Running WMC 7 at 4k 60Hz on my display and I'm seeing a thin strip of flickering black/white pixels on the right edge of the screen, only when using WMC. It's not a TV or HDMI cable issue as I've tried switching the cable and I have found a few other people online that are having the same issue...

Hello All,
Looking for help on this MC hang issue. So, I rebuilt Windows 7 OS on an existing system that is using Media Center already for years (2009). No new hardware changes expect a new SSD for the boot drive and the existing MC works still as I rebuilt this on a new SSD and change the cable to...

Hi everyone

I installed a new Cable Card in my Ceton Tuner. I went through the card setup in WMC. It says it needs my Product Key which I put in. Then it says it can't reach the internet. I can get on the internet with the browser. So, it is a WMC problem. How do I get WMC to see the internet?

I am presently unable to use my Ceton because WMC can't see the internet connection. If I buy a Silicon Dust Cable Box will
WMC still require Activation to record off the Silicon Dust box or is the cable card activated differently?

I installed a new Cable card in the Win 7 computer that I used last year with EPg and Signals Direct. I ran the tv setup an it hung at downloading in step 2 so I read I need to turn the always on internet off. But that is nowhere to be found. So I downloaded 1.7.3.0 to run it and give the computer...

Hi All. I am thinking about acquiring a new PC for my WMC setup. I have messed around with Kodi, EMby and Plex but the simple TV DVR interface of WMC cannot be beat. I am currently debating whether to try and run WMC on Windows 10 (but I have about 5 extender devices which I would like to continue...

I'm able to P2V my working protected content/CableCard physical desktop into an ESXi virtual machine.
But of course, the process upsets PlayReady which now wants to do an update .
And the PlayReady servers aren't listening any longer. So, it's not possible to update PlayReady.

Does anyone know of...

Just checked a recorded show in VLC and it has sound, so problem is with output, not input. Is this a HDHomerun problem? Any help much appreciated.

Not sure where to post this, but cannot program Media Center unless I know what is available to watch.
