New to the scene here guys. Posted this in the comments on the Blog post but I am not sure if that gets monitored. I just got my MCE setup going and the primary focus is on DVR replacement, I have other solutions in place for my Music, Movies, etc. PC is not in the living room and all TV content is consumed via the XBox 360 Extender. Wanted to be able to boot it direct to live TV but unable to get it working:
“Michael,
It seems that this software isn’t being actively supported but I wanted to let you know I have been unable to get it working.
Windows 7 x64 SP1
xBox 360 as Extender
Installed the ValveMC x64 components as Admin
Launched HideMenuStrips.exe as Admin
Changed to MCX account and set to start at LiveTV, Save and Exit
Rebooted Extender several times with 30-sec to 5-min waits in between, no effect
Rebooted MCE PC, no change
Even setting the local account up this way doesn’t make Media Center open to LiveTV on the PC itself.
Any help would be great.
