If you’re moving from XP to Windows 7, you probably haven’t spent much time with Windows Media Center (unless you had XP Media Center Edition). Today we take a look at setting it up to watch live TV on your computer.
如果您要从XP迁移到Windows 7,则可能没有花太多时间在Windows Media Center上(除非您拥有XP Media Center Edition)。 今天,我们来看看如何对其进行设置以在您的计算机上观看直播电视。
Note: Of course to watch live TV you’ll need a TV Tuner Card installed on your system first. In this example we used an older ATI Wonder card that Windows 7 actually found the drivers for.
注意:当然,要观看直播电视,您首先需要在系统上安装电视调谐器卡。 在此示例中,我们使用了Windows 7实际上为其找到驱动程序的较旧的ATI Wonder卡。
Setup Live TV
设置直播电视
First we need to open Windows Media Center from the Start Menu.

The quickest way to get everything rolling is to choose Express setup at the Get Started screen. You can go into Custom if you are experienced and want to tweak everything right away, but after setting up with Express settings you can always go back and make changes later.
使一切顺利进行的最快方法是在“入门”屏幕上选择“快速设置”。 如果您有经验并且想立即调整所有内容,则可以进入“自定义”,但是在使用Express设置进行设置后,您随时可以返回并稍后进行更改。

Choose your region. Windows will assume it’s the same region you picked in the initial installation so it should be correct by default. If you need to change it select No, I want to select a different region.
选择您的地区。 Windows将假定它与您在初始安装中选择的区域相同,因此默认情况下应该正确。 如果需要更改,请选择“ 否”,我想选择其他区域 。
