So much for disabling the Windows update service
My PC updated even though I had the windows update service set to disabled. I was able to revert back and WMC is still installed. But I get the dreaded "no tuners found" on my HDHomeRun Prime. I tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling a known good driver hdhomerun_windows_20150826.exe and no help. I really don't want to rebuild my PC again! Any one have any idea on how to get my tuners back?

I've set up a Windows 7 VM on VMWare Workstation Player 12 and when trying to set up the TV signal is says that my computer is not digital cable ready and I can't use a cable card tuner. The good news is that it does in fact see the tuners! Anyone know how to make a VM digital cable ready? I've already installed playready and the digital cable advisor.

Download and run this tool here: https://www.missingremote.com/guide/201 ... a-center-7
It will force the DCA to "pass"

I experienced something today related to the Update Service. I think the box was 2015 LTSB "N" ..... Might have been Pro "N" ... Its busy updating right now.
So, anyway, the tuner was working, the guide was not populated. I decided to try and make the guide work last night. WMC continually gave me the NO INTERNET error. Checked the browser, ran the WMC internet crap. I have internet. Decided to uninstall the newer DCA and install the older DCA. Everything looks good except for no guide. I go to Update PlayReady. PlayReady says NO INTERNET. Guide and PlayReady both...NO INTERNET.
So I go into Services and enable the Update Service. Back to WMC PlayReady, and bingo....PlayReady completes it's mission, gives me the little Update System Settings screen. Go back to EPG and the guide populates.
This is the point where I should have disabled Update Service again, because, today, that one is on its way to somewhere.
Bummer
Edit: Amazing....WMC still works
Quick Quick DISABLE UPDATE .... Done, we'll see how this one plays out.

Crash, do you have the firewall enabled ? And did you let WMC pass through ?
I've seen the same issue when the DAM firewall service is enabled and you didn't allow it through it.

I I did not touch the firewall at all actually I didn't even think of it. The reinstall of DCA and play Ready into windows might have open the firewall during the install. There has been a few people with the same complaint lately. No internet in WMC.DavidinCT wrote:Crash, do you have the firewall enabled ? And did you let WMC pass through ?

Did you have a look at Sammy's play Ready extender problem

Quick Quick DISABLE UPDATE!!! Ha! I had the windows update service disabled and I still got updated. I've given up on WMC and am now trying out the Silicon Dust DVR.
