188 Getting to Know the Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005 Recording TVRecording TV tips

❖If you are watching live TV during a scheduled recording time, you can watch only the show being recorded. If you change channels, the recording stops.

❖If you go to another area in the Media Center, the TV channel you last selected will be displayed in the inset window at the bottom of the window.

❖When scheduling a recording in the TV Guide, you can press the Record button once to record a show, twice to record a series, or three times to cancel a scheduled recording you just selected.

❖Multiple record icons (red dots) next to a show indicates that Media Center is set to record the series.

❖When you press the Record button to record a show you are watching, the recording automatically stops at the end of the show’s regularly scheduled end time.

❖Some channels can be shared by two or more networks, depending on the time of day. The Guide may display only one network’s programming. This may cause recording options to be unavailable. You may need to manually update the Guide before scheduling a recording.
