I cannot get my set top box(cable box)to work with my windows media center remote.  i went through the set up and it will read the remotes but will not change channel.  I have Comcast digital cable and a very powerful computer with the media center.  Please help.

the biggest problem I had was getting that IR receiver that should come with the PC over the proper location on the cable box.

I noticed that the first time i did it too. Depends on what your doing..like in my case i had my Xbox 360. I turned on the 360 waited until it gave me something like ur pc cant be found. Then i went to my PC and went to WMP 11, had to download the new official version cause i had both the betas. Then i clicked it and it loaded up something similar to the old Windows Media Connect 2..and you have to click allow to share

mmmmm.........i think you guys have really underestimated what your in for :P.      for starters just a pc and a tv out graphic doesn't cut it for broadcasting.      now for the software vizrt are the standard in the industry,  their software is awesome its a bit to get your head around at first.   we use it a lot for the work i do and the results are nice :)   if you plan on broadcasting live with these features then you will need more than one computer,  maybe 3-4.     its just too much of a workload for one.      as for hardware grass valley hardware would be the standard to with video and broadcasting.           \n\ncheck out their websites for more info :)\n\nwww.vizrt.com  \nhttp://www.thomsongrassvalley.com/

You need to have a tv tuner card in your computer.  You can buy them at places like Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. It doesn't come standard on computers, unless you have a media center edition that comes with it.

you browser could be down, if you have broadband, unplug the main cable box..wait ten seconds...then plug it back in and wait for your internet connection to start up again....this worked for me..

actually it may be the codec. download updated codecs. Also try reinstalling WMP. Check for scractches on the DVD. This happened for me already, went to a different computer and it worked.

If you have a DVD drive ( I assume you do) just use your windows media player...works flawless. Make sure you update it to the newest version so that you have the newest drivers and codecs available.

special tip just for you dude! do not unplug or swith off the mains of your box, just leave it on standby everytime coz they get updated automatically whenever there is a new free channels, codes  whatever. (you swith it off the mains you loose data  updates.......then problems for you to get new free channel from your older box) *trust me*

There are even USB TV tuners that you can buy.\nI would recommend on buying the USB TV tuner. I've "heard" that they are better than the PCMCIA ones. \nAnother reason on buying the USB one instead of the PCMCIA one is that because it's USB you can connect it on any desktop with USB. \n\nYahoo now is advertising a good USB Card for their Yahoo Go.\nhttp://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/get_started\n\nAnd here is a USB model TV Tuner http://go.connect.yahoo.com/go/tv/dvr

Hello...\n\nThe links that the other user post are only for information about IPTV... Microsoft offers systems and software for providers not for consumers. \n\nRight now is only 2 companies offering IPTV service in the US. One is a family IPTV service and the other one is an adult IPTV service, which I don't recommend if you want regular tv channels. Because they only offer 180 adult related channels.\n\nNow the other one offers almost 7,000 channels, and is very cheap. Only $69 for their IPTV reciever. I know because my uncle has it and is pretty cool...\n\nI gonna upadate my cable to IPTV pretty soon, too. I hope!\n\nCheck the links below...

U said - \n"Plugging the cable modem straight into a computer may work at times, but it may not."\n\nAll the rtr does is pass on the internet conection to a computer(s).If ur connection from comp itself is not working well,BEFW11S4(which is ok)is not to blame.Cable modems need to be power cycled a lot of times.\nSo i wud suggest that the moment u dont get a connection ,immediatel connect the mdm to comp and call comcast,who wud be bound to do sumthing abt then (as the rtr is not involved now)\n\nOR\nif u feel that the rtr's not working properly,,just call Linksys and get them update the firmware(they'l guide u thru it).Also u can insist on getting it replaced,on the grounds of it not working,but u gotto be adamant and make the call longer than 40 minutes.\nP.S. : yeah befw11s4 is an old rtr,,get a wrt54gsx,if possible

You will need some equitpment to do this.\n\n1. Dish\n2. Dish Reciever (the box that allows you to switch channels)\n3. Video Capture card (check your local electronics stores, or online stores for best price and quality) OR TV tuner card.\n\nInstall your video capture card (or TV Tuner card) into your computer.\nIf your tuner or capture card has RCA or composite connections, you may need those to connect your card to your Dish reciever. Eitherwise a coaxial cable will work (with all TV tuner cards).\n\nPresto. Open your capture card's record program or open your TV tuner cards view program and watch.\n\nNOTE: For TV tuner cards you will need to tune to the channel that your DISH reciever broadcasts to. In most cases it will be channel 3 or 4.\n\nI am not sure but certain recievers may already connect to your PC via USB or another connection. Check your manual or the Dish Network website (support/help section) for more information.

If your TV has stereo outputs, you can connect a red and white stereo cord from the outputs to the TV input on the back of the receiver, but most times you also have to turn the TV's speakers "off" in the TV's onscreen setup.  It's usually in the audio setup section.\n\nIf you have a digital cable box you can usually hookup a digital coaxial cord from the box to the receiver too.  Then you can preserve any dolby digital encoding in any movie channels you watch, if the receiver has an input for digital coax.  Otherwise you can use the analog stereo outputs from the box into your "TV" input on the receiver instead of from the TV.

Yea you are probably trying to pick up hdtv from a broadcast station that doesnt broadcast in hdtv format! Look on the net for your local tv stations and see if they broadcast over the air in hdtv.

I actually have the exact same tv tuner as you. When I first installed the software, the programs were jerky as well. What the problem actually is is that you need more RAM for your computer. RAM helps with loading and running multiple programs at the same time. The more RAM you have in your system, the smoother it will run. Just about every brand of computer has a customer support website that you can look up specifications of your particular make and model of your computer. Look up what type of RAM you need and buy that particular kind for your system and follow the instructions on how to install it into your computer. Your tv tuner, as well as your other programs will operate a lot smoother then. Good luck in getting it to work!
