Connecting a dual tuner
(Select models only)
The computer records television programs and enables you to control the television
channels. The computer supports two tuner configurations:
NOTE: The Television (Electronic) Program Guide is not available in all countries/regions.
TV Tuner Description Requirements
Single-tuner TV
source
Watch or record only one
program in the NTSC
or PAL format.
If you are using a TV antenna or
standard cable connector, the
signal is routed to a single tuner.
Dual-tuner TV
source
Watch a show on one
channel while Windows
Media Center records
another show on a different
channel. You can also
record two different
programs at the same time.
If you are using a TV antenna or
standard cable connector, the
signal is routed to both tuners
internally.
If you are using a cable or
satellite set-top box, you must
connect a second set of inputs.
Otherwise, connect a second
set-top box to the second set of
back-panel connectors.
TV sources must be of the same
type: either cable TV, digital
cable TV, satellite TV, or
antenna.
TV sources must also have the
same, identical channel lineups;
for example, if you are using
two satellite TV sources, they
must provide exactly the same
channels.
All TV viewing and scheduling is
provided through the Television
(Electronic) Program Guide in
Windows Media Center, so both
TV sources must have identical
Television Program Guides.
