You need to clean the database for Windows Media Player. You can follow the steps below to solve this issue.

1. First of all exit Windows Media Center.
2. If you are using Windows 7 then Click on Start > Run. In that you have to type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows Media, and hit Enter.
3. Choose every single file in the folder and after that click on Delete from the File menu. Don’t delete the folders which are in this folder.
4. Now restart Windows Media Center.

After that Windows Media Center will rebuild the database automatically.

If it is not able to solve the problem then you can clean the database cache files for the Windows Media Center. If you want to do that then do the following.

You can include me in this problem. I am also facing the similar problem with it. I have a condition where I have got to setup my TV channels in any case once a month because they sporadically fade away. This time however I encompass copy of channels. I cannot depend on them for recording. It is extremely deprived software development unit as well as QA testing. It must be since I have been reading as well as practicing these troubles for years as I was an premature adopter of MCE 2005. But now I am now losing the entire self-confidence in the software and contaminate it should be the any supplementary way as MCE integrates by Windows 7. There is obviously a trouble from Microsoft so why don't you admit this as well as sort it out subsequent to these years.
