Has the problem ever been solved?
Now DisplayPort is HDCP compliant per the spec, it is just that no one modified WMC. Is there any Hack or registry voodoo to get it done? I have no HDMI port and am stuck at this point

I need to re-install Windows 7 on my HTPC. What do I need to do so that when I re-install WMC I can get everything back the way it was? (I'm using EPG123 for program guide).

Sunday night, like many, I experienced an EPG123 SD failure related to SD itself. At the exact same time I was setting up a manual recording, apparently. EPG 123's/SD guide is now back, but the Scheduled Programs area is not right as when I go to a scheduled show and select Do Not Record or do much...

Is there any way to do this maybe a registry key? I know if you use an external player like VLC you can do it that way. Not what what I am looking for

I'm setting up a new Windows 7 system and everything's working pretty good except for some reason there's one channel that won't show up in Windows Media center.

Can anyone recommend an EASY way to automatically move recordings from 8 client PCs on my LAN to my Synology NAS (on the same LAN)?

Windows Home Server used to do this, but since moving to Synology I have not been able to find a way to replicate this functionality (move each recording as soon as...

I have two issues I have been trying to fix, hopefully you guys can help me. I just had to switch from XBMC to WMC because I want to watch my ripped blurays and record tv (Infinitv4), and although I am missing XBMC, i know WMC is my only option if I want 1 program to manage both.

1. When fast...

Like almost everyone else, when I'm done watching TV I go 'back' to the main menu and leave WMC running when I turn off the TV. Occasionally, I have a solid green screen when I turn the TV back on, no cursor or anything.

I can press 'enter' and the screen comes back, displaying the channel guide....

Currently my recorded TV is saved on an internal HD. I am considering moving my recorded TV using Robocopy to my NAS (Apple Time Capsule 2TB). However, after doing some testing and manually moving over some recorded content to my Time Capsule, then adding that location to WMC Media Libraries, I've...

So, after the kill update, I had to wipe and reinstall win7 and setup from scratch. Took a day, but I got it running.

Then a few weeks later, Morning expanded to 4 hours. BUT, they added it by creating a new 1 hr time slot. They didn't expand the original 3 hr slot, they added another 1 hr slot!...

I was a faithful user of Windows Media Center for 10 + years. That being said, it is time to move on. For the past 6+ months I have been using Channels DVR and HD Homerun DVR. I prefer the Channels DVR ... guide/recording is much better. I have multiple Apple TV devices which I use. It is very...

I've been working on this for about 3 months!

My WMC with epg123 has worked great for a couple of years, but due to a problem with the cable provider, I had to re-run the TV setup. After this, the guide will not show any data. We have two PCs, and this has happened to both. Some setting has changed somewhere, but I don't have a clue how to...

I have two Xbox 360's that are WAY old, but work to take the broadcast through HD Homerun and go through that laptop that has Windows 7 and WMC on it. Xbox 360 then broadcasts to my tv. The issue is that when I turn on my system I have to turn the Xbox off then on again, then it works. Has anyone...

So I recently had a hard drive failure and lost everything.

From what I can tell, I need to run the Microsoft Digital Cable Advisor Tool, however that...

Hi All,

Last week I imaged my C: drive to get more space. Then I migrated all my media files from 4 HDs down to one new 8TB HD. So now I have a C: and M: drive only. I don't use the C: for any media or TV recordings. But now when I go into the TV Recordings on my MCE, I see two listings for every...
