Re: decoder error in media center

That could be a thing worth looking at
I've tried a lot of things none have worked so far
my guide subscription ran out a few days ago it might be the cause of the
problem seeing it can't download updates anyone because it's expired not
sure if that would be the cause of decoder errors though
I was looking in the daignostics console for any errors that may be related
to it
and found quite a few errors with ehrecvr.exe that file is a part of media
center
I'll look into the tv guide issue and let you know how I went
I going to keep working on this but I don't think I'll go as far as
reinstalling vista seeing RC! will be out very soon
