Finding Shows
to Record
Have you ever traveled to a foreign country, or gone on an expedition
in search of rare flora or fauna in some remote wilderness? Although it’s
theoretically possible to muddle through on your own, people often hire
a guide in these situations. The guide’s job is to help you locate the stuff
you’re looking for without a lot of wasted effort. Well, that’s exactly
what the electronic program guide does for you in Media Center: It lets
you go straight to the good stuff on TV, without wasting a minute on
the stuff you don’t want to see.
