Enable the TV menu on a MCE 2005 PC without a TV tuner card

Use this registry file to enable the TV menu in MCE 2005 if you don't have a TV tuner card installed.

This is useful if you, like me, installed MCE on another PC and want to watch and delete the Recorded TV on your main MCE machine.

Save the attached registry file and merge it into your registry or you could copy the below text into a new file, save it as EnableTVMenu.reg and double click it to merge it into your registry. It might be a good idea to close MCE 2005 before you merge the file.

REGEDIT4[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Settings\TVConfig]
"iVideoSource"=dword:00000002
"iBroadcastStandard"=dword:00000001
"fHasSTB"=dword:00000000
"fHasDVB"=dword:00000000
"Version"="65537"

Open the Media Center application and you should see the My TV menu in the list.

That's it. Simple!

Enjoy!
