Hi Norma, actually there are some great keyboard shortcuts in Media Center. Windows+ALT+Enter will take you into the main Media Center menu. Control+T will get you to My TV and Control+o gets you to Recorded TV. Control+G gets you to the guide. You can activate those radio buttons simply by selecting the one you want and pressing Enter. I love my Media Center and watch a lot more TV because of it.

Subject: Re: Got a new computer, need xp media center advice Hi Rob, Here are some instructions I had prepared for another person who wanted to know about recording with the Media Center: HTH Norma When you enter on Media Center, you will land in a list which looks similar to this:My Music, Radio, HP Image Zone, HP Tunes, more programs, settings, Play DVD, Online spotlight, my videos and my TV. If you hit enter while on "MY TV" it will take you to a set of buttons, which are Live TV, Recorded TV, Guide, Search and Movies. To schedule a program to record, enter on recorded TV, then hit schedule. Now you are in a list which includes radio buttons to select by date or by title. To activate these buttons, you need to click with the right mouse button. Doing this will bring up further options which are pretty much self explanatory. Do you have your cable or satellite TV coaxial cable going directly into your Media Center? If not, when you schedule something to record, you will have to make sure that your cable or satellite box is tuned to the channel you need to record from. If you have your coaxial going directly into your media center, you will be fine. Regarding the guide section, you should be able to arrow up and down and look at what programs are currently running and I think you should be able to look up to 14 days ahead but I'm not sure. I know you can schedule a recording up to 14 days in advance. A cool thing about the guide is if your cable or satellite is wired directly into your MC, you can just hit enter on a program in the guide and the program will come up on your TV. I love this feature. _______________________________________________ PC-Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This list is a service of MosenExplosion.com.
