Hello All,
Looking for help on this MC hang issue. So, I rebuilt Windows 7 OS on an existing system that is using Media Center already for years (2009). No new hardware changes expect a new SSD for the boot drive and the existing MC works still as I rebuilt this on a new SSD and change the cable to...

I was curious if there are any working add ons anymore, Such as weather or online music streaming or online video streaming that you can use on a media center extender as well

Hi everyone

Just setting up uk freesat on WMC when scanning for channels on all known transponder frequencies i only seem to get about 8 channels, yet if i manually add the channels it will find them and play the stream but the signal only has 1 bar or strength, when I'm playing the channel every...

So, my foray into trying to work around the 29/59 issue has been interesting. I've discovered a bug in the Nvidia drivers that is crashing Media Center due to unchecked growth in the 'handles' for the ehshell.exe process when viewing 29/59 content, found that while the new Radeon cards don't cause...

I periodically need to move the WTV files from the assigned recording disk/folder to other disks with more space. I've added these directories into WMC. It can find the files in the new locations but then the metadata gets lost. They all show a length of 1 minute with no episode metadata like...

I installed a new Cable Card in my Ceton Tuner. I went through the card setup in WMC. It says it needs my Product Key which I put in. Then it says it can't reach the internet. I can get on the internet with the browser. So, it is a WMC problem. How do I get WMC to see the internet?

I am presently unable to use my Ceton because WMC can't see the internet connection. If I buy a Silicon Dust Cable Box will
WMC still require Activation to record off the Silicon Dust box or is the cable card activated differently?

I installed a new Cable card in the Win 7 computer that I used last year with EPg and Signals Direct. I ran the tv setup an it hung at downloading in step 2 so I read I need to turn the always on internet off. But that is nowhere to be found. So I downloaded 1.7.3.0 to run it and give the computer...

Hi All. I am thinking about acquiring a new PC for my WMC setup. I have messed around with Kodi, EMby and Plex but the simple TV DVR interface of WMC cannot be beat. I am currently debating whether to try and run WMC on Windows 10 (but I have about 5 extender devices which I would like to continue...

I'm able to P2V my working protected content/CableCard physical desktop into an ESXi virtual machine.
But of course, the process upsets PlayReady which now wants to do an update .
And the PlayReady servers aren't listening any longer. So, it's not possible to update PlayReady.

Does anyone know of...

Just streamed a movie with sound, and windows 7 has sound. There is no sound in windows media center. Any ideas? Please help!
Just checked a recorded show in VLC and it has sound, so problem is with output, not input. Is this a HDHomerun problem? Any help much appreciated.

Not sure where to post this, but cannot program Media Center unless I know what is available to watch.

We get the regular TV Guide but it’s limited in coverage compared to TV Weekly. However TV Weekly keeps increasing their price. I know there are online guides & you can configure & print a custom...

Chromium web browsers now feature a persistent warning banner about use on unsupported operating system when launched on Windows 7 and 8.
I wouldn't recommend using an old O/S for heavy web browsing, but the banner can be annoying if streaming video.

I have a bunch of movies in mkv format, and I’ve added them in WMC as a video library, but almost all the thumbnails are black/blank. I have K-Lite and Icaros 2.2.x installed on both Windows 7 and Vista which I’m dual booting, and the thumbnail offset at around 20%. Is there a way to fix the blank...

My 2 TB storage drive was getting full in my Win 7 Pro WMC DVR computer, so I moved the recorded TV movie library to my 12 TB NAS and told WMC where the movies are now located. However, the movie poster art and most of the descriptions no longer show for each of the movies in my recorded movies...
