Another strange problem that I'm sure is on media center.
Spectrum channel 227 here is insp channel and when I use their box the channel comes in fine but shows no signal in WMC.
Any ideas?
Last post
As for the 2nd suggestion it does say no signal and if I go to an unsubscribed channel it does tell me that I need to subscribe. I will see if I can find out about the IPTV thing.
thanks for the input

I am assuming the Signal Transport Adapter is an external Tuning Adapter? Cablevision just sent me one, I am not sure if they activated it though. Did you always have the Signal Transport Adapter or was there a recent need for it?

I believe that Playready for windows 7 is different to the version required for Windows 8 and Windows 10 so presumably it would need to be reinstalled after the upgrade.
