Tv tuner and have been trying to figure out how to set it up To my Comcast
Box (Only 1 Comcast box) no top box , I had the cable hooked up from the
comcast box to my desktop and threw Media Center setup I saw Tv picture , but
when it comes to the option to change channels it Will not change the
channels threw the Xp Controller. I don't know what I'm doing wrong any
answers greatley appreciated thank you .

what do you mean "To my Comcast
Box (Only 1 Comcast box) no top box"

do you have a set top box or not?
are you trying to run with one set top box and one straight out of
the way to the second tuner? that won't work.

In addition to reading the article that Barbara linked (and explaining
exactly what you have), do you have the IR receiver/blaster/remote kit to
control the box?

What version of Media Center do you have -- MCE 2005?

Start at the Cable Box >> out to TV >> to TV tuner on PC just your TV >>
if the Cable Box is set to Channel 3 or 4 you need Tv tuner on that Channel
3 or 4 just the same way on our TV Views the same way as you do you TV.

Now you have a Webtv for windows! mm
