from the Media Center Guide.

name you entered, and then select Add.

11 Select Done when you have finished adding all of
your channels.
Editing channels in the Media
Center Guide
After you complete the Media Center setup wizard
and download your Guide, you may find that some of
the channels don’t have a strong signal.
To remove channels which do not have a strong signal
from the Guide:
1 Press the Media Center Start button on the
remote control.
2 Select Settings, TV, and then select Guide.
3 Select Edit Channels.

channel to add or remove a channel.
Or
Select Edit Numbers, select a channel number,
and then enter a new number to enter the correct
channel number. This changes the channel
assignment to match your Guide listings or it allows
you to set up a channel that is shared.
