WMC lost its configuration

#1

Yesterday when I opened WMC to watch TV, I only had the option to watch Recorded TV or to setup live TV. Not sure how that happened, but when I try set it up again, it always fails.

I am running Windows 8.1 with a Ceton InfiniTV4. During setup, I am using 00000 as my zip code. I decline the programming guide terms. Then it tries to download TV setup data. That step fails and a pop-up says that it will use existing setup data if available. Then I continue through setup as usual, but every time I get 'TV Setup Cannot Continue. TV setup has encountered a serious problem...'.

I've tried restarting. I disabled and re-enabled WMC. Still no luck. Any help would be very much appreciated!

I've also opened the Ceton diagnostic utility and get checkmarks across the board. I'm also able to tune to a channel using the diagnostic app. So, I don't think there's an issue with my tuner.

I was able to get back up and running.

I followed the instructions here
