    One Guide and Windows Media Center PC (HTPC)


    Please do not hijack this thread with similar issues. I have read through quite a bit of this forum in search of an answer to the following and have seen many variations of the problem asked and resolved. This question is specific to
    Windows Media Center Boxes using OTA (Antenna) as the video source
    (NO STB)

    My setup:

    Panasonic TV

    Intel Nuc with Windows 8.1 Pro (w/ Media Center) - attached via usb to Hauppauge Tuner to view OTA channels (no STB of any kind)

    NUC has built in Infrared receiver and works with any standard WMC remote.

    Xbox One with Kinect

    Dilema:

    I can view my HTPC in the Xbox TV app. I see all my OTA channels listed in the One Guide. I cannot change the channel using One Guide.

    What I've done so far:

    I proceed through the TV setup wizard until I get to the Set Top Box section. When asked for the type, the only available option for my setup is "Media Center PC". The wizard then asks for a specific model. No matter what I type, it is rejected. If I skip,
    I can complete the wizard but when I try to change channels with the One Guide, it jumps me right back into the Tv setup wizard.

    After much research I was able to find a remote code 1272 and I thought my problem was solved. The One guide can now send commands to my IR .... but it never seems to send "." needed for OTA channels. So instead of channel "7.1" the One Guide send "71" which
    of course is not a valid channel.

    Please help. I've gotten this far, only to be foiled by a "."

    :)

    Xbox One and Media Center

    Our family loves Windows Media Center. Our family records TV using The Guide on our Media Center computer with three HD ATSC tuners installed.

    We have three Xbox extenders that have turned our home into a wonderful multi-media experience. We use
    Media Center to listen to our favorite local FM Radio Stations. We
    play Music and Picture Slide Shows from our Media Center PC. Please
    keep our Media Center PC's up and running. I will not do without
    Windows Media Center.

    If not supported in future Window releases and/or Xbox One...I may never upgrade extender hardware or operating systems again, sorry to say.

    Please keep the love and
    THANK YOU MEDIA CENTER DEVELOPERS and SUPPORTERS. What a GREAT JOB you have done with Windows MEDIA CENTER!!!

    Keep the love. Keep Windows Media Center. We love to
    PLAY.

    Sincerely,

    Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
    licensed user,

    You can map the channel numbers in Media Center to anything you like. Tasks, Settings, TV, Edit Channel, I believe is how it goes. There is a place where you can change the channel number. I also had to set up OneGuide as if it was local cable instead of
    OTA and map the channels in Media Center to what they are on that cable provider. It still wasn't properly sending the channel number even after removing the decimal point. Probably because the HDMI port isn't set up properly for OTA signals.

    Most PC Graphics Cards if any Do Not Support CEC so it's unlikely you will be able to change channel using Windows Media centre via HDMI. You can However buy CEC adapter like this. www.pulse-eight.com/.../usb-hdmi-cec-adapter

    Hey SeniorTrip,

    I was having the same problems with my OTA/WMC setup. Did you see this thread? Read toward the bottom.

    forums.xbox.com/.../5086988.aspx

    It might be what you're looking for. Basically, I selected a different 'cable provider' instead of Antenna. Then I remapped the channels in WMC to align with the cable channel number. This fixes the missing "." problem. (it also fixed other weird problems
    too)

    Good luck,
