Media Center “did you know?”

For you Windows Media Center users, did you know…

If you click the EXIT button on your remote when you have a TV Recording selected, it will automatically ask you if you wish to Delete the recording?!?!? This saves a bunch of time if you need to delete a large number of shows and don’t want to take up as much time. (The other way to delete from the TV view, is to right click, then select delete…so this saves you that extra 2 clicks!

and…

During the guide setup, when you have to scroll down through 51 pages of legal stuff…if you click the LEFT ARROW BUTTON, it will take you to the Next page button?!?!

how about…

Those of you who have been trying to Share your Recording TV per Mike’s Guide (other Mike, not me) but have been unsuccessful, try this: Add the Recorded TV folder in your main MCE Watch Library (Tasks > Settings > Library Setup > Add Folder to Watch > Find your Recorded TV). I had gone through all the steps, but it wasn’t until I did that, that my recorded shows from my other system showed up. Give it a shot if you’re getting frustrated!

 

Just a few hints & tricks that hopefully will make your Media Center life more enjoyable. I’ll try to learn some more & post back. Enjoy!
