Media Center will look for additional channels that might be available for your TV tuner. Media Center will scan each channel individually and display its signal strength. On the Adjust Digital TV Antenna and Choose Channels screen, you can clear the check box next to channels with little or no signal so they won't show up in the Guide.
Note: When Media Center appears finished scanning for more channels, it might still be working in the background. If you didn't see the channels you were expecting during this scan, it's best to wait about 15 minutes before trying the scan again. Many cable or satellite subscribers have a cable box sometimes referred to as a set-top box or satellite receiver.
Cable boxes and satellite receivers can include channels that are either standard or high definition. In Media Center, a digital high-definition signal that is transmitted through one of these boxes will be converted to an analog standard-definition signal. Connect the cable from the cable source wall jack to the cable input jack on the cable box or satellite receiver.
If you have two cable boxes or two satellite receivers that you want to use with Media Center, you can use a splitter to divide the TV signal from the wall jack to the boxes. Each cable box or satellite receiver must have a TV signal connected to the cable input jack. Connect an IR blaster to your computer and your set-top box. For more information, see the documentation that came with your IR blaster.
Follow the steps to connect a TV signal, depending on the type of tuner or tuners that the cable is connected to, as well as the type of programming to which you subscribe. If you have a digital cable service from your local cable provider, and you own a specially certified PC known as a Digital Cable Ready computer, you may be able to watch and record digital cable TV in Media Center.
To do this you'll need a couple things: a digital cable tuner , which is a device that comes with most Digital Cable Ready computers, and a CableCARD , which is a device that must be inserted into your digital cable tuner to allow it to receive digital cable.
A CableCARD serves as a replacement for a digital set-top box, and can only be obtained from a participating digital cable provider. With the proper CableCARD inserted into a compatible digital cable tuner, you can watch digital cable channels both standard and high definition that are available by subscription from your cable provider.
It's recommended that you work with a cable technician from your service provider to set up a digital cable tuner and signal. Many of the steps below should be performed by them. If you have a Digital Cable Ready computer, follow the instructions from your computer manufacturer to set up your digital cable tuner.
You'll need these numbers for the activation process in step 7. This step is usually performed by a technician from your digital cable provider. Connect the cable from the cable source wall jack to the TV-IN jack on the digital cable tuner. Contact your service provider to pair your CableCARD with the digital cable tuner—this will activate both so you can receive digital cable content.

Did try a restart just to see if that would work but no go. Does this work with the latest Windows 10 build ? I just tried it and after install, clicking on the icon nothing happens. Hi i installed on win 10 but I plugged the cable tv and get an error saying All tv tuners are currently in use. To change the channel, seletc the program…. Anybody else experiencing this phenomena? Windows 10 vers. All functionality of WMC will be intact … I have tested it on Windows 10 Version and even on the latest Windows Insider build and it works absolutely fine.
It runs beautifully on my install but unfortunately it crashes catastrophically when clicking the exit button after playing a recorded TV program. Uninstalled and re-installed and the crash still occurs. It must have been some momentary interference on my antenna.
Are my codecs out of wack? Hi Matt, thanks a lot for the update. I have updated the download link to direct it to the latest version which is 8.
I can confirm that the WMC 8. Kodi is a fantastic product but none of the alternatives do the tv functionality including configuration in such an integrated way. For Kodi you need to install a back end tv server. Media Portal is probably one of the best alternatives for tv functionality.
I had a HTPC built in early This is mainly used for watching TV and recording TV. We do sometimes stream music from it, but use VLC media player for that. How can Microsoft justify taking my money then 4 years later render the product unusable? I was advised to install something called Kodi. Good morning I installed the program windos media center but the moment to see the tv you can see the screen of the channel with the time but the transmission does not start, for a while turn the cursor and then close everything from what can depend?
