I am running Windows 7 Ultimate with Media Center on a 32 bit computer and a
Hauppauge TV MCE compatible card.
I am able to configure the tuner for my satellite provider and watch TV
shows.
I CANNOT watch internet TV. in fact, it is not an option in the TV menu. the
internet TV shows do appear in the guide, however, clicking on them does not
run them.

is there a configuration issue? do I need to reinstall?
is the fact that the computer is now in a foreign country mean that internet
TV is restricted only to the US?

thanks for your help

Sengupta,
Neither response that you submitted remotely addressed the original question
which involves a problem i just noticed also. A friend of mine recently
installed Win 7 Home Premium and was immediately presented with the option of
enabling Internet TV within Media Center. I installed my copy of 7 Home
Premium back in November and never received that option. If it is not
present, how does someone install or enable Internet TV?

Are you in the US?

Have you run the Media Center setup or have you only been in the standard
desktop interface?

try running the following command from
an administrative cmd prompt.

cd \

cd c:\Windows\ehome

start /wait mcupdate -u ?nogc

I am following this thread as I too cannot see Internet TV.

I am in the UK and have no Internet TV option under TV, Though I see
Internet TV under Guide - but just Sky channels (which I cannot get!).
I have no tuner.

Tried the last suggestion "start /wait mcupdate -u ?nogc" but that
seems to have had no effect.
I have also been thru' the Media Center setup (custom) again.

Any help welcome.

Nigel

The last thing I saw posted was that it is "coming soon" to the UK.

Have you seen more recent info that it was live now?
