Solved Media center suddenly starting in Live TV; can't find setting to chang

[Liz27]

Just a few days ago my Media Center began starting up in Live TV mode, when it used to allow me to choose where to start. I've looked through the settings and can't find any place to change this behavior.

Don't know if it's a recent update.
I used PowerDVD to watch a few movies before this started, but that never caused changes to start-up behavior before.

Since we record and watch later most of the time, Live TV as a default is annoying.

Anyone know what I'm missing?

Right click on the WMC icon and select properties. It should only show the following:

%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe


Some have added “/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true” to that property to allow start in Live TV mode.

Wow! Thanks, pbcopter; you got it in one.
No clue how that got into the properties, but it certainly was there. Deleting it did the trick and put me back to old routine.

Many thanks!

You're most welcome.
It's funny, many people looked for that entry to have WMC start in live TV mode. Go figure.
