Television is one media which communicates things faster than any other media source. Now a days TV can be viewed from PC too. If you want to start Live TV using Windows 7 Media center then we are here to help you with this.

The following steps will help you to accomplish the same:

Step 1: Right click on the media center shortcut icon on desktop and select properties.

Step 2: Click on the short cut tab.

Step 3: Inside the Target box you can see the location as
Code:
%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe
Leave a space and add
Code:
 “/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true”
So that the final string will be like
Code:
%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe “/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true”
And click OK.

If you are using the media center from the start menu then you need to follow the below steps:

Step 1: Go to start and right click on Media Center and select properties.

Step 2: Click on the short cut tab.

Step 3: Inside the Target box you can see the location as “%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe”

Leave a space and add ““/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true”

So that the final string will be like
Code:
%windir%\ehome\ehshell.exe “/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true”
And click OK.

Now when ever you open the media center again then you can see the channel that you have last viewed in Live Mode.

This will definitely save your time. Try and enjoy watching TV on PC.
