User Scenario
Media Center PC has a radio tuner that offers a complete series of FM radio capabilities including live
radio pause, preset stations and scan. It is also possible to choose from hundreds of Internet radio
stations.
Eric returns home after a day in the office. He picks up the Media Center remote control on the table
and starts Windows Media Center. To relax at the end of a hard day, he chooses Radio from the main
menu and uses the navigation arrows to look for his favorite local classical music radio station
While he prepares dinner, he remembers one of his favorite writers is the guest on a radio talk show, one
that he never misses. Using the navigation arrows, he highlights the preset NPR station and presses OK to
dial the station automatically. He tunes in right as the host is presenting the writer. The host cites the
author’s web site but Eric did not hear it. He presses Replay on the remote control to rewind seven
seconds of the broadcast. This time he hears the web address.
Right after that, Eric remembers that he has not returned the DVD that he rented. He presses Pause on the
remote control and races out of the house. A few minutes later, he comes back and presses Play. Eric
relaxes on the sofa and listens to the rest of the interview that started without missing one second.
Radio - Highlights
In Media Center Edition 2005, Radio offers a multifunction radio tuner directly on the desktop giving you
full control of your listening experience. The preset stations allow you to access your favorite stations
immediately by pressing just one button, while the scan capabilities allow you to find the stations’
bandwidth in just a few seconds.
Now, it is possible to control the radio using Media Center’s personal recording capabilities. While you
listen, press Pause on the remote control to suspend and replay for up to 30 minutes. Replay allows you
to rewind seven seconds in order to replay important details while you listen to a radio broadcast.
The capabilities include:
- DVB-T Radio Support. Now you can receive digital radio through Digital Video Broadcast, DVB-T,
in countries that offer it like Australia, England, France and Germany.
