will not correctly record programmes

I can't get WMC to save my TV programs properly... for some reason when I have scheduled to record a certain program, it will rather to record any show I am watching both (or more if I'm zapping).  He won't even hit the correct program if I am not watching TV... only the last channel, I watched.  I noticed that when I did the original of WMC, when I got to the section where it asks to enter a three-digit channel (I also tried a camera digital two also), it will not change the channel at all.  I tried the option asking you if I need to press ENTER or OK after the channel number and the option when I press the channel number only.  Neither work.  WMC does not seem to recognize my remote fully, even if I used it without any problems before.  I think it has to do with the fact that I have changed TV providers and now need a box set, which I never used before.

My tv tuner is a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 and my tv provider is Telus Optik and my OS is Vista Home Premium(32-bit).  If anyone has any ideas, I would greatly appreciate.

Thanks in advance!

To clarify, since you are using a box, he will be able to record the channel on the box is currently defined.

Think Media Center is your TV, if you change your TV to channel 10, it won't get any signal. You must keep your TV to a specific channel and change the channel on the box. If Media Center is unable to change the channel on the box, the correct exposure will not be saved.

You said that when you have tested, it would change the channel. As I mentioned, you must run the installer once more and check if the channels are changing and, if necessary, adjust the settings accordingly.

  • Cursor will not correctly display on my H243H monitor

    When I connect my H243H monitor to my laptop (running Windows 7 Edition Home Premium - 64-bit), the cursor will not display on the monitor correctly.  I either get no cursor visible at all or I get a small rectangular grey box.  All solutions?  I went to check the monitor driver, but Acer demonstrated only a 32-bit driver available.  This could be the problem and is it possible around it?  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    You have another computer, you can test it? I guess it's a setting on the computer, because the only problem seems to be the cursor. There are some settings that you can change and solutions, you can try the link below.

  • Why my self playing dvd will not be recorded dvd?

    I have a saved auto dvd that won't play on windows media player despite me download a shedding of different codecs. I don't know what the record was made in format, it comes from a canon camera recorded to a dvd player/burner. My computer is HP pavilion and it sees the drive as white, any ideas anyone please.

    I have experienced and recorded the dvd, as well, the DVD - RW and DVD + R with two freewares and I'm able to play an exceptional video on my computer or DVD player.  Two freewares are available on internet and their software can be downloaded and run your browser on a computer.  The two programs are DVDVideoSoft's "Free Disk Burner" and the other "Convert Video" by X2XSoft.  I use video conversion to convert my video the Audio_TS and Video_TS files and output them both in a directory on your hard drive.  C:/DVDdirectory/Audio_TS and Video_TS/DVDdirectory/C: use of software Free Burner of disc to burn both files on the DVD.  The files to burn must be considered in the as free disc burner: Audio_TS Video_TS, otherwise your DVD will not play on anything!

    Free disc burner "finalize" the DVD for you.  The Audio_TS is to render the sounds.  The Video_TS is the image.  Do not be misled by the Audio_TS bend not containing or not list all files!  Your good and ready to burn.

    A pointer, however.  You will find your best record burning SPEED on "more SLOW!  You may be using a DVD that can be recorded at 40 x or 48 x or 16 x, or some fast deal, but always choose 4 x or slower.  I check in at 2.4 x and get better results than the faster speeds.  You paid for the DVD, do what you want to do.  Hope you can understand this and happy saving!

  • adjustPopupWidth will not correctly work if there is a vertical scroll bar

    Previously, I use "adjustPopupWidth", so that my JComboBox will enough width to display all items in the drop-down list.

    However, I realize when he is present of the vertical scroll bar, 'adjustPopupWidth' will not produce a good width to display all the items in the drop-down list. This causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear as well (which is not what I want)

    Remove 'Item 1' up to 'Article 7', results in a vertical scroll bar is not displayed. Therefore, "adjustPopupWidth" will work correctly.

    It seems that the calculation within the "adjustPopupWidth", should take into account in the bar vertical scrolling. But how?

    Thank you.

