WET610N and streaming Netflix or Windows 7 Media Center

I am trying to find out if I can use the WET610N to stream Netflix, my Windows 7 Media Center and DirecTV VOD to my HDTV.
Also, what is the best way  to configure: 1) use the CD or 2) let the DirecTV HD DVR 
Hardware: Linksys Router, wireless PC with WIndows 7 and Media Center, Panasonic HDTV, DirecTV DVR and I'd like to  get the above mentioned to work.
Thanks. HmS-PA

The best way to configure your WET610N is to connect the WET to the Router and run the setup disk on your computer and configure all the settings on it (SSID, Channel, Security Key).... Once you are done with all these configuration changes, then you need to Unplug the Power and the Ethernet Cable from the Bridge and then, connect the Bridge to your DirecTV HD DVR and then plug the power to the WET...

  • Q190 Windows Media Center Missing

    Hello I just recived my new q190 and it is missing Windows media Center which a sales person on chat told me was included and the photo on the product page shows the device running. I am unable to locate this application or a activation code for it in the packaging
    Also the device came with windows 8 when the "tech specs" page stated it came with windows 7 pro 64, which would have included windows media center.
    This HTPC is useless with out WMC.

    hi EvanB,
    If your model is included in this pdf data sheet then you most likely have a Windows 8 standard machine. In order to get the Windows Media Center, you will need to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro with Media Center. Using a Windows 8 Pro Pack allows you to achieve this. If you specifically ordered a Ideacentre Q190 with WMC via shop.lenovo.com, have you tried giving them your order number to see if the Windows 8 Pro Pack is included in the purchase?
    Alternatively, check XBMC as other users find it as a good alternative to WMC,

  • Can I stream AirTunes to my Airport Express and my windows media center?

    Hello all, I am just about to install a windows media center in my lounge room and I would like to know how I can stream from my office mac to not only my airport express in the dining room, but my new windows box in the lounge.
    I have iTunes installed and a wireless card on the PC and speakers attached, so just wondering how I can stream from the iMac in the office to both devices? Any advice and tips? I love streaming from my iMac to the dining room, just want to be able to get the media center in on the action now
    Surely this is possible?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    To the best of my knowledge, there isn't an easy way to stream iTunes from a Mac to a PC in the manner you desire, with the PC essentially emulating an Airport Express.
    What you want to do is supported by the third party utility Airfoil (see http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/mac/ ) if the sending and receiving computers are both Macs, but I don't think the Windows version of this utility supports this feature.
    I suppose you could use third party software to set up your Mac so that it streams music over your network, in a manner that your PC and (for example) Windows media player could receive - but that is a solution beyond the scope of this discussion forum.

  • WRT610N, WET610N, XBOX, Windows Media Center Setup

    I've searched the heck out of these forums and others.  Most of the posts regarding connection problems between the Xbox and Windows Media Center using the WRT610N are fairly old and seem unresolved.  I fear the people that had the problem have either solved it, and didn't return to post the solution or worse, gave up and returned their router. 
    I have the WRT610N V2 and I'd like to know if I can reliably use it with my xbox before the opportunity to exchange it ends.  I've always been a fan of Linksys.  But I am not inclined to suffer this degraded performance.  Is there a recommended WRT610N setup for reliable performance with the Xbox?
    Yes, this is the second time I've asked the question here.  But I got nothing on my first and suspected the subject didn't draw enough or the right attention.  Please help.  I really don't want to give up on Linksys.

