Internet TV in Windows Media Center

Hi there,
I have been trying to set up Internet TV in Windows Media Center but to no avail. I followed all the instructions given by Microsoft but I still cannot get the Guide to show up. I even tried setting up Internet TV in the WMC gadget but it is greyed out. Can anyone offer any advice that hasn't been offered by Microsoft that will help? Thanks in advance. I have a W700 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64.

From what I can figure out, Canadians are not allowed to use internet TV. I would love a solutiuon.

  • Problem connect mac to internet with pc w/windows media center os

    I share a wireless DSL connection with my roommate. Everything was working fine for a long time until she bought a Sony PC with Windows Media Center OS on it. Every time she connects to the internet, she doesn't think it works very well for her. But, if she leaves the house (and therefore is not using her computer online) I can reset the DSL modem and the wireless router and then my internet connection from my iBook works like a lovely breeze. Then she comes home, connects her computer and the internet doesn't work for either of us. She insists it is not "her computer" and doesn't believe that I could be receiving such a seamless connection when she's not around. Does anyone know (1) if there are issues with Windows Media Center OS that would cause this problem and (2) What I can do to fix the situation?

    Actually, it sounds like her computer might have a Static IP set, which tries to grab your IP... you might cure it by changing your setup to "Using DHCP with Manual Address" and using a couple numbers higher than what it says when it does work.

    Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner.   You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
    QAM tuners to record local channels only
    This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
    SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
    CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
    This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
    ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
    Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
    Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed.   That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

  • Actiontech router and Windows Media Center on Win8

    While waiting for Verizon to solve their network problems and actually get light to the ONT, they left the actiontech router in my house, so I took sometime to get to know it. 
    It's definitelly something I don't want or need in my network. It's not a bad router if you didn't have a business class product from before (actually it is pretty much the best you can get short of going to hardware firewall routers in the class of Zyxel, Watchguard and some high end, business class, Dells, Ciscos and Netgears).
    Well... needless to say, I am running such a router (a Watchguard XTM-26W) and have security subscriptions with them to protect my network. In addition, it offers functionality and discrete access controls otherwise impossible with consumer grade products.
    Now, back to the basic subject: I noticed something ominous and wonder if anyone else has noticed it too. I run my TV service through a machine that uses a Ceton 4-HD PCI-E tuner card with a multistream cablecard. It is installed on top of Windows 8 Pro, 64 bit and I use Windows Media Center as my core TV interface (guide and all). The machine is set to go to sleep by itself if no activity (and TV it's the only thing designed and intended to do and the only thong it does) is detected on the tuner for 5 minutes. This works flawlesly  and always did while on Comcast service.
    Now, the problem: you put the Actiontech router in the network (regardless of whether it's before or after the firewall gateway) and the machine fails to go to sleep. The router introduces some dort of chatter in the networkk that keeps the HDD active and the computer alive in perpetuity. Did anyone notice anything similar? What is your experience with this?
    Obviously, I have no intent to keep the Actiontech router in the network under such conditions. For what I know, it is illegal in fact to put out products that send unsolicited traffic through one's network. Not to mention that it is a security risk. Might Verizon re-consider their insistence on deciding what routers to support and what don't or simply drop all support for all the routers since none is ever really needed? They only have the job to deliver a public IP to my equipment and I should be left alone otherwise (according to FCC). Which they otherwise fail to do by putting a piece of equipment that is theirs in the way and mandating that I use it, since 192.168.x.x is NOT a public IP, according to Internet Council.

    Actiontec responded to my inquiry. See below.
    It turns out it's another Verizon problem...
    "Honestly no idea what would cause the chatter on the network to prevent sleep\stand-by to function.
    Verizon would have to review the issue and see what in the code programming would cause this."
    Stop the chatter. Put your Media Center hardware behind another firewall. Like I said mine is Linux IP-COP, which constanty drops these trash packets from the single STB I have on the MOCA COAX.
    All from the Verizon network router. Almost like a broadcast storm!
    This is a Motorola STB, My Cisco had two real IP addresses asigned by DHCP, and they did not do this. I turned in all my STB hardware and ordered a single STB, and was sent Motorola when I had been using Cisco.
    wan-1 in into my Linux box and lan-1 is out of it. Then all my harware which includes Media Center PCs are gigabit switches, not exposed to this. I guess you could use another router and not a Linux PC. This STB is going back soon.

