Windows Media Center stops responding when you resume a Windows Vista-based computer from hibernation

Consider the following scenario:

  • You use a computer that is running Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista Home Premium.
  • The system is configured to use a digital cable tuner.
  • You watch Live TV in Windows Media Center.
  • You put the computer into hibernation or into sleep, and then you resume the computer.

In this scenario, Windows Media Center may stop responding (hang). Or, Windows Media Center cannot find the OpenCable Unidirectional Cable Receiver (OCUR) tuner. In some scenarios, you can watch TV again if you press the Live TV button several times. In other scenarios, you must restart the computer to watch TV.

There is a download that resolves this issue. See Hotfixes for details. This issue is resolved in SP1.
