even after you told me a hundred times about the task bar icon, I never made the connection until a day or two ago.

It is so easy to update ones schedule, you deserve another donation. I can be so thick some times. Thank you

Evening, all,

I'm at my wits end here - I've tried the registry hack (logical width dropped by a pixel) but the white line at the right hand side of the screen persists; I thought I had seen someone posting about permissions that had to be set for it to stick as well? Can't find it now though....

Merry Christmas everyone!

I have been using a W7 Media Center for close to 10 years. There have been some headaches, but I enjoy it immensely. Recently, I noticed choppy playback on various channels when viewing via an Extender. Before I get too far in, here is my setup

Hello all.

I've long since wanted to change a few things in the way WMC works that are not accessible via user options or registry entries.

One thing is I want is to change is how music albums are sorted in the album view under the genre sub-menu. The default is by album title, but it would be...

So I had been running exclusive audio mode with 2 channel stereo in Windows Sound, and getting normal Dolby Digital AC3 bit-streamed to my TV and then ARCed out to my AVR. My cable company is now converting all the channels to 720p, with DD+ audio, so I thought I would revisit my output. I already...

I have a couple of ideas in my head and Reddit hasn't really been any help and had to find some answers myself.

Instead of doing a clean install of Windows 7 64-bit and then reconfiguring Media Center, Programs, Cablecard verification, etc just to use a 8GB stick of memory seems like lots of...

Hi. Up to this build, WMC 8.8.5 worked on my machine perfectly. After upgrade from 21270 to the latest 21277 prerelease and WMC 8.8.5 reinstallation I have problem with TV tuner (Hauppauge HVR-2200). When WMC run, I've chose my standard options (country: Poland, region code etc. and source: DVB-T...

We bought a new windows 10 laptop for Christmas and it has the latest windows 10 updates. My main WMC system is Windows 7 Premium on a hdhomerun cablecard. COX is DRM happy. Is there a way to access recoreded shows on the newer windows 10 builds people have been able to figure out. It looks like...

Hello,

For long months now, I use MCImportXMLTV to get the guide in MCE. But since few days, the program doesn't work anymore and I don't know why.
Do someone have the same problem ?

Thanks

Hi folks, it's been awhile and since I haven't used my Ceton ETH6 and Echo setup in awhile (vs hauppauge 4 Tuner ota ) I'm offering it up for nearly any reasonable amount, plus shipping/fees for any one that can find it a home. Worked great when I had cable just dumped it for ota... Now I'm all...

Newbie here so plz go easy. I use a basic RC6 ehome receiver and Harmony 650 remote. Discrete power on use to work until last Win10 update but now only power toggle will turn on HTPC. When HTPC is in standby the ehome receiver response (light flashes) when power toggle button pressed but not with...

Hey all, been trying to figure this one out for a minute but all my searches return unrelated things.

It used to be that the only issue I ever had with displaying pics in WMC while music was playing. was to make sure they were not too large (IE file size). 6ish years back I went to Germany and...

After many years of great functionality, I have just rebuilt my ailing Windows 7 Media Center with a new mother board, reusing my Zalman HD160XT HT PC case. All is working well, but my card reader included with this case does not work any longer. I was able to get the reader recognized, but it does...

I just learned that the Xfinity Stream App now has capability to live stream cable to Google Chromecast device using your phone. Quality looks excellent from testing. This has me rethinking my network setup. This essentially would let me:

1. Rent 1 less cable card from Comcast (I rent two)
2....

Trying to get organized in a particular way for power/vacation reasons.
I am concentrating my network, and am close to being able to turn off the ONT, the router, and various stations and just have the HTPC with HDHR powered and UPS'ed during vacations for OTA.

I happen to like wired networks, and...

I've been running Windows 7 with Media Center and an Xbox 360 for years without a problem (pretty much as soon as the Xbox 360 came out, had WMC since XP). I have the SiliconDust Connect Quatro for over the air TV. Recently, but I don't know exactly when, the 30 second skip button seems to take...

Hi
