    - Video Playback Error w/ WMC and 360 Hi all, I am running Vista 64sp1 with a wired gigabit network to 360. WMC was working fine on 360 about a week ago. Now it boots up, I can see the guide and recorded shows, but when I try to watch them I get Video Playback Error: Files needed for video playback are not installed or not working properly. Please restart media center or pc. I am not sure if this happened when I installed sp1 last week or something else caused it. I disabled and reinstalled 360, rebooted pc, etc., to no avail. Any ideas? Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180587

    - Media center and Xbox 360 Wireless to wired issue Hi and hopefully someone has a solution to my issues. I have a Hp with Vista media center and it is running McAfee and Widows firewalls. The problem is, I originally had my network set up as wireless from my computer to my router and the Xbox 360 was wired to the router. I wanted to increase my connection speed so I wired my computer to the router. My previous setup allowed me to connect to the xbox as an extender without any issues but he minute I changed to a wired connection the media center won't recognize the xbox. It still appears on the network when you look at the full map of network devices. I went through all the programs and made sure that media sharing is active with the xbox. I changed to different ethernet cables, disabled all firewalls, and everything else I could think of to figure out what was wrong. I talked to the support for my router, HP and xbox with no solution. I even called McAfee to have them help. I now refer to you guys and gals for a solution as no one else seems to know what the hell they are talking about and it is really getting upsetting. Thanks in advance Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180576

    - Live TV no Longer loads - Guide Down load fails After many months of WMC working OK., I can no longer open live tV. Clicking on the Icon and nothing happens. When I go back through setup the tuner is recognized and it allows me to select cable. Also the guide will not download and when it fails it gives error code 13. Obviously I am connected to the internet with a valid connection so a look up on error code 13 was not helpful. Any suggestions on a fix. my recent attemp to update all drivers using MS WU and install sp1 did not solve this problem. All other funtions of media center are fine. for example I can use on-line media and play previously recorded TV Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180572

    - Blue screen after Installing Media Center Previously, I had problems with my computer not shutting down properly and the the "Blue Screen" (BS - hope that is an ok abbreviation) of death. I re-did the whole system. Everything was great; a lot faster too. Then, I installed Media Center. Again, the computer would not shutdown properly and I again have the BS again. I get the error message in the BS mode - DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. The computer then goes through the whole hard drive and checks it out. When the computer comes up again Microsoft tells me it is caused by NVidia Grahics Driver. I have update the driver and also the Motherboard. I still have the problem and do not know what to do about it. I have another question. I have an ATi HDTV Wonder PCI tuner card. I get it to accept the digital channels, but it does not read in nor ask about the analog channels that come through the cable from Verison's CAT5 cable. Is that normal? Without Media Center it did both digital and analog. Thanks. -- Enjoy computers Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180565

    - Guide Does Not Update Hello, I've had years of service from this WMC box without problems but now the guide won't download. I get no error message and when I go to the guide I receive a pop-up that says the guide data is downloading but it never finishes. It has run for days. I can run the browser and connect to different sites so am thinking that the internet connection is OK. I've ru through the config dialog where I put in my zip and then choose a provider. Again it shows the status that the guide is downloading but the status proceeds about 3 dots worth and then no more. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    - Only one Tuner works! I'm setting up my new HP Pavilion Ultimate D4999TPC. This is my second, since the first one I had to return b/c it had all kinds of problems (such as no internet access). It's equipped with dual ATSC-NTSC TV tuner, PVR, FM tuner, REM. One card is Hauppague WinTV HVR-1600 (NTSC/ATSC combo) and the other card is ViXS PureTV-U 48BO (NTSC/ATSC combo). Total of 4 tuners. I have analog cable (coming out of the wall and I use a splitter to connect to the tv tuners). 1st problem: When I do auto config, it either comes back with no tuners found or only one tuner found but detects my analog cable as antenna. 2nd problem: When I do manual config, only the NTSC connector would work on the Hauppauge card and I get nothing on the ViXS card. With the previously returned unit, I was able to get both tuners to work on the Hauppage card, although, sometimes the ATSC tuner would quit and I would have to restart the computer (sometimes 2 or 3 times) and then it would work again. Another issue I have with this new system while the previous system did not have this issue, is when it's recording something, I cannot go to "live tv" even though it's the same channel that it's recording. Conclusion: I'm stuck with only one usable tuner out or 4! The useless tech support tells me I cannot use both tuners on the same card. They say it's impossible, even though that's exactly what I did with the previous system. They want to send me another Hauppauge card to replace the ViXS card (which also has the FM tuner so then I would not have an FM tuner). He said with two seperate Hauppage cards, I would then be able to use 2 tuners. This does not make sense to me. I should be able to usee both tuners on the Hauppauge card as I did before. Oh, one more thing with this system (and not with the previous system), When downloading the Guide, I would keep getting "download incomplete--Code:13" And then eventually, after a bunch of tries, it would finally complete. My wireless status is "excellent." Please help!! Thank you!!!! Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180548

