FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted July 3, 2009 I am using Windows 7 RC as my primary operating system right now, and my dad just pre-ordered the Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade because Vista is too malfunctiony to work. I am having an issue with the Media Center in Windows 7, particularly the TV guide.In Windows Vista the TV guide works fine and periodically downloads data every 3 days or so. In Windows 7, data hasn't been downloaded for over a month. All my channels say "No data available". Without the TV guide, Media Center won't record anything because it doesn't know when the shows are on. I am in Canada, using Shaw Cable as my TV provider with analog TV (if that helps).Is there a file I can delete to reset the TV guide function or what can I do?

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted July 4, 2009 You can manually download the Guide in the Settings section under Tasks. Under TV, press Get Latest Guide Listings. If that doesn't do it, reset up your guide, the system will overwrite the old guide data.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 first of all, just re-try, it could be a hang-up problem with no retry-after-timeout in the setup script.Secondly, could it be a firewall settings joke ? Just try shutting down the firewall during re-install (I guess stopping the firewall is not so easy with Windows7). And it could be a funny behavior of your anti-virus too...

FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted July 5, 2009 I have tried several times now with no luck. I have disabled Windows Firewall and AVG Anti-Virus, it did not make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akashi 0 Report post Posted July 6, 2009 Never used windows 7 before, so I think I can't help you lot. But, are you using proxy? Have you checked your connection? I mean, are you able to connect to TV guide provider (try pinging it)? Have you checked the regional setting in control panel and in MP configuration. You might also checked your time and date setting etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akashi 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2009 Did you checked the network connection setting in Winblows Media Center and Internet Explorer? Try to check them, maybe that's the cause..

FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2009 Internet Explorer works fine, and the TV guide provider loads fine as well when accessed within a browser.I have tried disabling the proxy and using it and it makes no difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skedad 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2009 So I am planning on finding something for my daughter's used PC... I don't know if I will be able to do anything with Windows 7, but maybe I will have to give it a try. And with that maybe even try the Media Center... unless it is having a lot of those issues.

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I'm running window 7 ultimate. I have several iso trainning videos that I watch in media player 12 using daemon. For some reason when you get towards the end of a chapter it stops playing and you get an error. I tried burning to a DVD but it still does the same. It does not do this in Real Player nor does it stop in Windows media player 11. In short, the error states a corrupt library of which I deleted but when compiling again, results are the same. I tried repairing from DVD win7 OS but it does not seem to find the problem. Short of reinstalling the entire OS, I have exhausted a search on helps. MS does not have a download for WMP12 nor can I delete it. Only posible solution apart from reinstalling the os is to delete every file and folder associated with WMP12 as well as in the registry and let the repair hopefully do its thing. Any suggetions would greatly be appreciated.-question by butchmach Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
