I have just installed Windows 8 Pro 64-bit and added Windows Media Center. However I notice in the TV section there is no mention of the EPG despite it seemingly downloading the data during setup. Is there anything I can do short of formatting to remedy this please.
There is also no need to have control panel pinned as one user in this thread had. To quick access CP, move the cursor down to the bottom left and wait for the show metro icon to appear. Right click on that and you'l see a list of commonly used admin tools, one of which is the control panel.
Why was your router behind your monitor? I assume thats near the window? I have all the cables that come from my computer connect to a surge protector so hopefully it should protect me from such events as these.
