I'm getting the attic converted so have had to lose my attic DTT aerial :roll: . Always got c.70% signal on WMC (W10), though now & again got pixelation, with my Blackgold BGT3540. I installed one of these aerials instead as it's discreet & clips onto Satellite dish which is roughly in direction of...

I have WMC PC with an infinitv 6 PCIe that is fortunately working fine. I have however had a PC go on me after a recent power outage, so I started looking into building a backup WMC PC.

I did a fresh install on another PC, moved the infinitv over to the new machine and went through the setup...

I doubt that gradually changing things in any way would allow it to continue working, as that would be a simple way to circumvent the copy protection mechanism which is it's entire purpose and had to be certified by a very strict cable-run authority (CableLabs).

CableLabs is the reason that...

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...

If you read my post, I explained I tried both and took the screenshot after trying (zero) .

I even highlighted the note in bold.

But yes, It appears I did somehow swap two of the chars. Oops.

I've had the app working for several days now. No need to continue.

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...

For the benefit of anyone else reading, the key is fine. You do have to take care when entering it.
Whilst you can't copy/past the whole key, the safest way to avoid mistakes is to copy/paste each individual block of four characters into the corresponding input box.

Turned on the XBox 360 today only to find a long lag spinner on the screen and then oddly says I'm logged into XBox Live but says when it gets to the main screen I'm not logged in. Confused? I think go into MCE and it's giving the usual need to download the codec or whatever to watch anything. Is...

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 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.

Edit: Just seen that you also posted in another forum and holidayboy already provided it.

Since I updated to v1.8.2.11, my existing scheduled task does not run. The last time it ran was when I ran it manually. There is no error indicated and nothing in the trace log since the manual run. Task Scheduler history is also silent. Did I forget to do something after the program update?

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