That’s it! You’ve successfully configured a tuner to work with Windows 7 Media Center. At this point you can view live TV or use your guide to schedule program recordings. Your guide provides 14 days’ worth of data. This should be plenty to setup series recordings for currently running television programs.
While it may seem daunting and there are a lot of different screens to view, Microsoft has made installing and configuring a TV tuner as simple as possible. Other than the occasional signal hiccough, each screen is pretty self-explanatory. If you do run into trouble, you can always start over at any time. This allows for the correction of any mistakes.
Again, while an HTPC tends to require a bit more work, you may find that it’s completely worth it in the end.