  • Lightroom will not correctly close in El Capitan

    With the last update I had problems with the very slow response in LR, checking the graphics processor of cured cela a bit, but now I still having the problem with the LR CC: when I closed the program one try to open it later: LR6 does not open when double tap the icon on the bar he spots says "not responding" and I have to select "force quit" before I can open it.

    Hi SNies,

    • Quiit Lightroom.
    • Navigate to the location of the catalog.
    • Move the catalog to an another location (e.g. Desktop)

    Now, will not be able to find the Lightroom Catalog and will be asked to create a new catalog >

    • Create a new catalog and import rare images
    • Stop Lightroom to check the issue.

    If you work well, use to be imported into another catalog to import the images from the previous catalogue

  • restored my tags catalog not listed and not correct records info

    I'm a long-time user PES.  I am the PSE 14 running 64-bit Windows 10.  I have a new PC and just restored my computer to the new catalog.  Old and new PC use even of PES and Windows.  PSE thumbnails appear in the media with my tags window in the corner and seem to be in the correct file structure.  I use images > Images > annually (2002-2015).

    Problems seem to be with folder windows and tag.  No tag not listed in the right column and the folders on the left do not match my folder list.  An example is

    10 10 2015 Nashville.  The files are simply incorrect.  The photos show tags.

    I've heard of this issue, but I don't know how to fix it.  Help will be appreciated.

    This can be important for my problem of catalog above.  I just found in the Adobe help that "you must be logged on to the computer by using the same user name as the old computer.  When I put my new computer my username sort is listed incorrectly.  I've always had my (Barb) name as my username.  Somehow when I set up the new computer my user name was modified by another name (roadt).  I did not notice it for a few days.  I couldn't figure out how to change it to Barb and now my file structure is not the same as it was in the old computer.  This can be done how the catalog has been managed.

  • Logic problem.  JavaScript will not correctly add the values

    Simple logic problem.  I have radio buttons fixed to values 1 or 0, but the simple addition of characteristic adobe has used it add up?

    Basic story, I need to display the value of how no. GOs there, then multiply the amount of GOs No. against a locker's worth.

    While subtract 100 to get an academic score.

    Code to determine the value of a set of radio buttons;

    Switch (this.getField("Group_1").value)

    {

    case 'GO ':

    Event.Value = 0;

    break;

    case "NO GO":

    Event.Value = 1;

    break;

    }

    On the calculation tab, I then use the first calculate (sum +) selection to determine all areas, I would like to add (total of 24 possible selections) field name is (TOTALNG)

    After that I have a hidden field that multiplies the previous value TOTALNG * 4 (which represents the value of the note I want to determine each no. GO), then displays

    the total final that I simply subtract 100.

    It is, he does not appear correctly the initial value of the no-go. It is always 1 account back up to what it should be. I even select the radio to go button which resets the value to 0, but down altogether, it counts as if it is chosen and gives a value of 4.

    A way simple code so far, even seems (if the way im put it on foot does not tell you that I know little) but I do not understand what I can be missing. I even put a field of 0 to add in now just to see if she needs another value to add against just in case where there is that one number GOING to add.

    Any idea? My form is a probably a mess, but I think the code is simply stated if anyone is willing to look and laugh for a second to my work.

    Thank you

    The problem seems to be the order of computation of field, only not with the

    code. You can configure via a Set - other tasks - field form editing mode

    Calculation order.

  • EDGE file will not correctly work DPS! Any ideas on what I could do?

    I built an EDGE file up to the size of a layout of iPad full screen (1024 X 768), with a few elements that animate it. I set up correctly and, published "animate Deployment Package. However, when playing in DPS, there is a hesitation (or delay), then, a white - stop in action - then the animation plays very well. I've not coded late or stops.

    I'm not a coder.

    I did several tests with a variety of images of "Post", but I always get the "Hesitation" (of late) room.

    Can you let me know what I'm not doing correctly?

    Thank you!

    I think I know what you're talking about.

    Try the following steps.  First of all in Indesign set your auto play animation and set a deadline for 0.125.  I talked with Adobe and they will set a guideline always have a 0.125 for animations created with Edge delay.  Second, make sure you check "Transparent background" and "scale content worthy."  The good thing is that it is full screen and set to 1024.