    - Replacing poor MCE tv signal with external STB signal/feed The Windows Media Center PC that i have obviously has an internal tv card built in. Quite a few people have said it is not reknowned for it's quality. I have a couple of digital tv set top boxes that provide superb quality pictures and sound. In detrimental contrast to that, the digital tv receiver in the Media Center, or pc?, i'm not sure which it's a part of, suffers from interference and picture break up, as well as failing to find channels. It often states that a channel can't be found because the signal is weak. However, i can assure you that the signal at the end of the coax cable going into the pc is not weak and i have tested it the cheapets set top box i could find. The cheapo stb found and displayed every single channel perfectly. In view of the above, i was wondering if i can get the media center to use the 'out' signal on the STB in preference to it's internal tuner card. The connection is via the coax input socket on the back of the pc. I'm confused as to whether, when one connects and sets up the MCE to work with a STB, it uses it's own tv card signal or the STB's signal. If it is the latter then that is perfect as i can just reset the MCE to use the superior STB feed. Therefore, my question is: in such a set up which signal is being used?. Many, many thanks in advance for anyone who knows the answer to this question for sure, and also shares it here of course. -- this SHAM of DEMOCRACY leaves NO CHOICE sham.manchesterpaul.net for Life, Love, Peace, Justice and Truth Who_Murdered_Democracy If you pass me by - Such a shame, shame, shame Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!!

    - Recording when hooked up to Dish network I have only had my media center for about 2 weeks. I think I have all the right things hooked up. I went through the wizard and have all the stuff hooked up. I watch live tv just fine. The problem I am having is with the recording. I can set it up to record two programs. But when the program comes up to record, it only records what I am watching on my regular tv. I have gone through the changing channels and it does that correctly. It wont record only what is on my regular tv. If my dish box is turned off, it will only record the away message that dish network has on. I have read everything and search all over trying to find an answer for this and I cant, so I thought I would throw it at you and see if you can help me with this. I must say, I do have the dish network box with the DVR in it, will this prohibit me from recording on my media center? All I have been able to do is record directly what I am watching, nothing that I have scheduled that would have to be on a different channel.

    - Channels Missing (Low Signal in MCE) -- But Work with WinTV app I am missing about half broadcast digital channels that are available to me in my area. My HDTV has a tuner and can receive these channels, and my Hauppauge HVR-1800 also can receive these channels using their WinTV software package on the same computer that is running MCE. How can I force MCE to allow me to tune these channels? It seems to me that perhaps MCE is assuming I cannot receive these channels, or it's looking at the wrong channel or something? Sorry if this question has been posed before, but I cannot find a solution to the above issue. Thanks! Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180484

    - Cable TV signal setup problems Hello, When I try to watch live TV using Media Center the picture is horrible. It is hard to make out what is going on and the picture flips across the screen. It looks almost as if something is set to the wrong channel. The audio is fine. I have gone through the setup numerous times. My cable tv is directly connected to the tuner card in my Dell XPS 410. I tried going through the setup and telling it I had a satellite or set-top tuner. Through these options it let me try 3 different channels for signal. Channel 2 looked like what I see, channel 3 looked much better but a bit fuzzy, channel 4 had no signal. Unfortunately, though, as this is not the correct setup for my direct cable connection I have to abort because it keeps telling me IR hardware not dtected. This used to work fine. Somewhere along the line the picture went and I just figured maybe something was wrong with the cable itself. It is definitely not the cable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - Pie in the sky! I may be behind the curve on this but... How about developing an open standard for controlling STBs via RS232, or IP? A standard that will allow MCE to truely talk to STBs and other media devices, sending direct commands and determining STB status, using something like streamed XML? This wouldn't just help MCE, but the Audio/Video industry as well. Then you can get around all this IR/UHF/STB frustration. MCEs only truly usefull if it can be configured so everyone in the house can use it, and they aren't all techs. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Function Keys on Remote Different STBs require different methods of interaction depending on their state, and MCE has no way of knowing the state of the STB. For example, my dish network STB resets every night, so I have to hit OK to turn it on. There is no way to do this via MCE, so somedays MCE just records a screen saver from the STB. Solutions1: Allow automation IR scripts to be run before a recording event. A script can consist of recorded IR sequences that are played back to the STB before a recording takes place. Solutions2: Add function buttons (eg F1,F2,F3) to the remote, and have the ability to have the function modes mapped to different IR commands. Therefore I could config F1 to map keys to IR commands specifically for the STB. Then if my STB gets out of Sync I can put MCE into F1 mode by hitting the key, and use my remote just like the STB remote to synch up the STB. This also opens the possibilty for mapping to other devices like SoundSystems. Solutions3: Just for the sake of throwing something else out there, how about an IR blaster that truely Blasts! All I can find are mini blasters that require a Bug to be taped over the STB eye. Kind of tacky to say the least. If I can control my TV from acrss the room, I should be able to have an IR blaster that can work from across the room. This would also help open up possibilities mentioned above. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Frustration with STB / IR and MCE in general Problem: Can't block channels. Even if I hide a channel in the guide, I can still access it directly using the remote. This means if I fat-finger the channel I can end up on one not supported by my STB subscription, therefore ending up on a menu that I can't get out of becuase.... MCE won't transmit my already mapped "OK" signal to the STB.

