The computer records television programs and enables you to control the television

channels. The computer supports two tuner configurations:

TV tuner

Description

Single-tuner TV

Watch or record only one

source

program in the NTSC

or PAL format.

Dual-tuner TV

Watch a show on one

source

channel while Windows

Media Center records

another show on a different

channel. You can also

record two different

programs at the same time.

Requirements

If you are using a TV antenna or

standard cable connector, the

signal is routed to a single tuner.

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.
