The set-top box and Media Center channels are out of sync

If you receive your TV signal through a set-top box, then Media C enter might encounter an error when changing to channels that are
not part of your TV service package. The automatic behavior that some set-top boxes have affects Media C enter's ability to control the
set-top box. When Media C enter changes to a channel that is not part of your TV service package, the set-top box might instead:

C hange to a default channel

Display an onscreen error

Remain on the last viewed channel

C hange to the closest viewable channel

In all cases, the set-top box performs a default action that Media C enter cannot detect and causes Media C enter to get out of sync.
Media C enter attempts to correct itself on the next channel change request. If you have an onscreen error, then you might need to use
your set-top box remote control to clear the error.

To prevent Media C enter from trying to access and record channels that you do not subscribe to, you should turn off the channels that
are not included in your television service package.
