Physical Installation
When installing add-on cards to a computer, USB tuners are the easiest, as you simply plug it into any available USB port. The driver installation is typically automatic. If installing an internal tuner, shut down your PC, open the case, and connect the tuner to the appropriate slot. Once it is properly seated, button up the case and restart the PC. Before jumping into Media Center, install the drivers for your new tuner. These are required so that the PC can communicate with the tuner.
Start the Setup Process
Now that you have physically installed the tuner, you can get started on the fun part. Again, depending on the type of tuner you’re installing, the screens you see might be a bit different, but these are the most typical. Media Center recognizes tuners easily and almost always points you in the right direction.
