Finding Your Standard
TV and HDTV Channels
in Media Center
(Select Models Only)
After you complete the Media Center and Digital TV setup wizards and then download your Guide, the Guide may display incorrect ATSC HDTV channels. Some channels may have an incorrect channel number and other channels may not be displayed at all. These HDTV channels may be available in your area, but they may not be listed in the Guide.
NOTE: Broadcasters sometimes use two channels: one for Standard TV (NTSC) and one for HDTV (ATSC). An HDTV channel can broadcast several programs at the same time.
A more complete ATSC channel guide is available from Titan TV. To use Titan TV, refer to the following procedures.
NOTE: Your PC needs an Internet connection to access the Titan TV guide.