  • Using the Apple Remote with Windows Media Center

    Hello guys
    First of all, I am Swiss, so excuse me for my bad English (grammar and stuff...)
    So, my problem: I bought the Apple Remote and I think it is very awsome! But since Apple has removed Front Row in Lion, I don't really can use it anymore. So I'd tried to use it with Windows 7 Media Center. But it doesn't work correctly. Does anyone know, how to fix that?
    Thank you

    I had a Green Button remote provided with HP PC XP, Vista for Windows Media Center prior to getting Mac Pro.
    Now in Lion, I have Hauppauge WinTV HVR-980 USB adapter (less than $100) including a remote that works in Lion for the Hauppauge TV app.
    In Windows, the same remote works with all "Media Center" processes Music, Pictures, TV... instead of mouse/keyboard. If your TV service requires set top box, then you have to use its remote to change channels.
    If ISP's internet Co-Ax also carries TV signal, you can get Cable Splitter (smple picture):
    http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2-Way-TV-RF-Coaxial-Cable-Splitter-CATV-Signal-/320868649 227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ab543090b  
    and feed 1 co-ax to USB TV adapter, the other to your Modem/Router.
    The Hauppage USB was a good choice because it serves Mac & Windows.
    Also, In Windows, if you have an XBox, it can be used as "Extender" for your A/V output.

  • Windows Media Center

    I have a Pavilion p6724y PC with Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit Service Pack 1 and I'm trying to view tv on my pc. The product code is QP720AA#ABA. When I go to the tv options internet tv is not listed. What do I need to watch tv on my pc????

    Hi btunis,
    I looked up the specs for your computer model and I don't see a TV tuner listed. Do you have one installed? Typically you'd need to hook up your computer TV tuner to either an antenna, cable or satellite/set top box in order to watch TV with Windows Media Center.
    If you don't have a tuner and don't want to purchase one, you might still be able to watch some on-demand programming (not live TV) through Windows Media Center, depending on the region where you live. Check out this article from How-To Geek for information about setting up that functionality: Watch TV Programming Without a TV Tuner in Windows 7 Media Center. According to Microsoft this function is not available in all regions, probably due to licensing considerations.
    You mentioned you're not seeing the Internet TV option -- if you live in the US it should be available for you, so make sure you have installed the latest updates for Windows Media Center.
    I hope this helps!

  • 'Windows Media Center Receiver Service' stops and cannot be restarted

    Hi,
    I have had some issues with running my Hauppage TV Tuners (WinTV-HVR-2200) on a new Windows 7 Home Premium Installation.
    After installing the TV Tuner card, drivers and WMC support software - I am able to configure my TV channels through Windows Media Centre and all is working fine. I can watch and record TV, so it all seems to be OK. It is only AFTER I restart my computer
    that I get an error 'Viewing/Listening Device is currently not available' when trying to watch TV in WMC again.
    I troubleshooted this issue and found that 'Windows Media Centre Receiver Service' was not running and when I tried to restart the service (via services.msc) it comes up with the following error:
    "0x80070003: File path not found"
    I have checked the Windows directory for ehrecvr.exe (the file that the service is linked to) and it is not corrupted or moved but I cannot re-link or restart the service.
    I tried the following tasks to remedy the issue and none of them were successful:
    Run SFC from cmd prompt - no issues were found
    Changed the 'logon' details for the service from Network to Local
    Changed the start type of the service from manual to automatic
    Restored previous versions of windows - prior to windows updates
    Re-install TV Tuner drivers and software
    Updated to the latest drivers and software version of 'WinTV' (Hauppage TV Tuner Software)
    Complete new installation of windows, including a format of the HDD - without installing additional third party software or anit-virus software
    Re-seat the TV tuner in a new PCI slot
    The only way that I am able to remedy the issue is if I disable and then re-enable WMC via 'optionalfeatures'. This then allows the service to start again, I can then configure my TV tuner in WMC but it still has issues after restarting the PC!
    It would appear that by configuring the TV tuners in WMC, it causes a conflict in the service so that it cannot be restarted after it is stopped. Note: I can start/stop the service with the TV tuner cards installed on my PC - it is only when I configure
    the TV channels in WMC that it then has issues.
    I have had these TV tuners running without any issues for over 2 years; however I have upgraded the motherboard and CPU and this issue has only just started happening. I am at a loss of what to look at next...
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    Thanks

    I shall suggest you :
    1. uninstall WinTV software and reinstall WMC from the scratch.
    2. Disable AV or any other internet security application during configuring WMC.
    3. Update the TV Tuner card driver from Hauppage's website (only WMC driver and no other application)
    Run Setup Again.
    Open WMC > Tasks > Settings > General > Windows Media Center Setup > Run Setup Again
    Does it help?
    If the above doesn't help then try resetting WMC:-
    Open Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > Turn Windows Features on or off > Scroll down to Media Features > Uncheck the box against Windows Media Center > Follow on screen instructions > Reboot > Again open Turn Windows Features on
    or off under Control Panel > Scroll down to Media Features > Check the box against Windows Media Center.
    Now reconfigure WMC again

  • Windows media center on the xbox with wrt110

    I have my network set up, and it works really well. My only complaint is that I can not get a conection between my PC & xbox 360 so I can use windows media center. I can connect to the internet with the 360, but I can not get a connetion to my pc.
    I am using a Wirless-G PCI Adapter with SpeedBooster & 2.4GHz 802.11g. Windows Vista,  & WRT110.
    How can I get this to work????????

