people say that it works if you use shark007's codecs but I haven't tried them myself and would definitely recommend a full system backup before installing them
I have tried the same thing in the past but I was never completely susccessful. As a matter of fact I took all of the registry entries I could find that were related to my tuners from a win 7 machine, and transplanted them to a Win 10 machine. Are you able to view cable channels? The HDHomerun WMC Service is used to constantly point WMC to the IP address of the tuners. I installed that using installutil. Is this on Win 10 1511 or a newer build? Thanks.
Hi I recently upgraded to 1903 from 1809 and before doing so I uninstalled wmc and reinstalled it afterwards. I use it only as a tv tuner. It scans for channels and it finishes the scan without errors BUT when I start "live tv" it closes and restarts. I run it as admin. Any ideas???
I'm coming from win 7 finally. Installed win 10 1909 and used the install and dll replacement from TECHNODEVOTEE. Huge thanks! But my question is, are we disabling Windows update?
Hi I have just upgraded from win 7 32 bit but the installer does not work for me on v13. The cmd just says prepare... I am I missing something?
Where did you save the contents of the zip file? It need to be on a local drive in a short path with no spaces. It does check all these things but I may have missed something. I would recommend trying it from somewhere like c:\temp.
I have a pretty simple setup. I am only doing OTA with a win TV Quad tuner. Windows Updates are disabled for now.
me too. Problems usually occur on windows update tuesday, either pause windows update the day before and check here to see if there are any problems and wait for a fix. Or be prepaired to fix the problems after windows updates and maybe MCE might not work. It is normally an easy fix by running technodevotee's patch tool
Hi, thank you but that did not make any difference. Checked everything, unlocked etc I think it is a pc issue as the audio driver would not unstall after upgrade without windows crashing. I have gone back to win 7 via image. I will remove driver and try again. Cheers
@craig59, not had a lot of luck with Windows upgrades myself - always seems to be something that doesn't work properly.
HDHomerun tuners not seen by WMC on Windows 10. I used technodevotee's download to finally get WMC installed- but when setting up TV signal, HDHomerun's tuners are not found (tuners work fine when using the HDHomerun app). I found a workaround of setting computer to go to SLEEP after 1 minute, restart computer, and try to again to install TV Signal in WMC. Unfortunately this workaround did not work for me. Anybody out there who uses Silcondust's HDHomerun tuners that can help?Thanks in advance
The fix I discovered is Change the Windows Media Center Receiver Service from a specific account name to a Local System account: Click Start , and type Administrative tools in the Search box. Click Administrative tools in the search results. Double-click Services. Scroll down the Services list and find Windows Media Center Receiver Service. Right-click Windows Media Center Receiver Service, and then click Properties. Click the Log On tab, and then select Local System account. Click Apply, and then click OK on the Services message. Restart the computer.
Kudos to this group and all of the various developers!!! This weekend I fresh-installed Windows 10, 1903 knowing I'd lose my WMC I so thoroughly rely on in Win7. I found this group and read up a bit and installed the 8.8.4 installer and it works like a charm!!! Moving forward, is this WMC v. Windows Updates simply a game of cat and mouse? Are regular reinstalls of WMC something I should get used to? Thanks again everyone.
First, thanks so much to Aly for a prompt reply. And second, thanks for such detailed instructions. Unfortunately, this plan did not work. Today, I partitioned a hard drive on another computer, installed Windows 10 Build 18363, installed HDHomerun software, and went through the WMC setup process. This time I added a HDHomerun Digital Antenna box. HDHomerun found this box as well as my 2 Prime (with cable cards) and setup channels. When doing the WMC setup, it discovered the Digital Antenna- but, again, not the 2 cable card boxes. So, back to same issue. If someone is successfully running WMC on Windows 10 with HDHomerun Prime boxes (cable card), then I guess the problem can be solved somehow! Please reply- and let me know the trick. Otherwise, maybe I will search for an ISO of build 1507 or 1511, which I understand may work
