In our environment, we have a central WMC server that drives a whole home DVR environment. The WMC has 2 SD (3 tuner) and 1 Ceton (4 tuner) CableCard boxes plus 5 Xbox 360 extenders to drive TVs throughout the house.
Before travelling, I will copy the WMC server's non-DRM Recorded TV and Videos...

I'm having a little bit of an issue. I lack the technical expertise of a lot of you out there, but I'm trying to get WMC to work in Win10 following the tips on this forum. I've been using WMC since Vista came out and don't want to give it up until I absolutely have to. I have a Hauppauge 2255 card...

This seems to have fixed it. Got the answer off of the My Digital Life forums. Couldn't find the exact post again, but here is what works for me. And my clock still works.
1. Right Click on Start, select Computer Management
2. Click Local User and Groups
3. Double Click Groups

Stole this from over on AVS Forums :
Is Media Center supported in Windows 10?
No. Persons who need to use Media Center should consider carefully before upgrading from their previous version of Windows. The Windows 10 upgrade will automatically remove any installations of Media Center.
So what...

Don't know if it will help but perhaps if everyone took the time to send in feedback to Microsoft about bringing back support for WMC using the Windows Feedback app in Windows 10 (click start then type feedback , then click on Windows Feedback ) perhaps they'll eventually see how important it is to...

If I upgrade my Windows 7 Media Center to Windows 10, will I still be able to play back PROTECTED CONTENT shows that were previously recorded? When I say upgrade, I mean upgrade from within the Windows 7 install using the free Windows 10 thing, not a clean install.
My Windows install is years old,...

What official codec from Microsoft enables protected wtv filed to be played? I thought that transferring protected files between PC's was a already a grey area.
How many people do not have additional codec installed on a media PC anyway? MS default codecs are not enough for the majority of people....

Hi, was really excited to find I could install media center on w10.
My problem is that I schedule TV shows to record but when my PC goes into sleep mode it won't wake.
I have kept my main PC hooked up to my TV on w7 because of this.
Has anyone else had this problem as I have tried it on 2 other...

From Computer Management, expand System Tools > Local Users and Groups > Groups.
Double-click the Administrator group and click Add. Click Locations and select your computer node.
Now:

A long while back, I of course did the reserve a copy of Win10 thing, because why not, right?
At the beginning of August, I started having a new issue out of the blue, in which my display would go blank after a few seconds of playing anything in WMC. The sound would still be there, but no video,...

Configure WU to ask you to install updates instead of automatically doing it. Then, just individually choose which ones to apply and don't select the Win 10 update. I never signed up on my Win 8.1 WMC PC for the upgrade, but did install the W10 Preview on some other PCs while using the same MSA,...

First post
Windows 10 is just about here—and many users (especially those who have been wrestling with Windows 8) are probably eager to upgrade. But even if you can get it now—the upgrade will be sent first to those who signed up for the Windows Insider beta program and then in “slow waves” to everyone...

is it possible to do free upgrade to windows 10 and have a dual boot for win8/7 and keep both licenses activated?
Nope, performing the upgrade transfers/invalidates the key. All you have is a 1 month period where you can roll back to 7/8 and have it be reactivated with the old key (and then you...

Windows 10 is the official name for Windows 9

Lol, to distance themselves from 8, Microsoft is skipping 9 and going right to Windows 10:
:D

I just wanted to add based on the subject of the thread:
Windows 8.1 was the official name for Windows 9. Looking at the internal version numbers, 8 and 8.1 are different kernel numbers. I'm sure it's known by now that they wouldn't use the name Windows 9 due to confusion with Windows 9x.
