Using the Television Program Guide

The Television Program Guide (Internet service required) is a free service from Microsoft that provides TV listings information, such as channel, network, program title, program summary, and scheduled broadcast times. This service is currently not available in some countries/regions. You can go to http://www.microsoft.com to find out if the guide is available in your country/region, and for the terms and conditions of the Television Program Guide service.

In countries/regions in which the guide is not available, refer to “Using Windows Media Center without the guide” and see “Recording programs manually without using

the guide” for more information about recording TV programs.

By using the guide, you can scroll through a list of the current and upcoming television programs and channels that are available from your television service provider. The guide displays the channel and network, as well as the program title, scheduled time block, and a brief description of the program. The number of days that are displayed depends on your television service provider; most providers display up to 14 days. By selecting a program title, a detailed description of the program appears at the bottom of the window.

NOTE: The computer requires a connection to the Internet to access the guide.

Using Windows Media Center without the guide

Before using Windows Media Center, it is important that you complete the Windows Media Center setup wizard. This wizard takes you through steps to identify your TV signal source and scan for channels that you are able to receive from your TV service 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 guide.

The Television Program Guide data might not be available in your country/region. You can still record TV programs without a guide; see “Recording programs manually without using the guide.”
