Posted many months ago, still no service but I have not given up yet. When I go to : Under Tuning Adapter I get TR status: Disabled. Can someone verify if this is this normal?

I am running media center on windows 8.1 and have and xbox in another room as my extender. It has worked perfectly for years.
Now it has started to just quit playing. No error messages and when I go to the menu and then rerun media center about 50% of the time that doesn't work.
So now its almost...

To spare the SSD system drive of write cycles I've always had the Recorded TV directory on an external USB disk drive (traditional rotating rust platter).
Today decided I'd like to put the guide/database their too.

Figure to create a symbolic link from C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\ to...

Since the latest Windows update, media centre now crashes when displaying my music albums.

Normally it displays them in Album Artist order. When I scroll across to artists beginning with P , media centre program crashes and restarts.

If I switch to album order, it crashes and restarts somewhere...

Hi,

Is it at all possible to play protected wtv files on the same computer that has now been upgraded to Windows 8.1? The original protected files were recorded on the same device when it had Windows 7 installed. Has anyone succeeded in doing this?

I upgraded my computer from 7 to 8.1 for support...

Has anyone ever tried using a screen recording program to record programs on WMC? If so, does anyone have a suggestion for a screen recording program that records in high quality and is able to use the system audio? I would use the XBox Game Bar but of course that's only available on W10.

My cable...

Hello,

I have InfiniTV ETH6 Tuner(I Know there is another forum that specifically discusses Ceton InfiniTV, but at this point I don't think it's hardware).
I have been running in dual boot mode with Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Pro. Win 7 system is still fine, getting WMC to work on 8.1 Pro has been...

Hi everyone, I have an HDHomeRun Prime with Windows 8.1 Media Center edition.

I just moved to a new apartment and switched TV providers. (Cox to Fios) With Cox, I was able to tune to channel 1007 for my local ABC (WJLA) and all was well. With Fios, it's channel 7.1 When tuning to channel 7.1 in...

It was fun getting the upgrade to work, but I may not able to afford Cable soon... :( So I am faced with hoping that Spectrum Time Warner will lower my cable bill, and lowered by like a lot, or I will need to return my Cable Card and Set Top Box and get rid of cable. Last time I tried, they did not...

I am considering upgrading an existing Windows Media Center 7 system that has recordings flagged as Copy None/Copy Once (after all, it's not regular TV, it's HBO). I tried to do a dry run using a test system (Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 Pro) and it seemed like the upgrade wiped WMC before I could get...

So now that I know that my move to Window 8 will work, I do a Custom install on my only working MCE box, and I get the message The product key is already being used on another PC. Try a different key, or buy a new one.

So I sill have my VM, but it is not running. How do I uninstall the key in the...

Can anyone send me or PM a link for PlayReady v1.3.10 (filename playready-v1.3.2313.10-amd64.msi) for Windows 8? I did a fresh install of Windows 8 and WMC and now my live TV setup gets stuck trying to install PlayReady. That's the short story. Continue reading below for the long version if you...

I read all the posts in regards to this subject matter and it appears I’m stuck with win7 if I want to keep using xbox360 extender. If that’s the case, I might as well just use win8 key to upgrade to windows 10. Feels like another page is ripped from WMC chapter but last 8 years of win7 WMC usage...

I upgraded to win8.1 pro with MC just now and it seemed to go fine. However, now all the channels seem to suffer from pixelation and dropouts. This is odd, since no hardware has changed since win7 was running without any problems of this sort. The tuner is the HDHomerun Quattro and it still works...

Pickuped the latest W8.1 Jan 2020 update and now my CNN channel goes to display error . In the past I stopped windows media client receiver services and did a re-do on the TV Signal-> Update PlayReady. Everything worked and I could play CNN Live TV.

Any suggestions?

Hello all,

I have been having a playback problem for a while with WMC. But I figured I could live with it because my HDHomeRun app would run TV just fine. But with all the changes at the first of the year with Windows no longer having free program guides I figured I should try to resolve it.

I...

I’m on windows 7 and everything works fine, but with the ending support of windows 7 and since I do use my HTCP as also a normal PC,

Should I update to windows 8.1? I have both a license for windows 8.1 and the media center.

Thanks.

Low and behold I found two different paid for keys that windows 8.1 pro likes. The wizard say we are on the way to upgrade WMC 8.1 Pro and then it goes oops something went wrong. I may have to call Microsoft. Replacing W8.1 pro action pack activated key. When I just try changing my key it says cant...

I'm confused and lost. I got EPG123 to work with my 8.1 pro media center, but I cannot for the life of me get the epg to update. I have the DVR service on my Win10 machines but DVR is not available on my 8.1 machine. I'm using the 3 tuner HD Homerun Prime with a cablecard. Whats the path to the...

The Hardware is 2 Hauppauge HVR-1600 cards and one HVR-1800 in a PC running Windows 8.1.

Due to an FCC mandated Repack on one of my local stations I had to re-scan my tuners. The result was a signal strength of 1 out of 6 bars in the WMC UI for every tuner but was still able to view live TV, every...
