Weak/No TV Signal must reboot

[raucous]

I have searched the forums already for a similar topic. Please forgive me if I missed this issue in a previous post.

After a few minutes of watching live TV via Windows 7 Media Center via over the air antenna, I inevitably get a weak or lost signal error message. After receiving this message, I am unable to view any channels unless I reboot the computer.

I live in a large city with excellent signal strength as confirmed with windows media center channel strength functionality, TV Fool report and viewed with my OTA antenna plugged directly into my TV. Maybe every 5 or so minutes, I will get minor signal interruption, but the image is crystal clear for 95% of my viewing time.

What can I do to prevent WMC from making me reboot to be able to watch tv?

Thanks!

You could try raising the weak signal threshold to a higher amount to see if that has any effect:

I forgot to mention I already ran that script and confirmed the correct value was created in the registry. Thanks for your feedback.

Bad DRM can also cause bogus weak signal errors. I had exactly the same issue, and this fixed it:
