Just thought I'd let everyone know that WMC v8.9.1 is still working great after updating to Win11 23H2, in case anyone was on the fence to update. :thumbup:

You're in the Windows 11 thread. Windows 11 will never support cablecards. In addition WMC doesn't control cablecards, the tuner does. If you have over-the-air (OTA) stations available in your area, then all you need is an antenna and OTA...

Hello Windows users, I have been encountering a problem on my Windows 11 media center. Actually when I watch live TV, the green button turns black. Could anyone please help?

Last post

I'm pretty sure that someone would have responded if your post had explained that the screen turned black as that is a fairly common problem.

I looked at it and thought 'the green button turns black' UH - no idea what that could be - sorry.

I know this is documented, but I can't find it now despite much effort, so my apologies. I have been using WMC for years, and that's part of the problem.
I have forgotten what I have to do to see Settings->TV->Guide->About Guide Listings, and I have lost this on my HTPC after upgrading to Windows...

Thanks Gary, that sounds familiar! I didn't see the result right away after following your instructions, so I did Save and Execute in the server, then all was well. Thanks!

Any ideas ?

Last post

Can you see the Media Center Tray Applet in the taskbar all the time or does it disappear after a while?

If it disappears, it may be that the startup shortcut is missing or disabled.

Alhough WMC kicks off the process, it gets shut down after a while.

However the green button on the remote needs...

I'm currently in the process of updating my systems from Windows 10 to 11. At the same time, I'll need to re-install WMC which was originally installed from the old 8.8.5 zip files. I'd like to migrate to the .MSI for easier upkeep. What would be the best procedure here?

From what I can tell,...

Last post

That's good to know for the future. So while it was not necessary at all, it also wouldn't hurt anything as it would be rebuilding the database with the one that was just restored.

Its nice to go to ONE spot to get info with others you trust on here.

My Question was is Win11 WMC solid that you can walk away from like WMC on 7 ? Which is the best ! I am being forced out with my old machine :(

Last post

If that's not the case, and Cablecard does work in 10/11 just not for PlayOnce DRM protected channels, I'd love to know that. I'm in the same boat -- really don't want to run Windows 7 anymore, but I'm on cablecard but without any DRM protected channels. It's just for access control.

I'm afraid not. Everything to do with extenders they broke in Windows 10 is still broken in Windows 11.
