Restore problem

[Marod]

Hi to all genius people,
i am allways gettig the following message, when i want to restore the backup file.


What could be the problem?

Are you trying to restore onto a fresh WMC? If so, you need to perform a TV Setup within WMC at least until it starts scanning channels in order to create the registry entries that EPG123 compares to.

For [Restore], you must be restoring onto a WMC that has the exact same tuners as when the backup was made. Have you removed the PCTV Stargate Tuner?

Hi Gary,
i did the client setup and everything worked.
No i didn't remove the tuners.

Could you send me the backup you were trying to restore to support@garyan.net? I'll see if the tuners in the backup are somehow tricking epg123 into thinking the tuners are somehow different than what is in the registry.

There is a way to bypass that check in this situation by holding the Ctrl key when you click the [Restore] button.

I got your backup, and I see that epg123 restore didn't see any of your tuners in the registry. So if you hadn't performed TV Setup prior to trying to do a restore, it will fail.

EPG123 will check the registry within HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\Video\Tuners. Within the subkeys, each tuner will have a tuner name ("DevName") that epg123 compares to. Do your tuners have a name different from what the mxf file says? It needs to be exact.
