Important information about My TV and FM radio
If your Digital Entertainment Center has one TV tuner, the 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. If your system has two TV tuners, you could 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.
