I truly hope somebody can help me, I have now spent days trawling the net looking for a solution to this error.
Last Friday I installed a clean copy of Windows 7 Ultimate X64 Sp1, with everything up to date.
When I load a live FTA channel I am getting the dreaded PlayReady update error.
Update KB3004394 has not been installed
These are the solutions I have tried up to now and neither have worked. I am not sure what else I can try, the error has ruined my media system
Solution 1:
1) Go into Control Panel, click "Uninstall a program", and uninstall "PlayReady PC Runtime".
2) Run Windows Media Center. Update PlayReady by going through Tasks, Settings, TV, TV Signal, Update PlayReady.
Solution 2:
1) Quit Windows Media Center if running.
2) Open a cmd prompt - run as administrator. (start>All Programs>Accessories>CMD Prompt; right-click and run as administrator)
3) Run the following commands one at a time:
Code:
net stop ehrecvr
cd %programdata%\Microsoft\PlayReady
del *.hds
rmdir /s Cache
cd %programdata%\Microsoft\ehome
del *.hds
rmdir /s Cache
net start ehrecvr
4) Run Windows Media Center. Update PlayReady by going through Tasks, Settings, TV, TV Signal, Update PlayReady.