    Follow up to the situation.
    Keep in mind that most of the suggestions regarding the 610n and the Xbox 360 problems are pretty old and I believe related to V1 of the router.  The lack of response I've gotten lead me to believe these suggestions were not applicable to V2.  But rest assured, I'm not imagining this problem.  The connection from the Xbox and WMC is inconsistent at startup, halts occasionally, and hiccups in streaming music pretty regularly.
    I have really only tested in the few hours I have available on weeknights.  I don't have the time to completely rearrange the network configuration every evening to try all of the suggestions I've read.  Especially since I can't change much on the adapter remotely.  I have to pull out my equipment rack, pull the power plug out of the surge protector to bring it into the office where the desktop computer is to reconfigure it.  Because of this, I have been hesitant to make a lot of changes hoping that someone would post the "no shyt solution". 
    What's really got me is that since buying this router just this past weekend (at BestBuy by the way) I've had such varying results with little configuration change.  Sunday I got everything up just fine, but had hiccups in the streaming music.  Monday I had to power down everything to get the xbox to connect to WMC and I switched to static IPs at that time.  Once connected, I had the hiccups in the streaming music using WMC and LastFM.  Then on Tuesday evening, I still had the hiccups.  Then on Wednesday night, everything worked perfectly (both WMC and LastFM).  But I hadn't changed anything since the hiccups on Tuesday night.  I thought maybe the router needed time to settle in?  Yeah, pretty crazy notion given we're talking about networking.  If it's going to work, you'd think it would work right off the bat or not work.  So Thursday night, last night, the hiccups were back (both WMC and LastFM).  And they seemed worse than ever before.
    I would like to note that I have frequently tested the alternative method of streaming music with the xbox that uses the Windows Media Player vice Windows Media Center.  That capability has had no problem at any time.  The WMC is a more pleasant and richer interface but I didn't have a WMC capable computer before.  So in a pinch, I can continue using the WMP interface if I'm entertaining and haven't gotten this WMC thing worked out.  But I had the WMP interface with my old Linksys G equipment.  I just spent a fair dollar to gain N and WMC, I feel I have wasted my money if I have to drop back to the WMP interface.
    Anyway, back to results...  I'm off today and figured I'll try some of the suggestions.  This morning initially, the xbox will connect with WMC, but won't maintain the connection.  This is before I even fire up any music.  So, here I am again scanning the Linksys forum for the suggestions.  I figure I'll try the recommendations that don't require me to pull the WET610N into my office for reconfiguration.  Ok, so a few easy recommendations (mind you, these were all provided for the V1, I haven't read anything particular to the V2), is to change the Beacon Interval to 50, Fragmentation and RTS Thresholds to 2306 and 2307 respectively.  So far, that's all I've done, and of course powered the router and adapter down.
    Everything is working perfectly.  Am I convinced I have a solution?  No.  As I've read and in my own experience, things in this router change day to day.  What works today might not work tomorrow.
    So if there is anyone out there that is familiar with this problem, your insight would be invaluable to me!

  • Premiere Elements cause problems with Windows Media Center while streaming to TV.

    I was having the following problem:
    The audio from the streaming process of a recorded TV show on my HP computer to the remote receivers, a Sony Blu-ray player and/or a Sony Streaming Player, results in the loss of audio signal at exactly 30 seconds from the beginning on either devices. The video continues on as normal.
    A user on the Windows 7 forum had the following possible cause and solution.  His response was as follows:
    I "solved" my issue, at least partially. Turns out for me a codec installed by Adobe Premiere Elements for audio (Main Concept) was causing mfpmp.exe to fail (you should see it getting an appcrash in the event log two or three times as soon as you start playing the media remotely.) This program is used by microsoft for DRM. I went through and one by one remained the various attached (non-microsoft) modules until i found the one that caused the appcrash. I haven't fully figured out if Elements is now negatively effected, but that's for a different forum.
    I tried the quick fix by un-installing Adobe Premiere Elements.  The uninstall solved my problem with Windows Media Center, but I want to re-install the software but I do not want to recreate the problem with Windows Media Center.
    Is there another solution for this problem?

    I reinstalled Adobe Premiere Elements 10 and the above mention problem reoccured.  With a little detective work I was able to determine that the file causing my problem was "mc_dec_dd_ds.ax".  I am not sure what this does to Adobe Premiere Elements 10 since I removed (renamed) the offending file.  A strange side affect, renaming the file did cause an increase volume. Strange.

  • 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.

  • Media manager and windows media center

    How do I set the Fios Media manager to stream content from the Windows media center to the TV?  I was able to set up media manager on a Vista desktop.  Would like to set it up on 64 bit new laptop that can be upgraded to windows 7.  Please provide step by step instructions.

