Jason, Hit "enter" on Media Center. This will bring up a program list with My TV etc. Arrow down the list and hit on what you want to do. If you want tv, hit the "my tv" selection. That will bring up a list of "live tv", "recorded tv", "the guide", etc. Arrow to the selection you want.
"The Guide" is a grid stylelisting of channels and programs. When you enter "the Guide" it remembers the last channel you were on and puts you on the currently playing show. To change channels, arrow to the left once and then you can arrow up and down on the various channels. Find the channel you want and then right arrow across the grid to find a show you might want to record. Hit "enter" on the show and you can slect, "record" or "record series". This allows you to record a single show or the show each day/time it's on. Live Tv works in much the same manner. The FM tuner is accessed through "radio". I think the first right arrow let's you enter the frequency of the station and entering on it will bring it up. You'll need a good antenna! Those are some of the basics I've figured out so far. If you go to the Microsot.com web site and type in "Media Center short cuts, you can find a page with a good listing of keyboard short cuts. In general, when using the various function, use the arrow keys and the back space key to move around and out of functions. The keyboard short cuts seem to generally follow the usual Windows structure, but may use control+shift+ a letter instead of just control. Good luck. A bit of a warning about adding products to a Media Center computer. Microsoft was very tight in integrating programs into Media Center and changing or upgrading them can cause real problems. For example, I wanted to add an old version of Roxio Easy CD Creater. It seems that all versions or at least most version of Easy CD Creater and Media Center do not mix well at all. I'm still struggling with that. I've also seen post indicating similar problems with WMP 11 instead of WMP 10 which generally ships with Media Center.

How do I set it up to work best with JFW? Are there scripts out there somewhere? thanks, Jason No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
