 - Media Center >> Sky digital STB to MCEI may be jumping the gun on my MCE PC arriving tomorrow. Packard Bell
 iXtreme 6142.
 
 I have been reading the advice about the TV set-up which seems to say as I
 have an STB I should definately choose to use it in the set-up (or I won't
 get a second chance!).
 I don't have the necessary SCART to S-video adaptor yet to go from the STB
 to the PC. I would like to know if, as I won't be able to configure the
 input yet, will that prevent me configuring the rest of the MCE setup?
 
 Thanks

 - Media Center >> DVDs copied to HDHi,
 
 One more question, with my DVD collection ripped to my hard drive using DVD
 Shrink, should it matter whether i rip at 55% compression which is it's
 default compression setting or should it be set to NO Compression. Viewing
 is via DVI to a 65 inch HDTV monitor.
 
 So will No compression (Just discovered this option) provide better viewing
 results?
 
 TIA

 Sadly, no. If the guide doesn't have that episode's later showings
 marked
 as a repeat, then MCE has no other way to tell its not first run.

 - Media Center >> open a file that is.doci got a email attachment, which is a .doc file and i saved it but when i open

 - MediaPlayer >> Error C00D11D5 Help me please.Windows Media Player cannot copy the files because there
 is not enough free space to store the temporary files.
 Delete some unneeded files on your hard drive disk, and
 then try again.
 This is how the error reads. Not sure how or what I
 exactly need to do. I have my audio files on a external
 hard drive and I copied those files to Windows Media
 Player, selected some files to copy, and then once the
 files have been converted the error message pops up. I
 sort of new to this and need someone to walk thru this
 problem.

 - Media Center >> read-only/permissions - can't copy media filesI cannot copy media files. I have tried two ways to fix this. 1) I have
 gone in 'safe mode' both as adminstrator and then as the user to ensure that
 I am the owner of these files and that I can copy them. 2) While not in safe
 mode, I have also opened the folder and right clicked, then properties - it
 says the files are read only. I change the attribute and then after I apply
 it and then hit OK, the files are still read-only. I have tried this under
 the broad categories such as the documents and settings folder and then with
 individual file folders under the main folder. I cannot get the files to
 change from read only. The basis of this problem was the installation of a
 secondary hard drive from my old computer to this computer.

 - Media Center >> Application Failure overlay after downloading new Media Center Update and DRMHi,
 
 I downloaded latest Media Center Update KB914548 and DRM KB913800 through
 Microsoft update and after restaring the machine I have following problem
 with Media Center.
 I start Live TV on ATSC and after several seconds I get Application failure.
 Restarting the machine doesn't help me.
 Live TV was working before I updated my computer, I had only Video error
 overlay several times a week, but changing channel always resolved the
 problem and sometimes Tuner Not Available overlay, but I'd like to return my
 machine to previous state, because I was still able to get Live TV after
 some troubleshooting. After update it looks like I'm not going to have TV.
 When I uninstalled Media Center Update and DRM I have still the same problem
 with application failure. It looks like not all files were uninstalled.
 
 How could I resolve this issue? I really cannot afford to reinstall my
 machine, because it would take a month to install and configure all
 applications). Should I uninstall Rollup 2 and install it again with other 2
 updates (KB908250 and KB912067)?
 
 I'll appreciate some fast solution, because I don't have standard TV set,
 only my computer.
 
 Thanks.

 - Media Center >> Which remote & IR receiver to use AND control other AV devices?I am looking for a universal remote that can control my MCE2005 as well as
 all my other A/V equipment. I found the Harmony880, but not sure it this is
 one of its designs and if it works with MCE2005. Also I am looking for a
 SMALL IR receiver that can be used via USB to interface with MCE2005. I
 would prefer a very small one not link the blaster...thats just rediculas. I
 would like a very small one to place inside the front facia of my silverstone
 case (yes drilling will be required). If you have any other solutions let me
 know as well.

 - Media Center >> Dual Tuners in Vista- Running Vista Ultimate x86bit
 
 I've just purchased this: Hauppauge WinTV Nova-TD Dual DVB-T Tuner - Model
 1175.
 It's connected to my PC via USB, and I've run a TV cable from the outlet on
 the wall, through a splitter, and then a cable into each of the two antenna
 sockets on the actual USB tuner.
 I've gone through the TV set up in MCE and there's nothing wrong with the
 channel detection, picture etc, it just hasn't detected the dual tuners so I
 don't have its capabilities (obviously - record and watch two channels at the
 same time, record and record etc). I've downloaded and installed the vista
 drivers for this product.
 I was running MCE 2005 on my old machine with a Hauppauge dual tuner card
 and it detected the dual tuners fine but I can't remember if i had to do
 something.
 
