Ngenkathi ezinye izinkampani zekhebula nezinkampani ze-satellite zivumela amandla okulinganiselwe ukuhlela umhlahlandlela wakho wokuhlela uhlelo lwe-electronic (EPG), uma ufuna ngempela ukulawula okuphelele kweziteshi ozibonayo nokuthi uzibheka kanjani, udinga i-HTPC isebenza isofthiwe efanele. I-Windows Media Center inezinketho ezakhe futhi ungakwazi ukwandisa kulawa usebenzisa izinketho zesithathu. Ake sibheke ukuthi ungashintsha kanjani i-EPG yakho ukuze uhambisane kangcono nemikhuba yakho yokubuka i-TV.
Imisebenzi eyakhelwe ngaphakathi
Isikhungo soMidiya sinikeza imisebenzi eminingana ngaphandle kokuthi abasebenzisi bafake noma yiziphi izinketho zenkampani yangaphandle. Ukusuka ezihlungi ukufaka umbala wekhodi, ungathola izindlela eziningi zokugqoka i-EPG yakho ngaphakathi kwesofthiwe. Esinye sezici zami ezithandekayo kakhulu kwi-EPG yenkampani yenkampani yikhono lokushintsha ngokuphelele lokho engikubonayo. Ngingafaka noma ngisuse iziteshi njengoba ngizibona kufanelekile ukuze esikhundleni sokupheqa ngeziteshi ezingu-400 +, ngidinga ukuhamba ngilabo engikufunayo. Lokhu kuyithuthukisa kakhulu isipiliyoni ngombono wami njengoba angidingi ukuhamba ngekhasi ngemuva kwekhasi lokuhlunga kwesiteshi engingasoze ngilubheke. Ekhaya lethu njengesibonelo, iziteshi ze-HD kuphela ezibalwe kumhlahlandlela wethu. Sinama-HDTV futhi kufanele siphumelele ngeziteshi ezimbalwa ze-SD akuyona into engangifuna ukuyenza.
Ngokuhamba nokuhlela ngokuphelele i-EPG yakho, i-Media Center inikeza izihlungi ezithile ongazisebenzisa ukuze uthole ngokushesha okuqukethwe okufunayo. Kusukela ku-HDTV kuya emibonweni yezemidlalo neyezingane, ukusebenzisa lezi zihlungi zihlela okwesikhashana umhlahlandlela wakho ukuze ubonise lokho okuqukethwe kuphela. Ungasheshe uphinde uhlaziye umhlahlandlela wakho ogcwele ngemuva kwesikhathi lapho kungekho ukuhlunga okungunaphakade.
Esinye isici esakhelwe ku- Media Center yikhono lokufaka ikhodi yombala wakho umhlahlandlela wakho. Ngenkathi kungekho okukhethwa kukho ukuhlela umbala, uma uvula le nketho ngaphansi kwezilungiselelo zakho ze-TV, izinhlobo ezithile zohlelo lushintsha umbala kumhlahlandlela. Amabhayisikobho aphuzi, izindaba ngumbala womnqumo kanye nokuhlelwa komndeni kuba luhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Nakuba kungenjalo konke kuthola umthunzi omusha, ngibe nalolu khetho luvuliwe kusukela ngosuku olulodwa ku-HTPC yethu. Yenza ukutholwa kubonise njengoba uhamba ngokusebenzisa umhlahlandlela (ngisho nokuhlelwa okunye) okulula kakhulu. (Futhi kubonakala kuhle futhi!)
Izinketho zenkampani yesithathu
Uma izinketho ezinikezwa yi-Media Center akwanele, kunamaqembu amaningana ama-third awakhuphuka okwenza kube lula ukuthola iziteshi nokuqukethwe kodwa futhi wenze i-EPG yakho ibonakale enhle. Okokuqala kulawa (futhi owodwa ongabona kuzikrini ezifakiwe) yi-My Channel Logos. Lolu hlelo luzofaka ama-logos ngayinye yeziteshi eziqondiswayo. Ngenkathi abantu abaningi bangase basetshenziswe ukusebenzisa izinombolo zesiteshi, kufanele uvume ukuthi ukuzama ukuthola 786 noma 932 kungathola ukhathazeka. Ngokusebenzisa i-logos, ufaka isici esibonakalayo esivumela ukuhlonza okusheshayo nokulula kwesiteshi.
I-Logos yami Yesiteshi ikuvumela ukuthi usebenzise ama-logos amnyama namhlophe noma ombala okwenza ngempela i-pop ku-EPG. Ngenkathi isofthiwe izama ukuzenzela ngokuzenzakalelayo wonke ama-logos akho, ungathola ukuthi kukhona okushiwo. Uma kunjalo, kunezinsiza ezimbalwa ze-intanethi ezizokuvumela ukuthi ugcwalise izikhala futhi i-My Channel Logos ivumela ukuhlelwa kwe-logo ngayinye uma ufuna ukusebenzisa isithombe esihlukile.
Ngenkathi ingeke ishintshe umhlahlandlela wakho ngokubukeka, Ithuluzi le-Media Center Guide liyindlela yokuhlela, yokuphatha, yokulondoloza nokubuyisela izilungiselelo zakho zomhlahlandlela. Ukusebenzisa ithuluzi, ungangeza uphinde ususe iziteshi kanye nokuhlanganisa ibhulogi lakho le-tuner uma udinga. Isofthiwe izokwazisa futhi ukuphatha umhlahlandlela wakho kude uma kufanele udingeke.
Ukulawula Okugcwele
Ngokubanzi, abasebenzisi beMedia Centre banamathuluzi adingekayo ukulawula ngokuphelele nokuphatha iziqondiso zabo zohlelo lwe-elektroniki uma befuna. Ngenkathi i-MSO DVR UI izokuvumela ukulawula, uma ufuna ngempela isipiliyoni esingokwezifiso, lena yindlela engcono kakhulu yokuyithola. Enye isofthiwe ye- HTPC inikeza izixazululo ezifanayo. Uma ubheke ngempela ukuthi ungabheki kahle kuphela kodwa umhlahlandlela osebenzayo, ungayifinyelela ngomsebenzi omncane kanye nesinye isofthiwe sosizo.
