Media Centre Broken???

right am having trouble watching TV on the Media Centre, i have Vista Ultimate 64bit it was fine then when i tried changing the channel i got some error message (cant remember what it was) and it had to close. when i reopened it i found that that i cant wait many of the channels as i get the "No TV Signal" error message - but everything is plugged in fine - the only way i can watch a few of the channels is if i select the channel i want to watch, close down media centre and reopen it - but this only works for a couple of channels and none that i like to watch

any idea how to fix this?

 

Try the following:

what will this do?

 

I guess you can verify this way if something got corrupted in your channel list..or at least I thought so when I first read it.

 

im going to try and redo the channels first - if that doesnt work then ill have to look into other ways of fixing it

 

what ever it was resetting up the channels fixed it, still have no idea what coursed it though

 

You mean it's working now? And you did nothing?

 

all i did was go into the setting and re-setup the channels - still not sure what happened though?

 

No idea...I read somewhere that you can get the "No Signal" error when the signal is "weak"..

 

nope thats a doupt as its been perfect for over a month, it has to be something to do with the error that i got but i know what it said, should have read it

 

Yeah you might still have the report in the Event Viewer->Application

 

i wasnt sure what i was mean to be looking for but i got this error code a couple of times 0x80000000000000

 

It should look like this:

but instead of iexplore.exe(since when IE executable is iexplore.exe?) it should be the..media center exe.

 

right here are the errors i have, not sure which one it is:

Check TheGreenButton Forums for Media Center troubleshooting.
