We've been using Media Center 2005 for a little over a year and now we're
experiencing that some of the shows we want to play back say:
Restricted Content: Restrictions set by the broadcaster and/or originator
of
the content prohibit playback of the program on this computer
I've heard of this before with certain shows recorded on HBO, but my wife
is
getting this with shows like General Hospital and Ugly Betty which are
broadcasted over the air on channels 2-13. My wife was saying it even
happens when she tries to watch General Hospital live. It's strange too,
because for some shows like Ugly Betty, it doesn't occur until you're 50%
into the movie! With General Hospital you only get to watch about 5
minutes
of the show, then it gives you the blue screen.
We don't have cable. We get 100% of our shows from OTA (over the air).
The
restricted content error happens for most of the shows from ABC. We're in
Orange County, CA.
I've installed all of the Windows Updates on the Media Center (except for
IE7) including Media Player 11 hoping that would solve the problem. I've
noticed a few other hotfixes for Media Player 10, but not for 11. I've
also
tried playing these movies on another XP box with Media Player 11, but
when
it hits the portion that's restricted, it just stops playing the movie w/o
an
error. I've verified that I've been using the latest tv tuner device
drivers
and latest MPEG decoder available. Are the shows recorded w/ the blank
blue
screen, or will I be able to salvage them once we can find away around the
Restricted Content?
Let me know what I can try!
Thanks,
Chad
