For information on setting up a standard STB for use with Media Center see this article by MVP Barb Bowman. Its written for dual tuners, but can work with a single tuner as well. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mce/expert/bowman_dualtuners.mspx Doug Knox, MS MVP DTS-XP Win 95/98/Me Tweaks and Fixes http://www.dougknox.com =============================== Associate Expert ExpertZone - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone =============================== Replies to the newsgroups only please!

As bad as the Comcast DVR boxes are I retired my MCE box in favor of the Comcast box for simplicities sake. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Help Us Help You http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "Jackel" <Jackel[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:44FEA7AD-86C5-4B1D-B5C9-541FD215A44E[ at ]microsoft.com...
