Configuring Windows Media Center
Windows Media Center must first be fully configured (tuners configured, EPG configured, channels setup, etc) on the PC to be used as the TV Server. This setup will vary slightly based on the tuner you are using. The following is setup information for popular devices:
- HDHomeRun - http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/instructions/wmc7/
- HDHomeRun Prime - http://www.silicondust.com/support/hdhomerun/instructions/prime/
- Ceton InfiniTV Products (All) - http://cetoncorp.com/product-support/
Note: Though Windows Media Center must be configured, it is not necessary for WMC to be running to provide the connection to ServerWMC.
Please insure you can view live TV from within WMC before continuing!
