I'm on version 1.7.0.10. I have 3 different channels that are not getting sent correctly to my cable box. My cable provider is Spectrum (digital). I can not figure out why cable box channel 197 is being sent via IR to the cable box as channel 2.

I've tried several google searches and searches here...

Pause play for like 10 minutes then black screen w/ only volume
Sometimes I forget to completely click off a program that has been on pause,
Like I pause and don’t click back to all recorded TV.

I believe this is a common issue w/ MC7, I have been resorting to restarting which is a major...

MC no longer controls volume?
Since I’ve had difficulty w/ the remote controls, I’ve been setting the AVR to a medium volume then use MC to adjust.
Now I’m forced to control volume w/ the AVR the MCs volume #s will change but volume stays the same.
Please recommend the proper settings that I can...

My Hard drive failed, and had to install a new hard drive with Window7, However Media Center does not have the Digital Cable Advisor in Extras. So Media Center thinks the computer is not digital cable ready., Can some one give me hand with getting medai center into the digital cable ready,to enable...

This may have been addressed in the past (disclaimer). I have been a loyal user of media center for 10+ years. I am in the process of moving on .... I am now using HDHomeRun DVR ... has some shortcomings (no search for programs that I have found, not satisfied with the channel lineup display) ......

I've been pulling my hair out for several hours because I could not get WMC to detect my HDHomerun Prime tuners. The tuners showed up in my network settings, could be accessed by the HDHomerun software (both setup and view) but no matter what I seemed to do in WMC I could not get it to detect the...

Hi all, I've had the same Windows 7 setup since 2012. I use Windows Media Center to record and watch TV and Chrome (or any other browser, really) to access things like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Everything worked fine for years. Suddenly last night, I started having serious problems: I can watch...

I didn’t see anything similar to this issue on the site. I’m using EPG123 and Windows 7. This started happening a couple of months ago sometime after updating EPG123. About every week or so recordings will not be successful. After rebooting the OS, recordings will resume. I tried updating EPG123...

Microsoft is making it harder to install Playready for WMC TV setup. Posting for anyone else that goes through this.

Decided it is time to reformat my HTPC C: drive and have a clean WMC install. I completed Windows 7 install and installed all drivers without issue. I tried Windows update to get to...

I've got a few folders & each has many recordings. Instead of deleting recordings individually how can I just delete the folder? I searched but came up empty. I know this can be done in Windows but that would lose the history when it was done, which is probably no big deal. But it just seems like...

Hello everyone. I have just joined this forum although I have been using Win7 Windows Media Centre for the past 10 years. I have been fairly content with it all untill the update server closed.....

I now only use it for my music and videos. Problem is trying get the info. for the music albums....

The August 10, 2021 security update appears to have broken my WMC decoders. I'm getting a video decoder broken or not installed error and no video or audio will displayed/play. I suspect it is Windows Media MPEG-4 Video Decoder Remote Code Execution Vulnerability CVE-2021-36937 update.

I rolled...

Do anyone know if it's possible to force WMC to keep the same window size and position whenever it isn't running full screen? I've found various programs online that claim to be able to do that for any program, but I'm hesitant to load any 3rd party product on my WMC. I don't even browse the...

Hey hey, way back in 2015 there was mention here of a utility that lets you change the metadata of WMC recordings. It's called Edit DVR-MS Metadata. I have a need and that could be just the thing. But where to get it?

There's a link to an MSDN blog post where you once could download it, but that...

Starting today I cant get 832 Bally sports Midwest protected content black screen. No TV signal. Intel NUC windows 7. Two HDhomerun prime with cable cards. Been working a long time. Seems like anything protected not working. Can watch channel on Windows 10 box with HDHome run app? Mediacom. Can't...

I've been using the HDHomeRun CONNECT tuners for years now with WMC 7 and they've worked great for me. But if I ever needed to get a replacement, I don't know if the new models of Silcondust's tuners will work with WMC 7 (namely the HDHomerun FLEX DUO). The product descriptions on Silcondust's...

I've been juggling a lot of recordings around in order to record as much of the Olympics as possible.

One of the things I've needed to do is offload recordings from the WMC recorder storage drive to an external USB drive in order to free space for new recordings.

I've added the E:\Videos\Olympics...

Ok, the other day I was having a few issues with a tuner and I set 4 shows up to record at once. Well one of those shows ended up being sportscenter. Now it is recording every single sportscenter episode.

I've tied rescheduling the recording and canceling multiple times, in addition to restarting...

Running on the same W7 system for many years with windows updates turned off. I have a recent problem that is making WMC randomly hang. It only happens during ui actions. Playback is not affected. Randomly when an action is selected WMC hangs for up to 5mins. It always comes back, but it is very...

I've positioned an indoor antenna behind my TV, that amazingly, receives all my local OTA boradcast stations on my TV. I have a Media Center PC with 2 Ceton InfiniTV6 tuners, but Cox Cable has recently swtiched to transcoding all broadcasts to only 720p, at a low bitrate with lots of...

I've been using WMC for 16 years or so and have never seen this before. I changed cable packages recently and when trying to add in more channels in EPG123 some things got messed up, which ultimately lead me to re-set and re-setup WMC. Once I got it back up with a full populated channel list and...

Any ideas why ONE station won't come in the scanning the OTA channels?
I have two SiliconDust tuners and with their apps, I can see all the channels, I can play channel 13.1-13.5, but the WMC doesn't find the ABC Chanel 13.1-13.5 (physical channel 11 VHF).

I give up :( Been using HDhomeRun with comcast and WMC as my recorder but MCEbuddy can not take the video and reload it without commercials back to my server. People over at MCEbuddy said Windows has the file locked and I can't figure it out. So looking at NextPVR as my recorder I already pay for...

Anyone know what causes this?
If I have WMC playing in full-screen and then I Alt+tab to switch to another window, the audio and video pause for just a moment.
Anything I can do to make it continue playing without interruption?
