Can’t tune any channels.

All the channels on the PSB2 Mux (ITV4, Reality Xtra, London Live, etc) are displayed with macroblocking when received using my TBS 6284 quad tuner card.
This occurs over the top third of the display whenever there is a camera pan or zoom.
I am confident this is not a signal strength issue as other...

Just streamed a movie with sound, and windows 7 has sound. There is no sound in windows media center. Any ideas? Please help!

I'm setting up a new Windows 7 system and everything's working pretty good except for some reason there's one channel that won't show up in Windows Media center. When looking at the client configuration of epg 123 the Channel shows up on both sides correctly however when I go in to Windows Media...

Hi Folks,

I have a Dell XPS Desktop computer that I've had an Analog Angel USB TV Tuner hooked up to for the past 5+ years that has worked great with Windows Media Center for that whole time, up until our Satellite tv provider changed all it's channels. I've tried to reconfigure it to find the...

Hi all, I'm located in Canada and have a Sony Bluray (BDV-E370) Home Theatre system which Netflix is dropping compatiblity for soon. The unit also has the ability to stream content from Windows 7 WMC. Therefore, is there a way to add Netflix to WMC which works in Canada?

Exasperated by the news that Channel 4 will only be showing one live F1 race next year (Silverstone), I finally decided to add a second LNB to my satellite dish to get Astra 19.2 and RTL. It turned out to be very easy to do, the most difficult bit being mechanical modifications to the dual LNB...

Hi Guys

I just came across the EPG123 guide software and have been able to setup my UK Freesat WMC HTPC with limited success. I ran option 1 then option 2 setup channels then did the schedules direct guide info.When i set a recording it records a different channel. The Sat card is a TBS6981.

As of last wednesday the BBC no longer provide internet radio feeds in .wma format. For me this resulted in being unable to receive any BBC radio stations via the MCE Shoutcast app. Tunerfree MCE or indeed a deskto radio gadget. There is just an anouncement saying the service is no longer...

Hi,

is anyone else getting any pixelation on the above channel recently? Not sure if they've changed the codecs etc, but probably every 15-30sec, we're getting a lot of tearing/pixelation occurring, so much so, that we can't record from that channel anymore. Live tv is affected too :cry:...

So I have to admit that I'm well out of touch with the whole HD / Sky card entitlement thing these days...

I have an old (white I think!) Sky card from about 5 years ago that is now set up as a FreesatFromSky card in a Dreambox purely to keep it alive - I don't use it to actually watch anything....

Looks like the Beeb are tightening up access to Iplayer. TunerfreeMCE is already effected :cry: (radio Iplayer programs gone) but Live radio and TV program icons are still there for the moment.
See here and Iplayer Help search on Nitro App.
Anyone know if this will cause or is causing problems on...

Here's an item to add to the When heck freezes over pile.

The BBC are trialling UHD 4k transmissions during the FIFA World Cup. They appear to be using DVB-T2 modulation and HEVC encoding on a dedicated multiplex from three UK transmitters. Now, DVB-T2 is not an issue for Media Centre, but HEVC is...

The BBC have announced the end of wmv downloads from iPlayer. They've also replaced their old Adobe Air download tool with something new.

I'm guessing this means the end of the iPlayer plugin I've been using for several years, as it streams the wmv files. Though I've not had a phone call from...

Hello. I was using the Colossus capture card with WM7 and a Bell 6131 Satellite Receiver. I updated to the latest driver for the Colossus card and then had a black screen. I uninstalled all of the programs and set it up again and now when setting up TV Signal in WM7, Bell Fibe TV is recognized but...

I'm running Windows 7 on a brand new Dell desktop (one week old - came with Windows installed). Last night when using my HuluPlus account online the tv show played but I had no sound. I opened Windows Media Center, clicked on the Audio icon at the bottom and it said there was a Volume Error - WMC...

I usually moan like anything about the complete and utter lack of response to any UK EPG issues, but, just this once, I need to be balanced and report some happy news as well.

