Problem:-
I have Windows Media Center on my desktop which is running Windows 7 ultimate.I wish to play recorded tv programmes done on my desktop on my Surface RT.How can I do this?
Resolution:-
DVR-MS format is not supported on Surface RT.So to watch recorded tvs (on WMC),you need to convert to mp4 files.Frremake is an awesome converter.There is also an app-Metro Media Centre

Problem:-
The problem started after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro.Whenever I try to record it gives me error that I don’t have “enough disk space” but I actually have 900 GB Free space.I have tried tweakings including HD recording disabling but no luck.

4.Open Administrative Tools.
5 Double Click on Computer Management ,navigate to System Tools->Expand it to Task Scheduler->Task Scheduler Library->Microsoft->Windows->Media Center
3. In the central panel locate “MediaCenterRecoveryTask” which should have a status “Ready”. Right click on this task and select Run (status goes to “Running”)
4. Wait a while for the task to do its stuff (the status doesn’t seem to change) then right click on the task again and select End (status goes back to “Ready”)
5. Open Windows Media Center which will report that there has been a problem and that it is necessary to run through the setup again.

Problem:-
I am facing an annoying problem.Whenever the Media Center application starts it’s trying to record a program.So far I tried to uninstall and reinstall WMC.
Resolution:-
1. Right click on “Computer” and select “Manage”.
2. Under “Services and Applications” open “Services” and stop “Windows Media Center Scheduler Service” and “Windows Media Center Receiver Service”.
3. Open up the following directory “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\eHome\Recording”.
4. Shut down both of the Media Center services in #2 above and quickly rename (or delete) the “Recording.xml” and “Recording.xml.bak”
5. Start the service “Windows Media Center Service Launcher”.
Problem:-
I had a problem with my system and I was forced to go for a factory restore.Before doing that I copied all my recorded tv programs to a back up HD but now I can not play those recorded programs -am being told I can only play them back on the computer that recorded them.
Resolution:-
When you did a factory restore you unfortunately lost all your earlier PlayReady Keys (DRM) .As a result you are unable to play those copy protected recorded programs.If you don’t make system images, you run the risk of losing the ability to play the protected recordings