    Make sure that you also define an image of the poster on board if you do not receive the empty image until he began to play on the iPad.  Another thing.  DC animations are essentially controlled by Safari on the iPad, you will see a longer than 1/8 of a second that you define.  I attribute that to the iPad have to load it on request before time.

    I hope this helps.

  • Firefox will not correctly display some web pages and addons can not be installed.

    I just installed firefox to the computer after the installation of the Windows 7 operating system.
    It does allow me to install an addon in the browser. In addition, it does not display the page addons firefox and github.com. (only plain html is displayed without CSS any kind of things)
    I tried to remove cookies, remove stuff history and running in safe mode. None of the methods worked.

  • Firefox 17.0.1 will not correctly display on my laptop. I had to revert to the last version in order to write this!

    I had to revert to the version 16.0.2 - works perfectly - as 17.0.1 is virtually unusable on this laptop. I've never had this problem before and I've been using Firefox for many, many years. It is basically a graphical problem. I can't see my homepage if my list of bookmarks in the sidebar - this is only in black. But if I close it, the page renders OK. If I try to change pages it seems to be OK. Then, as soon as I try to open my favorites again the black page. If I try the black part of scroll I can see the page in the background, but as soon as I stop scrolling, it goes black again. If I try long enough, the page will make it sometimes, but as soon as I try to do something on the page it blocks will disappear and then come back if I move the mouse around it. - And the variations of this kind of nonsense. It's a very difficult thing to describe.
    I tried restarting Firefox with my addons disabled and that seems to fix the problem, but I don't know which is the cause because when I restart with the new addons activated in order to stop their individual page display problem makes it virtually impossible to do anything, because I can not browse properly.
    I came back to 16.0.2 permanently for a while, but every time I try to reinstall 17.0.1 the same thing happen everywhere. of course Ff guard ask me who there is a newer version and I want to install etc., due to problems of security etc, but seems not be any point, unless someone out there has any suggestions as to what is causing this problem very annoying and frustrating.

  • TDMS files will not correctly import in Matlab

    I am trying to load the content of the TDMS files in MATLAB for post-processing. I'm not too picky on what method to use to achieve this, but I want that he be relatively simplified for processing batch and I want it to work (this is key)! I tried the NEITHER provided DLL with sample files ".m" (see "reading TDM/PDM files with The MathWorks, Inc.® software MATLAB", http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/5957). I can get to work perfectly with the TDM file provided, but it does not properly cover my own TDMS files. I also tried to treat the binary TDMS file using MATLAB Central M-script (see "ConvertTDMS", http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28771). This file was written to process files TDMS file format description-based of NOR (see "Internal TDMS File Format Structure", http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/5696). M-script is my preferred solution since it does not require a bunch of other files such as the DLL approach does, but I'm willing to take the approach that works best.

    All I want to do is to be able to read all properties (names and values) and each group of channels (the names and values) to a TDMS file in MATLAB. Is this too much to ask? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    See the attachment document that has several screenshots to explain the problems I encounter. I have also attached my modified versions of the scripts mentioned above and my example of TDMS file which is not treated properly.

  • Images in the slide show will not correctly display on mobile phone

    Hello

    I have a site that I used several slideshows, in areas I generally used a rectangle and fill it with a photo.  This was done because my client wants to be able to update the images through the business catalyst.  Unfortunately, seen on a laptop (I am using iOS 7) slide show images do not display correctly.

    What can be done to fix this?  Is there an another workaround I should try?

    Thank you!

    Hi Nicole

    The images you use on a page of parties are tense, if you check the image frame you can see that.

    Thus the image frame is stretched above the image aside, they do not display properly. If you resize since the end of the Muse, then also it is not fixed because Muse remembers the size of the image that you inserted and seen, Muse stretches the image size original than the way in which it was inserted.

    Please resize the images outside the Muse, use any image editor like Photoshop and then use the exact size of the image on the page frame.

    This would solve the problem.

    Thank you