    I do not think you can do this unless you can convert the Windows Media Center recording to a type of file which is supported by Verizon Media Manager.  Media Center files have an extension of  *.dvr-ms.     Verizon Media Manager ONLY supports .avi, .wmv, .flv, 3gp/3g2, .mpg(non-mpeg 2 videos) and .mp4/m4v  files.  I have been meaning to try this as well,  but have not yet. 
    Can anyone recommend a good and free video converter for this?  
    Blame MS for this... that is using a propriety video format...
    Let us know if successful.

  • Windows Media Center, Windows 7 and HP ATSC/Analog TV Tuner

    I can't get windows media center to find signals using my TV tuner anymore. I used to be able to watch TV on my computer using either a digital antenna or analog cable, but now I can't.
    I'm running Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HPdv6 laptop. I upgraded to windows 7 from vista quite awhile ago, but I can't remember if it stopped working after I installed windows 7 or not. I'm not exactly sure what model number my TV tuner is, but it says it is an HP ATSC/Analog TV Tuner in the device manager. It also says it's manufactured by AverMedia, but it doesn't give the product number or model number. Maybe the tuner isn't compatible with windows 7? There is no way I can find out if I don't know the product number...
    I've tried updating the driver for the tuner, but that didn't help. WMC simply can't pick up a signal from the tuner anymore, so all of the channels are fuzzy.
    What else can I do?

    is it still listed in the  device manager?  its ether an avermedia or hauppauge card. just pick a random win 7 driver for the right brand and force it to install. then update the driver with windows update to get the right one.
    Yes, mine is listed in the device manager as HP ATSC/Analog TV Tuner. When I click on its properties, it says it's made by Avermedia. So you're suggesting that I download a random Avermedia driver? I don't understand what that would do... I already tried to update the driver, and it says I have the most recent version. I also checked the HP site to see if they released a different version or something. Nope, same version that I have installed. Still doesn't work.

  • 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.

  • Is there or can Microsoft develop a app for smart TVs so you can stream from Windows Media Center

    I have used Windows Media Center for years to record TV programs and have even sertup my kids Xbox 360 as an extender.  I've recently purchased a smart TV which allows me to steam music and home videoes from Windows media player but ofcourse the .wtv
    files will not play.  Would it be possible to develop an app for Smart TVs and other devices so they can be used as extenders.  I'm sure many people would be willing to pay for the app.  I've tried some 3rd party extenders and not been
    happy with there performance and I'd like to not need another box and remote.  I'm sure these new TVs have the ability to do it will microsoft allow them too? 

    Hi,
    I agree with S.Sengupta.
    You may contact the support of the smart TVs and request a tool to match Windows media player.
    Hope it 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

    I do not think you can do this unless you can convert the Windows Media Center recording to a type of file which is supported by Verizon Media Manager.  Media Center files have an extension of  *.dvr-ms.     Verizon Media Manager ONLY supports .avi, .wmv, .flv, 3gp/3g2, .mpg(non-mpeg 2 videos) and .mp4/m4v  files.  I have been meaning to try this as well,  but have not yet. 
    Can anyone recommend a good and free video converter for this?  
    Blame MS for this... that is using a propriety video format...
    Let us know if successful.

  • No compatability with older printer hardware/software and no windows media center

    What can I say except that Microsoft is the only company that releases an inferior product after years of having a great product. Windows 8.1 and 8 would be fine if it were compatible with old hardware i.e. printers and had Windows Media Center. This is
    now a very bare bones product. I certainly won't be paying the $129 price tag for Windows Pro 8.1 pack, just to get media center - not when there's so many free alternatives around for that. In future, don't purchase a photo quality printer that costs a fortune.
    Buy a nasty cheap one with inexpensive cartridges, as eventually you won't be able to install the older software for your far superior printer i.e. Epson stylus photo 1270.  Sounds like a collusion with both Microsoft and Printer manufacturers to get
    folk purchasing hardware they don't want or need, while they're older hardware works just fine - it's the new operating systems that don't. No thank you.

    Hi,
    Please understand that Microsoft's partners have shared clear concerns over the costs associated with codec licensing for traditional media playback, especially as Windows 8 enables an unprecedented variety of form factors. Windows has addressed these concerns
    in the past by limiting availability of these experiences to specialized “media” or “premium” editions.  
    That's why the Media center is separated for additional cost.
    For the compatibility thing about older device, you can use the compatible mode to install the related driver on Windows 8 and 8.1 to get it work.
