Windows Media Center Personal Video Recorder PVR How To

1. CableCARD or MCard tuner from your provider.  My provider was Verizon FIOS and I ordered the MCard from their website and waited the week for it to arrive at my house.  You only need one per CableCARD device. Other cable companies also provide this MCard.  Cox and Comcast.
2. CableCARD tuner.  I purchased a Ceton InfiniTV PCIe device for my computer through newegg.com for about $199 (they should be on sale now as the PCIe 6 device [$299] just came out).  The PCIe 4 device was fine for me in recording 4 separate channels at one time.  You can use the USB device as I tried but had issues and switched to the PCIe device.
3. Personal Computer (PC) with the minimum requirements as stated by Ceton.  I also added a 2TB hard drive for recording space.
4. Windows 7 or 8 operating system (OS) with Media Center (MC).  I purchased Win7 OS and upgraded to Win8 and got the free upgrade to MC before 30 Jan 2013 cut off.  If you do not already have MC then purchase through Microsoft.  Believe its still $60.
5. HD TV service from your service provider.

1. To provide service to other rooms throughout the house you will need a Windows Media Center Extender (WMCE).  If you already have an XBOX360 you have a WMCE.  If you need to purchase one Ceton makes one that is cheaper than buying a new XBOX360 called the Echo.  You could also purchase used XBOX360s from GameStop, Newegg.com, etc.  Think of this device as your new set-top box.  Youll own it and wont pay rent on it.
2. A router and this is were it gets iffy.  The industry tots that a WiFi "N" router can handle media streaming.  This might be the case in testing but in my experience hasnt panned out for me.  I had to go to an all wired architecture.  By all wired I also mean power line networks.  I have my main 60" LCD LED mounted over my fireplace with no access to a hard wired CAT 5/6 cable.  I do however have access to a home power plug.  I plugged the network homeplug (network power line) into the power outlet and the other end of the power line adapter close to my router and finished network connectivity.  I purchased the Belkin AV500 and it works great.  They do have a new Powerline Gigabit HD version out now and for a little extra doe might be worth it.  Refer to the owners manual for proper setup.  Recommend not using surge / multi-plugs power strips as they do not work well with these devices.  Youll know because the bandwidth speed is crap.  Also ensure the two plugs you decide to connect are on the same circuit.  Security reasons, I would recommend encryption because even the plugs on the outside of your house could be used to tap into the network.    Everywhere else I ran hard line CAT 5/6 cable linking to other WMCEs.
3. You might require a swtich if you run out of CAT5/6 plugs on your router from overcrowding.  I went gigabit 10/100/1000.  Not necessary as 10/100 switches will have more than plenty of bandwidth to stream.  I wanted to ability to transfer file from one computer to another with greater speed is why I went gigabit.

Troubleshoot A picture set to centered to line does not actually center to the line Error

A picture set to "centered to line" does not actually center to the line

See the attached image...the picture is anchored to the line, and vertically set to "centered" to line"...

the red line shows an extension of the center of the picture, which extends to a position between the anchored line and the line above
The blue line shows what is expected to be the "center of the line" and where the center of the picture would be aligned to.

I know i can use the absolute position and make an adjustment, but if i change the image size, it would stay centered, and i need to re-figure out the offset
