Recording TV tips
■
If you are watching live TV during a scheduled
recording time, you can watch only the
program being recorded. If you change
channels, recording stops.
■
If you go to another area in Media Center, the
TV channel you last selected will be displayed
in the inset window at the bottom of the
window.
■
Some channels can be shared by two or more
networks, depending on the time of day. The
Guide may display only one network’s
programming. This may cause recording
options to be unavailable. You may need to
manually update the Guide before scheduling
a recording.
Important information about My TV and FM Radio
In Media Center, FM radio shares the use of the
single tuner card with My TV. In Media Center,
you are unable to watch or record TV and listen
to FM radio at the same time.
When Media Center is scheduled to start a
recording, a warning appears that says FM radio
stops when the TV recording starts. If you do not
select
Cancel recording
, Media Center
automatically stops radio and begins recording TV.
Standby mode and scheduled recordings
You should always close Media Center before you
manually place the PC in standby mode, to avoid
file corruption and other recording problems.
