Using Media Center without a Guide

Before using Media Center, it is important to complete the Media Center setup wizard. This takes you through steps to identify your TV signal source and scan for channels you are able to receive from your TV provider. By scanning for channels, you can manually select TV programs to watch and record, even if your country/ region is unable to download the TV listings information of the Guide listed above.

The Television Program Guide data may not be available in your country/region. You can still record TV programs without a Guide; see “Recording programs manually with or without a Guide” on page 34.

If you have already completed the setup wizard, but want to change your settings or scan for TV channels again:

1 Press the Media Center Start button on the remote control.

2Select Settings, General, Media Center Setup, and then select Run Media Center Setup Again.

3Follow the onscreen instructions to scan for your channels.
