Re: Restricted Content on OTA channel

Ok - did that, but didn't help. :(
I stopped the services and proved I was able to delete the DRM folder ok.
When I rebooted, the folder reappeared on it's own.

Any more ideas?
Thanks,
Chad

You could try resetting your licenses to see if it helps. Just went thru
fixing the same problem after upgrading a CPU.

I already had it installed, but I installed it again anyway. Still no
help.

Interesting... It installs without an error. Event Viewer says that it
installed successfully. However I can't find it in Add/remove programs
when
I "show updates". Nor can I find it when I run QFECHECK (I run it as
QFECHECK | SORT so they're in order). Shouldn't it show up in QFECHECK?
Can
someone who has installed it see if it shows up for them in QFECHECK?

(To download QFECHECK see:)

Thanks, but that didn't work. Any other ideas?

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