    To use Windows Media Center with your Xbox 360 console, you must have a PC running Windows Media Center. You have a compatible Windows Media Center PC if you have:
    Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005
    Windows Vista Home Premium
    Windows Vista Ultimate
    Note : Windows Media Center is not included with Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Home Basic, or Windows Vista Business.
    To set up Windows Media Center on your console:
       1. On your Windows Media Center PC, go to www.xbox.com/pcsetup to make sure your software is up-to-date.
       2. In the Xbox Dashboard, go to My Xbox and open Windows Media Center.
       3. Follow the instructions on the screen to finish Windows Media Center setup.

  • Recovering Downloads not in Windows Media Center

    I download an item and when I try to open it, it goes to Windows Media Center and I can not find it their or any other downloads I have.

    How can I open my downloads without Windows Media Center?
    Thanks for your help

    Hi Leon,
    If you are using Internet Explorer, when you click to download a file, choose Save when the download window appears.  This will then open another window showing you where the file is going to be saved.  If you are happy with this, click Ok.  When the download has finished, click Open Folder to go straight to where your file is.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem streaming from Windows Media Center to XBOX 360 with Airports?

    Good evening,
    I have been having an issue trying to stream windows media center from my windows 7 ultimate (64 bit if that helps) to my Xbox 360. My network setup is:
    I have an airport extreme (G) that is plugged into my cable modem and my windows 7 machine. In my living room I have an airport express that extends my wireless signal through out the house but my xbox 360 is plugged into it via ethernet. I have a very fast internet connection that is stable but any transfer between my computer and xbox is very limited it seems. I was wonder if there is a way to get this to work better. When I lunch windows media center on the xbox it sees my pc and it shows the available files but when I try and move from one to the other nothing happens and eventually I get a can't connect error. Would I be better off not connecting via ethernet to the airport express and just buying a wireless adapter?
    Thanks

    You don't say how your devices are connected, whether through your Verizon router or some other way.  If through, say, an Actiontec then you may be having bottleneck issues.  I used to run all my devices through my Actiontec and got poor transfer speeds (it only handles 10/100).  Moving everything on my network to a 10/100/1000 switch helped my transfer speeds to shoot right up ten fold.  This way only the switch gets connected to my Actiontec and my network devices can still get out on the 'net if needed.
    It's ok to try to reinvent the wheel, but just make sure it's round.

  • Windows Media Center TV Guide DATA servers at AKAMAI and MS are broken

    For the love of ...   can someone in here with actual direct contact to NETWORK Engineers @Microsoft, let them know that  Windows Media Center is broken. in both my 3 year old working SSD  drive with W7 Home Premium  which has been working
    up to a month ago or so,  and the FRESH install on a new drive with ALL the updates, except those that failed, are both not getting TV Guide data , so recording can not be scheduled
    I have been told by folks at Silicodust.com  and at AVSforum and  TheGreen Button forums , it has to do with regional DNS servers pointing to the wrong or broken AKAMAI  servers , but even when given  direct  server name and IP addresses
    and added those the the HOSTS   file  and then flushed the DNS settings withing Windows 7 ,  the error messages go away and you can see SOME  files get downloaded but the DATA always fails
    the paranoid little person in me keep telling me, maybe MS is giving up on WMC   or they are doing it to force us to upgrade to 9.   sure wish things would get fixed  either way or just start charging us for WMC  separetely  for
    it, so we can rely on tv guide data
    thanks  

    You need a tv tuner card to watch movies, I use my cogeco hdtv as a tv tuner card, that works well with MC.
    Microsoft dropped internet TV in sept 2012. Who cares about internet TV HDTV is much better for movies.

  • ITunes won't open after using Windows Media Center

    Today I used Windows Media Center so I could play my music and videos through my X-Box. Now when I try to open iTunes it comes up with the message "The folder itunes is on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this folder". Nothing has been changed, I did not lock anything, and now the folder automatically reverts itself to Read-Only. Please help

    I also tried un and re-installing itunes but it did nothing

  • How can I convert the metadata tags on my mp4s to xml files so that they can be read in Windows Media Center?

    I have a library with almost 3000 movies and TV shows that I have fully tagged. However, I have decided to start using Windows Media Center and it does its metadata tagging through XML files.  I wanted to know if anyone could tell me if there was a way to extract the metadata from those mp4s and convert them to a format that WMC could read?  Thanks!!!!

    iTunes can make XML playlists so it might be all you need, I made a simple one file playlist and exported it from iTunes. The result is shown below. In principle I could delete the playlist and the entry from the library, as long as I don't delete the file, then later reimport the XML playlist file. I haven't tested this particular scenario, but I assume that iTunes will read all the properties as listed unless it can read some kind of tag from the file itself in which case the current value of the tag would take precedence.
    What I don't know is what media center would make of this file, or what its files look like, however assuming they have a similar structure that can be decoded then it should be possible to read data from the iTunes library and write out a text file that will make sense to media centre.
