WMC 8.1 media center Live TV Copy Protection issue
Posted: Sun Jun 30, 2019 5:39 pm
I have two Intel NUC Kit NUC6i5SYH. 8GB RAM I5 and ssd.
Identical units
Two HDhomerun prime Motorola cablecards Mediacom cable provider. Firmware up to date.
Unit 1 been running win 7 ultimate for 2 ½ years WMC can watch all copy protected channels I subscribe to.
Unit 2 has been freshly formatted with clean install of windows 8.1 Pro from MS. Twice formatted and started over. Using my legit Action Pack key for W8.1. I had many of the free upgrade MC keys for W8.1. Of course those don’t work.
Installed WMC-V13_x64 On one of the attempts DCA worked and on the other had to do override command. In both cases can watch PBS, golf channel but not Fox sports Midwest. Get the Copy Protection error. On the first build did every kind of DRM reset I could find. Formatted the HD and started over. I guess it has to be W8.1 or the build of WMC I downloaded? I have burnt a whole weekend Been using WMC since XP.
Behavior of HD homerun setup app and settings the same on both units.
I was thinking that going to W8.1 with support until 2023 is not a totally bad idea. Of course I’m getting my rear handed to me. I would probably give $200 for a legitimate key for WMC 8.1 and call it a day.
I need to go on a 12 step program but want to watch and record the St. Louis Cardinals on Fox Midwest Sports. Channel 832 on our Mediacom. Not ready fot TIVO or Recorder from Mediacom just yet. I watch and record other HD cannels as well.
Is there another build I should try? Any suggestions?
Because using the WMC-V13_x64 put in Windows 10 group. If this needs to be in the 8.1 WMC group please move to.