    - Colour ajustment I view XP Media Centre 2005 through a standard CRT PAL TV or a 720P projector. Up until I got the HTPC I watched the TV with a digital tuner signal (UK Freeview) via a SCART plug. When using the HTPC with Media centre it goes through S Video to the TV or projector. The picture looks fine on both from the digital receiver but is far too intensely coloured from the PC but I can't find any way of adjusting the intensity of the colour from within Media centre. I have tried a couple of the different "Color Profiles" available on the PC but they don't seem to make enough of a difference. It is more than somewhat annoying to look at this very unrealistic picture. Is there anyway to adjust the colour to be more realistic within Media centre or the PC?

    - Upgrade from 2004 to 2005 I would very much like to be able to install Windows Media Player 11 on my PC (so I can watch streaming movies from Netflix on the new monitor I just bought). Unfortunately WMP 11 does not work on WinXP MCE 2004. The manufacturer of my PC tells me there is nothing they can do to upgrade my system to MCE 2005 (and that I should just buy a new PC). However, I have seen references on this site to upgrading from MCE 2004 to MCE 2005. Can anyone shed some light on this apparent contradiction?

Anyhow, I reinstalled Windows some time ago with the CD instead of the factory image restore from the hidden partition. No problems, everything installed, working properly, and showing properly (except the vid card's memory) Quite a few months later bought the 300 GB drive to install, and after installation I noticed an unknown device in device manager. The hard drive is installed and working properly at this point, after some testing etc. the unknown device is definitely NOT the hard drive. I checked the properties of the unknown device checked out and searched the hardware strings on the details tab, and have come up with it's the Media Center Away Mode driver. From what I can tell searching, I can literally find nothing fruitful about how to fix this problem with the away mode driver. There is no away mode tab in Power Options either. I don't necessarily need the functionality of away mode, but I would like to get rid of this annoying entry in my device manager without uninstalling or disabling it. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions that don't consist of disabling/uninstalling? Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180404

    - Why is Media Ctr remote full screen? Recently purchased HP Media Ctr (MC) PC with Vista Home Premium on it with a TV Tuner/FM Radio card. It also came with a Media Ctr Remote. The sticker on inside of remote's battery door says Model TSGH-IR01 SW rev.A How do I get the remote to open or leave the MC window in a small window in lower right corner of screen, which is where I have it set to open when I open/operate MC commands with the mouse? If I open the MC with the remote (say the Radio) it always opens full screen! Even if I open the MC in TV mode by mouse but then want to change to Radio mode using remote the MC goes to full screen. Is there a way to "shrink" the full screen to the my normal small window using some remote button? Is there some type of operational manual for this remote? There is nothing in the MC's on screen Help about the remote. Thanks for any help/guidance ...... Rick Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180402

    - Computer Rebooting Automatically Hello, My computer has started rebooting itself over the last month, and it's been getting more frequent. It seems to happen when a decent load is applied. I thought it may have been a heat issue, but I got it to restart even when a fan was blowing into the tower. I have updated the drivers that I could, voltages seem to be fine, and have recently formatted and reinstalled Windows. Another forum has recommended running memtest86, which I will do as soon as I can, but I have swapped 3 different memory sticks, and it happens with each. Here is the error code for the most recent event: Error code 1000008e, parameter1 c0000005, parameter2 00000000, parameter3 b7377870, parameter4 00000000. I'm having difficulty finding the definition for this, so could someone help with that as well? Thanks! Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180389

