SYMPTOMS
During recording of a TV show, the channel that appears on the front panel display of a Media Center Edition 2004 computer may be incorrect. However, the correct channel is being recorded.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because, while you watch Live TV and when a scheduled recording initiates a change of channel, Media Center does not update the front panel display to indicate the channel that is being recorded. However, the correct channel does appear in the Media Center shell, and the program that is scheduled to record is correctly recorded.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.



Media Center technical support
Because Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 was included with your hardware device or system, the hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for this software. Your manufacturer may have customized the installation with unique components such as specific device drivers and optional settings to maximize the performance of that manufacturer's hardware. If you require technical help with Windows XP Media Center Edition, contact your manufacturer directly because the manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that the manufacturer has installed on the hardware.
