| Guest | Windows Media Center is really Pi*&ing me off I cannot find another message base that is specific to WMC so I'm putting the problem here. Can someone tell me why this would be happening? I set WMC up to record a specific show, and it does, but in the middle of the show when I'm playing it back (sometimes during a commercial even), I get this message on the screen: "Restrictions set by the broadcaster or originator of the content prohibit playback of the program on this computer". This is sooooooooo god blessed aggravating, I cannot even begin to tell you how aggravating. This has happened more than once on a couple of different occasions. But it does not happen all the time. What gives here? Is it a setting within WMC, some kind of security setting or something? I'm not sure of this, but I think it was actually on the exact same show/channel each time. The new Knight Rider show on NBC channel 3 in my local area. Is anyone else having this aggravating problem? Thank you for your time. |

| Guest | Re: Windows Media Center is really Pi*&ing me off :-) Way to lighten the mood, I needed that. So in order to get around this problem I have to go out and spend MORE money. My God, doesn't it ever fricking end? Or could the software you're talking about possibly be free? Probably not huh? Anyone else have any ideas as to what is up and how to get around it? Thanks for the laugh Paul. :-) Oh, and I like the show myself, but hey, to each his own. :-) "Paul MontDenturesDropped" <Paul@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OPHIaJgKJHA.5972@xxxxxx Quote: > Dirty Dawg wrote: > Quote: >> I'm not sure of this, but I think it was actually on the exact same >> show/channel each time.

| Guest | Re: Windows Media Center is really Pi*&ing me off Hey, thanks for the info. So I'm assuming that that program runs on Vista? I mean I don' thave to go out and buy Linux do I?
