I would do a system image backup and create a system restore point before installing any drivers, this way if they don't work properly with WMC, you can go back to the old ones easily (first try going back to the restore point, and if that fails, you can try installing the old drivers and if that...

My system has always been fairly dependable. I sometimes tweak things that breaks things but, for the most part, it's completely hands off. I started on WMC back in Windows XP Media Center edition, Was in Vista with Cable cards (beta tester for Microsoft on Vista and Windows 7, I also has some...

the RCA doesn't have a select button also there isn't a dedicated green button not I big deal I'll learn the RCAs green button as the green button.
it's weird I can't jump directly to a channel we have another RCA controlling none WMC TV and it will jump directly to channel will also return to last...

The Harmony should work if you have the MCE IR Receiver for it to aim at. The IR Blaster takes your remote signal and transmits it via wired sensors to the cable box so it can change channels.

If this is your motherboard, here's how I would start.

Items with red border:

Install CPU with fan
Plug in PSU to motherboard
Plug in ATX CPU
Plug in CPU fan
Please note that this initial configuration does not include RAM (or anything else) .

Numbered items:

USB keyboard
Monitor...

Thanks for the feedback.

Hauppauge got back to me.....off to ordering.

Hello,

We’ve not tested with your specific motherboard but the WinTV-quadHD should be recognized as it is based on current PCIe technology whereas your HVR-1850 was last manufactured in 2009 and may not be recognized on...

They say they will continue to maintain the Harmony database and software.

And as we have seen with past products (WMC anyone ?), that it just a matter of time... The clock is ticking...

Glad I still use a Pronto Pro remote... And it looks just like Windows Media Center :)

Thanks for your reply - I did actually end up going for something similar to what you suggested, but it's going to take a while to ship to the UK:

I did see the Flirc USB receiver but was under the impression that it would need manual programming with all the buttons... unless it has a Use MCE...

Hi

I have an aging Shuttle PC with an Athlon CPU and a BTG dual TV card, which won't record HD channels. The video o/p is something like 64MB lol,so looks really washed out on my new Smart TV. I'd like to build a new system with HD video and dual tuner capable HD with a case that has a small...

Interesting and potentially helpful. When I saw those movies were not playable I deleted them so out of luck there, but you do provide some other ideas going forward and I much appreciate. Clearly I need to make back ups more often. They say that RAID is not a substitute for backing up and this...

Wow, did not know that. Much appreciate your tip. Will look into that. Many thanks! Guess it's a good thing I have a RAID setup

WMC running on a Windows 7 box, with a USB eHome infrared receiver connected. WMC remote will not work unless I go into Device Manager and disable, then subsequently enable, the eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR)
This sounds similar to a long-standing problem that exists with certain WMC IR...

Just bought a Logitech Harmony Companion remote with the base. Took me three days to get it to work. Two big issues:
1) TV would power off between activities. The other activity is Apple TV. So when I switched from WMC TV to Apple TV, it would power off the TV. Had to use the PC based application...

Hey all, I have one of these Veris Basics that I dont have a remote for. Can I program one like a universal remote?? Anyway if someone wants one id sell mine I got it with some computers i got from my employer it looks good but i haven't verified if it works yet, however all other components work....

Does anyone know if Intel released these to the general market or only to OEMs?
In the past I purchased a new Intel i7-6700t from www.quietpc.co.uk. When the 6th generation was superseded, Quiet PC listed the more-recent generations. However, currently they do not list any t-series CPUs.

I later...

I believe this error is related to the HDMI connection. First thing I would verify is if your HDMI cable is securely connected to both your PC and TV. If you have a spare HDMI cable, try swapping it out to see if that resolves your issue.

It can also be related to the video card drivers, in some...

I'm sure cablecard recording worked with 8.1. 8.1 broke every extender except the XB360 though. I'm not sure driver support would be easy on 8.1, and I know others have had a really hard time activating 8.1 media pack keys, and there is a stict procedure you have to follow in order to install it. I...

I know this is a old(er) thread, well a few months old, no one else said ANYTHING about the cablecards that this OP uses. I know there is a back door method to get Silicon Dust’s Prime working in Windows 10 but, this does not work with Premium channels or anything with DRM attached to them. Some...

One other important finding- the boxes under Exclusive Mode on the Advanced properties tab need to be checked in order to get DD to the receiver. I just tried this with the Realtek Driver as well and was able to get DD out from Emby. Progress! Windows must be unable to mix sounds from various...
