I have a secondary 7MC computer in the office. It's modestly equipped by today's standards, but it's been working well for years. Dell Inspiron 560 with 4GB RAM.

In the last week, suddenly the computer has become unable to run Media Center. As soon as I launch 7MC, physical memory usage is...

NEW UPDATE: Reinstalling WMC did help, but the problem didn't go away completely until I put more RAM in the PC. Following an evening recording (the WMC GUI was not in use), one morning last week I turned the PC on to see that Windows had reverted to the basic theme instead of Aero Glass, no doubt...

I had to reinstall WMC 8.8.5 after updating Win11, and now the Date/Time on all of my WTV recordings is the ORIGINAL BROADCAST time/date, not when I recorded it.

This is annoying when I sort in Explorer looking for my most recently recorded episodes showing dates from 30+ years ago.

I use EPG123...

First, I tried copying the entire key and pasting it to the first box. But it only filled the first box, so I copied & pasted the remaining quads individually and got the invalid message.

I then tried changing the last character to zero to see if that was the problem, but it wasn't.

I closed the...

I just thought I would create this post just in case you haven't heard of Recorded TV HD.

Basically it is a different recorded tv interface that has a million options :)... You don't have to rename any of your files and it will automatically download background/poster art. You can also have...

Thx. I discovered that you can't Copy/Paste the key.

It must be typed by hand (and last character is indeed an O not zero .)

I have a working HTPC with the internal (PCI-E) 4-channel Ceton tuner and CableCard. This HTPC has been working very well for 16 years. I have only had to replace the HDD once. I am thinking ahead to the day when the MB fails. I have another Win7 machine with WMC installed. Can I just move the...

Last post

Cable cards are paired with tuners. So you probably would not need Cable Co. to do anything if you move both the tuner and card into a new machine. That said, as Gary said, if you need to get playready working on the new machine to view/record protected content you may well be out of luck on that...

I just uninstalled WMC and re-installed to correct some things. Prior to that I could be on the desktop and press the WMC button, live tv or recorded tv it would start WMC. Now that will not work. All other functions seem fine.
Any ideas?

I am not happy with the picture quality of WTV recorded Tv. I am comparing it to WTV playback using ZoomPlayer 8 with LAV Filter. When using WMC I am seeing jaggies in horizontal edges, I am seeing moving edges on channel logos, I am seeing pulsing and shimmering and moire patterns in fine details...

Here it is. Also uploaded to the Wiki. I'm not sure how well it works or useful it is now. Let us now.

When I originally set up this PC, I had two separate events, but I don't remember why I did it that way.

I have tried scouring the net and got .sys files without valid signatures and ehome cab files which won't install.

There must be somewhere where I can download the original Microsoft eHome Tranceiver software ???

Is your receiver using the RC6 protocol? It should carry the logo if it is. The drivers for Microsoft (Philips) RC-6 IR have been built into Windows for many years.

There are other standards which were used in Media Center remotes/receivers by some third parties; a common one was SMK Quatro Pulse...

Just got the latest windows update ( KB5031356 (OS Builds 19044.3570 and 19045.3570) 10/13/2023. WMC gives me the ALL CURRENT TUNERS IN USE when I try to go to live TV or recorded TV as well. So uninstalled and reinstalled WMC v13. No change. Did this happen to anybody else?

Last post

hmmm, didn't seem to want me to edit my previous post.

For anyone following this, I did install March and April updates on system running 8.9.1 plus mini mods. All seems fine with WMC in initial testing.
