Receiving Radio Channels with the Media
Center
The Windows Media Center also has a full-function FM radio receiver.
With this you can receive traditional radio channels and listen directly to
the computer. In this case, it offers you the comfort of a normal radio
receiver. Prior to being able to receive radio broadcasts with your
computer, you must guarantee a good signal reception. The easiest way
to do this is by using a cable box. A cable box features a coaxial radio
output connector next to the TV connector. You can connect it directly to
the radio connector on the PCMCIA TV/radio card. If you don't have a
cable box or if you don’t wish to install an extra cable to your computer,
you can also use an indoor (wire) antenna. Simply connect this with the
radio connector to the PCMCIA TV/radio card and you can start listening
to the radio broadcasts.
A Firstly, start up the Media Center as usual using the Windows Start
menu. You will be taken to the main or start screen. Here click on the
media list the option Radio. You will now be taken directly to the radio
section.
B Upon first use of the radio no channels have been saved as yet and
no playback of the programmes is possible. In order to now search for
programmes, simply use the plus and minus keys (+ / -) in the Suche
function. Just as with a traditional radio the channel scanning process
will begin.
