Television, Guide, Recording TV Problem I cannot enter four-digit channels into my remote control (DISH Network). My TV program did not record and/or my screen was blank when I tried to get it out of standby. The Television Guide did not automatically download. I forgot my parental control password. I cannot play my recorded TV program. Possible solution If you have connected your TV signal source through a set-top box that uses fourdigit channel selection - for example, a DISH Network (EchoStar Satellite Corporation) DP301 receiver - you may need to change your TV signal settings. To do this: Open Media Center and select Settings, TV, and then select Set Up TV signal. Follow the onscreen instructions until you get to the Choose Number of Digits screen. Choose Four digits. Then in the How Do You Change Channels screen, be sure to select the option Yes, I have to press ENTER or OK. Complete the setup wizard. ■ Make sure you do not put the HP Digital Entertainment Center into manual standby mode while Media Center is open. (You manually put the HP Digital Entertainment Center into standby by pressing the Power icon or Moon icon on the remote control or by pressing the Moon icon on the keyboard, or by clicking Start on the desktop taskbar, then clicking Turn Off Computer, then Stand By.) ■ Close Media Center before putting the HP Digital Entertainment Center into manual standby. This will avoid missed TV recordings and a potential blank screen when coming out of standby. ■ See "Common recording errors" on page 53 for more information about recording errors. Media Center will not automatically connect to the Internet and download the Television Guide if you are using a dial-up modem. Automatic connection occurs only with broadband Internet access. You must manually connect to the Internet and download the Guide. Be sure to disconnect when the download is complete. Open Media Center and select Settings, and then select General. Highlight (do not open) Parental Controls. Hold down Ctrl and Alt and press Enter on your keyboard. This will reset the password and allow you to enter a new four-digit code. If your TV program contains protected content, it may have a time limit on playback. If so, an expiration message is displayed. If the program has expired, you must record it again. 192 Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Reference Guide
