I've redone the Registry Tweaks section of the site. It should now be much easier to navigate through the various registry entries to find what you are looking for. It is also much easier for users to add new registry entries, and you can make comments about any of the registry tweaks individually.

Check out the new Registry Tweaks page HERE.

Quick Tip

Use the channel +/- buttons on the remote to browse the guide a page at a time.

You can enhance your Media Center experience through 3rd party applications. Click here to see some.

In the Guide, press FF/REW on the remote to skip forward/back 3 hours at a time.

In the picture library, highlight the folder or tag you want, then press "Play" on the remote to start a slideshow.

Almost any menu strip can be hidden with a simple registry tweak. Click here for details.

While in the guide press the Record button on the remote twice to do a series recording.

With a picture on screen, press "Info" (or "More") on the remote and select "Rotate" to rotate it.

Pressing "OK" on the remote while watching Live TV will go to the previous channel.

With an album, video, or recorded show highlighted, simply hit "Play" on the remote to start it playing immediately - faster than pressing "OK" and then selecting "Play" on the menu.

Press "Clear" on the remote to delete the media that is currently highlighted (works for Recorded TV, Videos, Music, and Pictures).

In the Guide, press Skip/Replay on the remote to skip forward/back 12 hours at a time.
