Windows 7 is gradually accepted by users. More and more people have already adopted Windows 7 as their preferred operating system, mainly because of the many new features added in Windows 7, and we will introduce one of them today. Features - Media Center, in Windows 7, Windows Media Center is more useful than any previous version of Windows Audiovisual Media. The following describes the TV center installation process in the media center, digital broadcast TV support, program guide, Internet TV, access to the media center from the desktop For RAW file support for images, music playback, etc. Let's take a look at it.

Digital Play TV

In Vista, the processing level of ATSC wireless digital broadcast TV is very poor. If you use an ATSC antenna, the TV installation process takes longer, and after you install the digital channel, these channels are assigned a four-digit channel number that is spread away from the analog channel. Windows 7 simplifies the installation process and the use of digital broadcast TV. When we run the Live TV installation option in the TV menu control, Windows 7 determines the digital TV channel and assigns it. X channel number, such as 14.1, 7.2, etc. in the program guide. If you look at all the digital TV channels specified in Windows 7, you don't have to worry about it.

However, it is possible that some channels do not provide a strong enough signal, especially when you use an indoor antenna. In Windows 7, there are two ways to optimize ATSC digital TV quality: search for more channels and enhance the signal of the digital TV antenna. These two options can be found in the Task ——>Settings——>TV——>TV signal. Searching for more channels can determine if we can choose the remaining digital TV channels. Next, the enhanced digital television antenna signal is used to search for the assigned digital television channel. In this process, the antenna can be adjusted to improve signal strength. Unselected channels will be removed from the program guide. Remember, if you have a better antenna, you can run these wizards again to see if you can get more channels.

Internet TV

There are three ways to get internet TV: 1. via desktop accessories; 2. through the media center's program guide; 3. through the extra menu controls in the internet TV option. Regardless of whether you use the TV adjustment period, the MSN channel will be displayed in the program guide. Windows 7 now includes a beta version of Internet TV.

When you first select Internet TV Test 2, you will be prompted to update your desktop player. Click “Update” to download and install the update file (2Mb). Although Windows Media Center still includes Internet TV 1.1 beta, Internet TV Test 2 is more convenient to use. It provides an interface that focuses more on content than on directories, and looks more like WMC's other media menus, while also providing higher resolution video.

But remember, Internet TV is still in beta, and its performance is directly proportional to the speed of the Internet. Here we recommend everyone to use wireless-N or Gigabit Ethernet.

Opening the Media Center Directory from the Desktop

When you start WMC, you will be prompted to install desktop accessories to access the Internet TV on your desktop. Click OK to start TV recording and Internet TV by adding a WMC accessory. When you add accessories to your desktop, the desktop displays the most recent TV recordings and Internet TV channels. You can specify the number and type of directories you need to display.

Click on the directory (1), click on an item (2), WMC will open, and it will play the selected content immediately. WMC supports the Windows 7 Jump List feature, so when you click Windows Media Center in the Start menu, you can select the most recent TV recording or other recently viewed media.
