Flipping channels - no numbers

#1

Post by imrockin » Fri Jun 12, 2020 9:06 pm

Hello,

I'm running Windows 7 WMC

Just changed service providers from Xfinity (Comcast) to FIOS. Went through cable card setup process with WMC and Ceton 6 tuner card, then updated my EPG123 guide. The guide looks great, but while flipping through the channels, the channel numbers do not appear. It shows the name of the show I'm watching but not the channels. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Hmm, I remembered someone having this same issue and I found this, but no solution.

Did you use the EPG123 Tweak tool at all? I'm thinking that maybe some setting in there made something too big so it just doesn't display it since it doesn't fit. But I really don't know. Perhaps set all settings to default in the Tweak tool to see if that fixes it.

What disappears when using the Tweak WMC, if a user selects to center the channel logos, and the channel column width is set to default 0 (240 pixels), then the logos will disappear. I've never seen the channel numbers disappear when surfing.

The issue linked is exactly the same. I didn't think of resizing the WMC screen, but sure enough, if I un-maximize it, the numbers are present. I did a reset using the Tweak tool, but that didn't help. Is this a function of WMC or the actual program guide?

WMC. I have no control of that and dont touch anything for that with the Tweak tool.

You can also see people having this problem here:

Have you made any registry changes?
