Internet TV for Windows Media Center

What is Internet TV for Windows Media Center?

Windows Media Center is a digital video recorder and media player developed by Microsoft. It is an application that allows users to view and record live television, as well as organize and play music and videos. It is possible to watch and pause live TV. In the US up to four TV tuners on single- or dual-tuner cards are supported simultaneously (a maximum of two tuners elsewhere). Both Standard and High Definition unencrypted video are supported through DVB-T and ATSC standards. It is possible to view encrypted private network television stations that are not broadcast over the air with internal and external tuner options that support the insertion of a CableCard provided by the cable TV company.

Overview

The most common release is 4.2.2.0, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named windowslivesync.exe. The setup package generally installs about 171 files and is usually about 5.55 MB (5,818,368 bytes).
