About Recording Errors

A recording error means that a program scheduled to record was not recorded. This can occur
for several reasons. If your PC was turned off and not in standby mode during the time the show
was scheduled to record, or if there was a recording conflict with another scheduled program, a
recording error occurs. If you were watching live TV when the show was scheduled to record and
declined the prompt to change channels, a recording error occurs.

Important information about recorded TV programs
When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any files or software that you created, saved,
or installed on the PC. You also lose a special code that Microsoft includes in the files of the
recorded TV programs. Without the code, Media Center will not play the TV programs
previously recorded to disk or copied to DVD or to other media.
