    Changes to ATSC /QAM Tuners in Win 7

    Filed under: Windows 7 Media Center; Tagged as: ,

    This is coming through Richard Miller’s blog over at TDL.  Chris from the ehome team has posted to The Green Button that on the 11th of March, Windows 7 users will need to run their TV Setup again in order to make some adjustments to ID used.

    From the forum post:

    What this means to you is that on ~3/11/09 there will be a change to the headend which will require you to go through TV Setup. ***NOTE*** This is not through first run, and should keep you from losing any scheduled recordings etc. since it will simply map to use what headend is used to populate guide updates.

    You can find TV setup at: task –> settings –> TV –> Setup TV Signal
    Once you have gone through TV Setup, there should be no further steps to take. To confirm the change, before going through TV Setup, you can go to Tasks –> Settings –> Guide –> About Guide Listings and note the headend ID’s. After going through the TV Setup process, you should notice the ID for your ATSC/QAM headend has changed.

    This change does not affect any other headends/data in any way.
    Since this change goes live 3/11/09 I would recommend that you use this process on 3/12/09 to be sure the data has come down completely. If after this process you see no new updates to your EPG, please post here and I will do my best to help confirm any issues.

     

    Be sure to make a note if you’re currently running Windows 7 and have an ATSC/QAM tuner installed.
