Re: MCE RADIO

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



It should be on the main MCE menu, but I don't know how MCE supports DVB-T tuners. I'm running Vista right now, so can't check, but you can try Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Lower left corner click Program access and defaults. Click the Custom listing. Scroll down to Media Center and see if Radio is listed, and enabled.

Thanks for you help...
I'm sure that my tv receiver has an FM tuner... i have the dvb-t stick from
Freecom that i was originally using with the bundled software. I could scan
for stations and listen to the radio with that software no problem, but since
i'm using it with MCE i have only been able to receive tv, and have had no
option to listen the the radio and cannot find where to.
Is there a specific location that im missing?

To do this, your tuner card must also have an FM radio tuner, as well. Many
do, so its not a problem. During setup MCE will recognize that you have
compatible FM tuner hardware and allow you to listen to FM radio. If you
have dual tuners, then you may have two FM tuners, as well. In this case,
MCE will decide which one to use, so you may have to move your FM antenna
from one to the other.
