Tip:
When recording a program, you can only watch the program that is
recording. If you change channels during a program recording, the
recording stops.
Tip:
The Guide is available to multiple user accounts on the Windows XP
Media Center. However, the program recording schedules are shared
among all accounts. A program recording conflict message appears
if a user tries to schedule a recording for a time that has already been
scheduled.
Tip:
To record programs to the hard drive, your Media Center PC must be
turned on, in standby mode, or hibernate mode. For more information
