    Still problems with Windows 10 WMC,

    What i have done:
    1 - Clean install Windows 10 x64.
    2 - Installed DVDplayer windows10.0-kb3081704-x64.
    3 - Installed WindowsMediaCenter_6.3.9600.16384_x64_v8
    4 - Installed Shark007 Advanced v5.5.1
    5 - Install anyseeDriver_Setup_CNO_20100426 for 2x Anysee E30TC Plus

    Everthing works, only when i select a Ziggo HD tv channel instead of a ordinary Ziggo tv channel
    the sounds goes in a loop and after that i have a decoder fault.
    My system: Intel i3-540, 4gb memory, Gigabyte GA-H55N-USB3 and a 240gb SSD

    With win 7 and Win 8.1 everything works smooth, no problems.

    Question for dejong12 and dbDesign, can you both confirm you received Ziggo HD tv channels?

    Don't think the "Low Signal" issue is progress. I had the same exact problem, it's due to the Windows DVD player that you installed.

    If you remove the Win DVD player and just install WMC (v6+) you will get the error your looking for. The magic trick here, is to get all the files from 8.1 that is NEEDED to run WMC with out any 3rd party codecs, then we will be on the right path...

    I think that the last part is already accomplished using the media feature pack from win 8.1 N Version like Klownicle already did.

    Then is possible that we have to dig even deeper, to the media foundation level as Abbodi suggested but at that point, I'm afraid that, as we say here, "the sauce isn't worth the fish".

    Anyway a try w/o the dvdplayer installed is surely a test that should be done.

    Hello,

    I have WMC working in W10, except for the guide information does not download. I have one machine (on 8.1) that is my main WMC machine (I won't be updating this PC) that is working fine. The W10 machine is for other purposes and occasional TV use. Is there a work around for getting the guide data to work?

    Yes.

    Read the readme. (add the network service to the administrators group, and redo the configuration)

    The CNO-Tool for Anysee is not working anymore after the changes of the Ziggo network.
    With this tool you cannot scan the network with the build in "NIT-Scan" because of network frequency changes that are not inside the tool (Anysee is dead for 3 years already and there is no update of the driver sins)
    Maybe you can try with MediaPortal, but I do not know if this works.

    With the Digital Devices tuners everything is working, also the HD channels.

    I'm not agree with you, even with this older version of Anysee during scanning it find 382 channels. And the not HD channels i can watch. The only problem are the HD channels, but with the driver of dejong12 i hope this problem is over.

    I do not know your software config (you've not told us) but in MediaCenter it is almost impossible to scan through the NIT scan of the Anysee CNO Tool to generate the needed .TPL file.
    Maybe you have a setup with DVBLink, I do not know but more than 75% off all people that uses Anysee in that time could not scan there channels anymore……..

    The CNO still works and finds all transport streams for NIT 5555. What's your area? Make sure you are using "5555(Ziggo_Digitale_Televisie04)" when searching for transport streams.
    The only 'problem' (but not really a problem) is that WMC places all HD channels at the back.

    Do you also have the problem with the HD channels that are FTA/C (NPO)?

    When I did, "Windows 10 Physical with Version 8 WMC, with MediaFoundation Copied & Policy Editor Modifications (can these be perm?)." I got the "Weak Signal" issue, but I wasn't 100% sure if it was related to the fact that the CableCard wouldn't activate. I've never received the system files modified message without a codec activated. The first error I get without a codec is the decoder error/missing/etc. (the longer one), not the one related to protected content where you full screen it and it plays (or minimize from full screen).

    Problem I found is, how do I keep the codec registry files without keeping software protection turned off with the Product Policy Editor?

    1. Move ProductPolicyEditor executable in root directory like C:\
    2. Launch it
    3. Click Reboot with SetupType=1
    4. After restart in command line prompt in setup mode, you won't have mouse cursor, so use the keyboard for next steps or launch explorer.exe manually (mouse cursor will appear in screen areas where the windows are displayed).
    5. Type C:\ProductPolicyEditor.exe
    6. Click Disable sppsvc
    7. Select the row you want and modify the way you want
    8. Click Modify registry
    9. Close the program and quit command line prompt; the computer should restart in normal mode

    SPP service should be disabled keeping the values you changed. This worked fine when I tried to change some values to run Media Center.

    This for me worked fine on WHS but not on W10. I think that on W10 the clipservice must be shut down as well (anyway, I's just a guess, I haven't tested it yet)

    He means the ~30 channels (+ 3 HD channels (NPO 1, 2 and 3)) that everyone can receive without needing a smartcard.

    Did you restart Windows? Sometimes WMC doesn't recognize the tuner after you install a tuner when WMC already exists or has been resetted.
