SYMPTOMS
When you use the Media Center Setup Wizard in Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2005, the wizard tries to scan a channel that you do not receive Digital TV broadcasts on. This problem occurs when you use the Adjust Digital TV Antenna and Choose Channel page of the Digital TV Signal section of the wizard.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Media Center Setup Wizard does not use an existing program guide when the Adjust Digital TV Antenna and Choose Channel page tries to tune channels from your television signal.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, click to clear the check box next to the channel that you do not receive a television signal on.