Virgin have done a load of channel launches and renumbering this year, leaving the EPG a bit out of date. I raised Connect...

Anyone care to estimate when BDS/Red Bee will launch the corresponding guide data for WMC in the UK?

Yesterday I discovered that certain DVB-T channels were giving unwatchable reception (frozen video, intermittent audio). I noticed that all of the problem channels resided in the same MUX, namely the MUX that contains ITV4, FILM4, YESTERDAY, 4SEVEN, and a host of trivial channels and audio-only...

After installing a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 in a Windows 7 64bit Home Premium system, I find that for my location in Canada that Media Center will only offer me the analogue tuner option for an antenna input. It also indicates that it found an incompatible tuner that is not supported in my region -...

I recently upgraded the tuner card in my Win7 Media Centre PC. I went from a Hauppage NOVA-T 500 (dual DVB-T) to a Blackgold BGT3620 (Dual DVB-T & T2). This means I can now get the 4 Freeview HD channels (BBC1 HD, BBC HD, ITV HD and Ch4 HD). All the HD channels play and can be recorded without...

Hi,

I'm experimenting with Freesat Guide data. I'm using it over DVBLink 4.5.1

WMC Guide: I love the fact that it has the Repeat flag, original air date, and the HD Flags on some channels. The lineup I'm using is Sky Digital BBC London

EpgCollector: HD Flags where it has to, downloading over the...

As regular readers will know, I have been migrating from Vista to Windows 7 recently. The trouble is that I keep finding things that I do not like about Windows 7 Media Center. Recently I noticed that series recording is different.

On Vista, series recording is based solely on the programme...

Up until about a week ago I received Channel 4 HD through FreeSat in Media Center without an issue. About a week ago I noticed the channel had disappeared. I have tried doing some transponder scans and can't seem to pick it up again. Has anyone else had this issue or know how to resolve it please?...

I have an annoying problem with reception of high-definition channels (DVB-T2) on my system, and I am trying to narrow-down the possible causes. Strangely, the standard-definition channels do not exhibit this problem. If you satisfy the following conditions:

Hi all,

First of all the spec: Win 7, Geforce 9400gt, Asus G41MT-LX, LG 42 1080p tv. UK user.

For years, I've had homebuilt Media centre systems, always running a DVT-T tuner for Freeview & a DVB-C tuner for a virgin stb.

I have always had the Virgin stb set to widescreen & that has always been...

For those of you who don't follow Ian's stuff, he's starting to plan for a 3rd UK user group meeting. He's got a vote going about the location and is after any other help/suggestions. Any one interested?

Hi, just wondering if anyone can recommend a good USB DVB-S tuner. If it makes a difference to recommendations I have a £50 amazon voucher burning a hole in my pocket. Also it has to be USB as my HTPC has no internal expansion capabilities.

cheers!

Whilst I am temporarily without Media Centre I, for the first time, took my aerial lead and connected it to my TV last night. I was a bit surprised that it picked up everything, only having trouble with one mux – which frequency wise is far away from all the other muxes. I was surprised because in...

Hi,

Having (as per my other thread) finally caught up and bought a HDTV, I'm re-evaluating my TV requirements. Whilst analogue capture from Virgin in SD was perfectly fine on a SDTV, it sucks big time on a HDTV. I'm considering Freesat as a replacement and wondered if it is a viable and practical...

Hi

I just got live TV working again in my Media Center (Freeview over the air) using DVBLink TV Source. New digital aerial on the roof last week, all channels are present I think but I can't play Dave ja vu in Media Center or on the normal TV Tuner.

Has this channel gone off air ?

Thanks.

Hi peeps, has anybody here fixed the issue of the two PickTV channels not working via a Dreambox and DVBLink?

I know it's been an issue for a while, I just never got around to looking into it.

I'm looking at trying oscam but just wondered if anybody else has an alternative?