    - Medion Laptop and watching TV Hi, As a real newbie to Vista, I have just bought a Medion Laptop with a DVB-T Tuner Express Card54, and Digital Aerial. I have tried many times to set up the tuner to watch TV but don't seem to get anywhere. I am not an experienced computer whizz, but neither am I a complete novice. I live in the mountains of Sth West Wales, UK, and we don't get digital TV as we can't get a good Ch 5 signal and we get really bad recetion on Analogue reception (we have to pay for Sky to even get a decent picture). So I assume that is why I can't get Digital on the Laptop? I am wondering if I should be able to get Analogue TV using this TV Card? I have tried to connect my Analogue roof aerial to the laptop, but still no TV. I have tried to get Digital TV at my mother-in-laws house but still no joy (she is in an area that can get digital). I can understand that I may not be able to get digital here where I live, but can't understand why I can't get anything in an are where I know that you can get it. I suppose I just want to know really if the TV Card is working as it is a new laptop, but don't know what else to do. Any advice will be gratefully received. Regards, Dalavon.

    - record to external hard drive I have installed an external hard drive and mapped it with a drive letter in windows explorer. I read several post on using an external hard drive but have not been able to get Media Center to record directly to the external drive. I was able to list the drive in the WatchedFolders string in registry but not able to list the external drive in the RecordPath string. Is there a precise way to list the external drive? The choice in the settings portion of Media Center/Recorder Storage has a +/- but does not function since only the C path is listed Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!!

    - Choppy Audio/Video HELLPP! So I've had my Gateway dual-core for a year or so now, but even fresh out of the box from Costco, video is super choppy. Unwatchable. Audio CDs same thing. Skips everytime the light on the drive blinks. However, it only happens on audio or video FROM CD or DVD. Audio/Video from tv or saved on the cpu play fine. Hard to call it a media center if I can't play any CDs or DVDs. This unit came with other players like "PowerDVD" and "DVD Solution", etc. Could these be the problem? Is it the drive itself? Hopefully just a simple toggle somewhere? BTW, I have over 100 GB of free space; don't think that is an issue. SOMEBODY SAVE ME BEFORE I THROW THE DAMN THING OUT THE WINDOW! Thanks...

    - MCE not working at all, XP Patch to blame? My MCE has been down for quite a while. Most of the functions and programs work but the MCE part does not. I can't even open The MCE When I try to have my XBOX connect as an extender, it doesn't work anymore. It says something about not finding the MCE. I've tried checking which services are running and not running but cannot find what is wrong. I may have downloaded an XP patch (update) and updated. Restoring has not worked. Could an XP (non-MCE) patch have messed this up?

    - Best practices for using media center on a PC/TV combination setti Question: While I can "make it work", I am not happy with the usability aspects of my setting and I am asking the community to show me the best way to get the best experience overall from my media center PC. Setup: 1. I got a m9100t (HP) with ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with PVR + remote, and a 512MB NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, TV-out, DVI-I, HDMI 2. I have Wall Antenna to splitter, one end to PC one end to TV 3. I have HDMI from PC to TV 4. I have DVI-VGA to PC monitor 5. I have 35mm audio from PC to Monitor speaker 6. I have Digital audio from PC to Receiver Problems: Video: The video can be set so that I have both monitors "cloned", or each one individually configured and one is primary and one is secondary. Cloned is out because then both need to have the same resolution, so that is not good. But if I set the PC as primary and TV as secondary, then I need to "drag" the media center from the PC screen to the TV. I guess that is ok, but will I always have to drag that thing back an forth? The real thing I am looking for is, is there an easy and fast way to switch PC and TV like you can in a laptop (alt F5). It seems very hard to go to the screen properties and configure it from there if I want to change primary and secondary. Why do I change primary and secondary? for example, if I run picassa, and I in picassa run the slideshow, it will always run on the primary screen, so even if I drag picasa to the TV, the slide show will open on the PC!!!! Sound: It seems the sound configuration has a "default" defined. So when the default is the PC speakers, the audio goes there even if I play media center or anything for that matter on the PC monitor or on the TV. the only way I manged to hear the audio on my receiver was to change the default to the digital out. But BTW, that change does nothing (audio still comes from the monitor) until you close and re open media center (or WMP). I expected it to either play both audio streams from both outputs, or at least give me a EASY way to switch... if this was not clear, please ask me for more info. Thanks, I am excited to get this working even better!! Tag: MCE video to Windows Mobile 6 format conversion HELP!!! Tag: 180367
