The Windows Media Center also features a complete TV receiver with
which you can watch live TV programmes with total convenience.
Operation is truly simple as the Media Center is very similar to a
traditional TV. Most functions can be used intuitively so that you can
master the operation with a few simple steps. Before you can use the
TV programme on the computer, you must have the Setup Wizard for
the TV receiver configured. You can find the step-by-step instructions
for this at the beginning of this chapter. Alternatively, you can select the
Einstellungen/TV option in the main menu of the Media Center. Here
you will find the option TV-Signal einrichten and TV-Programm. With
these you can configure the receiver signal (cable, DVB.T) and initiate a
channel scan. The manual setup is no different from the Wizard but only
takes you through these single steps.
A Firstly invoke the Media Center from the Windows Start menu. You
will automatically be taken to the Start page of the program. Here select
the option Eigene TV-Kanäle by clicking with the mouse. Here you can
see the interface for the TV receiver. Several functions are available.
The button Live-TV switches you directly to the current TV programme.
This will automatically display the last-selected channel. The option
TV-Aufzeichnungen enables the recording and playback of channels.
Clicking TV-Programm will take you to an electronic TV newspaper and
the option enables the channel to search for programmes of interest.
