How do I fix my Media Center, Live TV and Radio?

Posted by admin on March 1st, 2010 and filed under live radio | 1 Comment »

Two days ago my computer decided to remain at a black screen whenever I click on Live TV. Radio just doesn’t play anymore, but that may be because my antenna isn’t hooked up anymore, so I could probably fix that. The main problem is that Live TV doesn’t work. When I open Media Center its normal until I go to Live TV. Live TV doesn’t come up as No Signal, it just remains black. It’s very annoying because I usually use it to record football games and such, because I can’t always be home, or watching that game.

My computer is an HP with Windows XP Media Center Edition 2002 Sevice Pack 2.

The XP video decoder is a critical element in MCE. Run the checfking program from the link below.

Can you play DVDs from within MCE? If you can, the decoder is probably good.
email me if you need help.
