Just released a new version. The big news on this one is that the installer/uninstaller and executable files are now signed so should lessen the trouble with UAC, SmartScreen, and AV/Firewall software. I encourage everyone to update to this version in order to increase my reputation score for that...

Yesterday I started my PC and opened WMC only to find that my guide data was gone. WMC wanted me to run guide/tuner setup again.

All my scheduled recordings are gone, but the recording history remains (strange). I opened the EPG client and it is completely blank.

So I ran WMC guide (selecting...

Last post

Thanks Gary, that answers all my questions. The scheduled task also works if I use my regular user account, but it was easier to change to Administrators. My Win7 PCs have been updated, so it seems I won't have the Get Latest Guide Listings feature until the next time I do a Win7 re-install.

ATSC and QAM turners are the same in hardware. WMC, during the Examining TV Signals phase, will tune your tuners to specific frequencies to try and determine if they are being used for ATSC or QAM. It sounds like you are getting some signal on frequency(ies) that are associated with QAM and WMC...

You cannot buy WMC for windows 10. WMC is not officially supported in windows 10. People on the internet have released hacked versions of WMC that do run on windows 10. You can find links to the latest version at the link below. But a few things to note about these hacked versions. 1) Drm cable...

I’m running WMC7 my Cable is through Spectrum and recently switched to EPG123. Everything seemed to go well, except no channels above 999 show up in the WMC guide. EPG123 Client guide shows all the channels on the right, the left only goes up to 999. Wondering why it’s only scanning 999 channels...

Last post

Thanks for the help Gary. For those wondering, my system was a cable card not STB so the correct registry key is Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\TV\Tuning Spaces\Digital Cable - MaxChannel . It was set to 999. Changing this to 9999 allowed me to add 4 digit channels.

I read about these indoor over the air HD antennas and how they work with one TV only.

Am I incorrect in my thinking or does the...

Antenna options for the OP depend strictly on the frequencies and signal levels available at his specific location (coordinates plus height AGL). There is no single unit that's good for all.
