The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005

SYMPTOMS

CAUSE

This issue occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • There is a Program Guide available for your region.
  • The Media Center Setup Wizard has downloaded the Program Guide.
Because the Program Guide already lists the available channels for your region, the Media Center Setup Wizard does not redundantly scan for channels. If there are no Program Guides available for your region, the "Scan for TV services" feature will be available.