 Any help would be great, thanks a lot.

MediaPlayer >> AAHHH DRM'ed files have limits on what you can/can not do with them. This is
documented when you download the file. If you have problems with the
licenses for the songs you should contact the company you purchased them
from.

 - MediaPlayer >> Windows Media codecsHi!
 
 When Microsoft is introducing so many enhancements in the new versions of
 Windows Media Player (especially 10 and 11), why does it not include a codec
 to play DVDs and .avi files?
 
 It is cumbersome to find codecs from various sites. And also, if there is a
 facility in the Player to update, why does that not detect and install the
 missing codecs?
 
 This is a frustrating experience.
 
 Shall be grateful for a reply / solution to this.

 Windows Media Player cannot copy the files to the recordable disc. You may encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
 
 The CD-R or CD-RW drive is busy. Wait for the drive to complete its current operation, and then try again.
 The CD-R or CD-RW drive is not compatible. Verify that the drive is connected properly and that you have installed the latest device drivers, and then try again.

 - Media Center >> Disk Full - Say What?I haven't seen the "Disk Full" error in a while, but it showed itself again
 this past weekend. When it shows, pressing the "Live TV" button on the MCE
 remote always brings back live TV.
 
 I have MCE 2005 with all the latest auto-updates. The OS disk on this
 computer is 60GB with about 70% free. There is a separate 300GB disk for
 recorded TV that is always full. Yes, under normal MCE operating conditions,
 the Recorded TV disk is ALWAYS FULL!!
 
 I never delete recorded programs, but let MCE "keep until space needed".
 Therefore, during normal MCE operation, the recorded programs disk drive will
 quickly become full and remain full, until MCE deletes the oldest recorded
 programs as needed.
 
 This error message is really stating the wrong thing. Since the Recorded TV
 disk is *always full*, it seems to be reporting that MCE is having some sort
 of problem deleting recorded programs.
 
 Does anyone know if this seemingly ongoing bug has been addressed in any MCE
 updates?
 
 Interestingly, right after dispatching the "Disk Full" message by pressing
 "Live TV" on the remote, I went to recorded TV and scrolled down to the
 oldest recordings. I noticed that the oldest recording had a "(!)"
 (exclamation mark in a circle graphic) with text indicating that recording
 would be deleted that same day. It would seem that MCE is getting confused!!
 
 This "Disk Full" error seems to be getting generated by a poorly designed
 and/or implemented algorithm for keeping track of free space for recorded TV.
 The strange part is that MCE only intermittently produces this error.

 - MediaPlayer >> Windows Media Player Won't play anythingWindows media player wont play anything at all. It starts up fine if you just
 open the player, but if you open it by clicking a file, it errors. The error
 reporter is no help at all, and i have reported it about 10 times now with no
 help or anything after the report. All of the other media players (winamp,
 sonic, real..etc) will only play mp3s but get about the same message when i
 try to play vids. I have no clue how to fix this, and it would be one heck of
 a pain in the behind to re-install all the stuff i have on this thing,
 especially the games (half life 2, 1, and all the other steam-related crap)
 with dialup. Plus its a huge pain to download all the updates again. I'm
 supposed to be good at all this computer stuff, and managed to fix most of my
 other problems, but this one has me stumped. Oh, and re-installing all the
 players didnt help either. I think i screwed it up after a rousing game of
 garry's mod on dialup lagged so bad i had to restart. Last time i had a game
 lag like that i DID have to re-install, but i was hoping to get around it
 this time.. Thanks if anyone wants to help..

 - MediaPlayer >> Varying Audio Playback SpeedIn response to Chris, thank you for your replay, but
 changing acceleration settings doesn't seem to apply to
 audio files. The Microsoft.com site does advertise that
 manual control of playback speed is possible by selecting
 the View menu, clicking Enhancements and selecting
 Playback Speed from the options. I understand that this
 only applies to supported file types such
 as .wma, .wmv, .mp3, etc. I have tried this on 3 machines
 all equipped with WMP9, only to net the same result in
 each case - any ideas?
