Reinstalling Windows 7 and Ceton and EPG123

I am reinstalling Windows 7 and Ceton and EPG123 due to problems. In the Media Center setup there was no option for Internet always on. I did the custom setup. It also said it was unable to install Play Ready and said I would be unable to watch or record protective content.

Try installing appropriate Ceton drivers, DCA (run from WMC 'Extras' menu group) & PlayReady (v1.3.0) manually before running WMC TV setup.

The latest version of EPG123 will open the media center setup page automatically. Older versions will go to a different page for TV Setup. To manually set your internet to not be always on go to settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > Set Up Internet Connection

Regarding the issue with the lack of an Internet option always available during the setup, you could check if your network adapter is properly configured and if there's a stable internet connection.

As for the Play Ready installation, there might be a compatibility issue with your hardware or operating system. Try checking the software requirements and updating your drivers, or reaching out to the software's support team for further assistance, or try alternatives like reddit windows keys legit.
