Internet TV Not An Option

I am using Windows 7, 64-Bit. After having to run a System Restore, I no
longer have the option to use Internet TV in Windows Media Center. It
just doesn't show any more. Any Idea how I can get it to work again?
Thanks very much.

FYI: I had previously installed Internet TV just to check it out, and have
since done a (Windows 7, 64-bit) System Restore. Today, after reading your
post, and out of curiosity, I checked to see if I still have Internet TV.
It's still on the menu, but when I clicked on it I was prompted to accept
the Terms of Service and Privacy Statement. I checked the agreement box, and
an Install button appeared. I may or may not reinstall, but at least I have
the option.

Open Windows Media Center > Go to Settings > General > Automatic Download

you may also force the download using the download now button.

Thank you for your help. I followed the procedures, but I still have no
way of receiving Internet TV.

I had trouble getting it to show up until I scrolled through the options and
clicked on Netflix. You don't have to have a Netflix account, or even use
it, but once it installs the program to use Netflix then the Internet TV
option shows up and it too has to be installed. Hope this works for you.
I have had it work on two different new Windows 7 installs.

I know I sound stupid, but I went through all of the options and I did
not see Netflix. Do you know what option is should be with? Thanks.

In mine, it's under Movies. First icon to the left.

Netflix is listed in Movies on the menu menu. You will be prompted to
install. I haven't done this myself, but I found it by just looking around.

BTW, I've been searching for an answer to your problem (just out of
curiosity), but was unable to locate a solution.

I meant to say Main menu, not menu menu. Waiter, please?

I think I really have a problem Under Movies, there are 4 options: Movie
Library, Movie Guide, Search, and Play DVD.
