    On-screen Buttons in Media Centre


    What is the purpose of the buttons in the bottom left corner of the live TV screen ?

    I would have thought MS would have taken the effort to put bubble popups on all of the controls or at least to publish a guide; I can't find a definitive guide anywhere !

    Secondly, does the Media Centre capture use of the remote control to itself? My remote does not work in WinTV-7 since I activated live TV in Media Centre.

    Just click them. You will soon find out. The red one is to start a recording. The next one is to view the TV guide. +- changes the channels. It is irritating that there are no bubble popups, but you will get used to it.

    No way! Who knows what damage that may do.

    Thanks, but I don't think so - I'm unimpressed with it so I'll stick with WinTV-7 as it's adequate for my needs.

    Actually I was enquiring about the row of round buttons at bottom left, The others are standard designs.

MEDIA CENTRE TAKEN OVER
in Media Center

Please help. Windows media centre has taken over my Laptop. Every programme will exe on the end opens with media centre. I can't restore to an earlier date as that opens windows media centre.
Is there a good reason why MS don't equip either the media centre or the media player with the ability to play MP4's. I don't see why they can't play them,and surely it would be in MS's best interest if they could play them.
Dual screens. One used under Media Centre (listening to radio or viewing a movie, or a recording...) and the other used for previewing photos with the native Windows Picture Viewer... Set the Picture Viewer into Slide Show mode and the Media Centre blacks out... :cry:
