New Windows 7 install and WMC problems
WMC and my ceton echos had been working fine for 4 years. Last month I did a batch windows update and it killed my ability to use the Echos. After struggling for 2 weeks, I gave up and reinstalled Win 7.
I installed the Silicondust package. It allows me to see my HDHomerun using the viewer. I made NO changes to the HDHomerun Prime on the network.
I tried the Digital Cable Advisor and it kept on saying that it was not available. I downloaded the DCA package from here and it worked and my computer passed the test.
I went to set up the TV Signal and it does not find the HDHomerun Tuners! Tried multiple reboots but same problem.
I feel like Microsoft is doing everything to limit the usage of WMC.
Any tips on how I can setup the TV signal?

Run HD Homerun setup app, does it detect your tuners? If there is an error it will pop up a dialog box that points to the forum for troubleshooting steps. This worked for me:
Windows Media Center reports No tuners found when trying to complete TV setup - HDHomeRun PRIME Back to top
1.Open HDHomeRun Setup and verify that the tuners are found and that no UPnP error is received.
2.Open Control Panel, select View network status and tasks, and make sure the network is listed as Home/Private network.
3.Click on Change advanced sharing settings.
4.Verify that Turn on network discovery is selected, and click Save Changes if needed.
5.Open Computer Management (right click on Computer, choose Manage) and click on Services in the left column.
6.Verify that the SSDP Discovery Service is not Disabled, and is Started.
7.Verify that the HDHomeRun Service is not Disabled, and is Started.
8.Verify that the Windows Media Center Receiver Service is not Disabled, and is Started.
9.Close the Services Management window.
10.Open Command Prompt as Administrator (Start > All Programs > Accessories > right click on Command Prompt > Run as Administrator).
11.Run: c:\windows\ehome\ehprivjob.exe /OCURDiscovery
12.The command must be typed exactly as shown. Anything that is already present in the command prompt window should be ignored. Just type in the above command. This should list the HDHomeRun PRIME tuners.
13.Reopen Windows Media Center and access the TV setup wizard again.
