Sometimes when I turn on the media center, it does not go to the normal startup screen or the screen gets cut off.
4. When I try to connect to a computer over my network, it asks me for Net User ID and Net Password. What should I use to connect to that computer? The media center asks you to login as a security requirement. You can use the login information for your computer – i.e. the username and password that your computer prompts you to enter when you start your computer. After you enter it, make sure you choose “OK & Save to My Shortcuts”. This will save your login information for future use.
watch what you have recorded within a short time span. Since the recording buffer is preset (between 1 hour and 4 hours), If the recording buffer is set for 1 hour, only the most recent 60 minutes will be recorded. So, if you leave for longer than 60 minutes, you will miss some of the recording. Timeshift works best for if you plan to return to watching TV within 60 minutes. If you plan to be away longer, then recording is the better option.
