Symptoms

Assume that you use Windows Media Center to watch interactive TV on a Windows 7-based computer. When you try to input a correct password to a TV program by using the mouse pointer or the color settings button, an incorrect string or key code will be sent to the TV broadcasting station. Therefore, you cannot use interactive TV functions.

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows Media Center sends an incorrect string or key code to the TV broadcasting station.
