TV Tuner May Assign Different TV Channels Than

need to be reassigned.

Center.

by Media Center.
3 Select Edit Numbers.

number of the correct channel, and then press OK on the
remote control.
5 Select Assign channel to assign a new number.
Or
Select Share channel to share the channel number with
another channel.

7 If you need to go back to the channel numbers
automatically assigned by Media Center, select Restore
Default.
Adding missing channels
Some TV channels may not appear in the channel lineup
after your TV Tuner has scanned for the channels in your
area. To add the channels that are missing or to change the
associations between channel numbers:
1 Click Start on the taskbar, and then click Media
Center.

want to appear in your channel lineup, you can remove them.
1 Click Start, and then click Media Center.
2 Click Settings, TV, Guide, and then click Edit
Channels to remove the names and numbers of the
channels you don’t want to appear in the Guide.

Using the Media Center FM Radio Tuner
The Media Center FM Radio tuner scans to 0.1 less than the
actual channel. For example, the radio tuner may tune to 0.1
rather than 0.2 of a radio frequency.
You can manually set radio channels, which may improve
the sound quality. To set radio channels, refer to the
procedures in the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center
Software Guide.
Teletext Support
Media Center and your Media Center remote control do not
support Teletext in all countries/regions, even if your TV
provider supports Teletext.
Teletext may work for antenna and cable point channels, but
Teletext does not work for cable box channels.
