Connecting a dual tuner (Select models only) NOTE: The Television (Electronic) Program Guide is not available in all countries/regions. The computer records television programs and enables you to control the television channels. The computer supports two tuner configurations: TV Tuner Single-tuner TV source Dual-tuner TV source Description Requirements Watch or record only one program in the NTSC or PAL format. If you are using a TV antenna or standard cable connector, the signal is routed to a single tuner. Watch a show on one channel while Windows Media Center records another show on a different channel. You can also record two different programs at the same time. If you are using a TV antenna or standard cable connector, the signal is routed to both tuners internally. If you are using a cable or satellite set-top box, you must connect a second set of inputs. Otherwise, connect a second set-top box to the second set of back-panel connectors. TV sources must be of the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite TV, or antenna. TV sources must also have the same, identical channel lineups; for example, if you are using two satellite TV sources, they must provide exactly the same channels. All TV viewing and scheduling is provided through the Television (Electronic) Program Guide in Windows Media Center, so both TV sources must have identical Television Program Guides. 42 Start Here
