Watch and record live TV

Record TV with ease by using the Television (Electronic) Program Guide (Internet service required) to select the shows that you want to record. You can record one show or an entire series, and watch it when it is convenient for you. You will never miss a moment of your favorite shows.

If you are constantly channel surfing, the miniguide in Windows Media Center is another feature that allows you to scroll through channels without interrupting your show. The channels are displayed at the bottom of the screen, so that you can surf without missing any key moments.

Windows Media Center also offers built-in support for archiving TV shows to DVD and fast performance when interacting with large libraries of digital media.
