Missing channel in Windows 8.1

[cmax]

Hi,

I hope you can help me.

I got Windows 8.1 WMC and HDhomerun tuner, and Cable TV.

My problem is that I can’t see any broadcast on the screen if I want to see one specific channel – there is sound, but no picture. All the other channels is working fine I WMC. If I see this channel (who don’t work on the pc) on the tv – it works fine, and I can also see the channel on HDhomerun Quicktv.

Some says it’s problems at Microsoft, and that there is a bug in Windows 8.1 WMC, but I don’t know if that’s the case.

Regards
Cmax

I think it's od - nowbody wants to help.
If i ask the cable company they say it not there problem becaus I can see the chanel om my tv (they may be right)
If I ask HdHomerun they say there nothing wrong
If I ask Microsoft DK they say it's the cable company who shall solve this
so in between this - is little me -without any picture on the MCE on this channel - all the rest is working fine.

Happy christmas to all of you.

Okay, since you can view the channel using QuickTV and on an actual TV, I think the issue is probably with WMC or your HTPC.

Have you tried re-running the WMC setup? Have you tried a clean install of Windows?

Filter on the line? what is the channel and channel number you are trying to tune?

My htpc (brand new Asrock Vision 321) is installed with one new Windows 8.1 mce - and I have re-runned the setup in wmc several times.

I don't know if i understand you quiestion - but this is a Danish channel called "Canal 8", which acording to my hdhomerun uses

tune: ch858-7340

Hi
from Hdhomerun it should be for "8900 randers c":

a8qam256-6875 786MHz-37 97 CANAL8 Sport 720x576i 16:9

but in Windows mce is there the following:

frekvens 858 Mhz¨

so could that be the problem, and if it is - is there any way I can change the information i Mce.??

is'nt there any who can tell if this is a problem that Windows MCe got another mhz than my digitaltuner.??

The danish Microsoft wount do a thing - they say it's the cable company and the copration behind this channel who got the problem, but the channel works on my tv, but not i mce, so I thought is was mce who have wrong information about this specific channel.

Hi

Got this answer from HDHomerun:

Something about the way the channel is encoded is causing a problem for the Microsoft video decoder. There is nothing we can do at the tuner level to change the behavior of the Microsoft decoder. Microsoft is no longer actively developing WMC so it would not do any good to report the issue to them.

Silicondust Support

And when I contact the danish Microsoft they say is't not their problem, and that they not support MCE any longer. Nice to have bought MCE this summer, and now they dont support it any longer. They say I have to get another program, so I can se the missing channel.

What a company - that maybe the reason why many goes to Mac instead.!!!!
