Tracey's "How to" for using Media Center:

Pick up the remote and choose the button that says “watch tv”. This will automatically turn on the receiver, the TV, and the x box. If you come to a green x box screen instead of the media center – hit the button again. You will start at the “recorded tv” menu option on the media center. Hit it ok button to look at these and pick one or… To watch normal satellite dish – use the “live tv” button and channels up and down. To play a DVD – open the disc drive in the x box and insert the dvd. Usually it will start playing, but if it doesn’t, navigate to the “play dvd” menu option at the bottom of the x box menus. If you get into trouble: If you need to reset the media center (it locks up or something), at the login screen you can use the arrows on the remote to navigate and the password for the “media center” user is xxxxx. Then hit “enter” on the remote. That will start everything back up .
