But TV tuners don??™t come free, so it??™s perhaps more likely that your PC doesn??™t have
a TV tuner even if it has Vista Home Premium or Vista Ultimate. This project shows you
how to add a TV tuner to your PC so that you can enjoy Windows Media Center.
If your computer has any other version of Windows Vista, you need to upgrade to
Home Premium (from Home Basic) or to Ultimate (from Business) if you want to run
Windows Media Center. Upgrading is simple, as you need only buy a new product key
and then apply it to unlock the hidden depths of your current installation of Windows
Vista, but you may find the price too high. To learn what an upgrade will cost, press
WINDOWS KEY??“BREAK, and then click the Upgrade Windows Vista link near the top of the
System window.
Windows XP Media Center Edition has many of the same Media Center capabilities as Windows
Vista Home Premium Edition and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition??”so if your PC is running
Windows XP Media Center Edition, you can largely follow the advice in this project to add a TV
tuner (if needed) and set up and use Windows Media Center. However, this project concentrates
on Windows Vista, as this is the version of Windows on which you will most likely want to watch
TV at this writing.
