If anyone is really familiar with setting up a Scheduled Task I have a real challenge for you.

I am using Windows VISTA Home Edition 32 bit /SP 2 with Windows Media Center.

I would like to create a Scheduled Task that would do the following:

Open Media Center, than open Live TV and finally open a specific channel.

Believe it or not, I was able to do exactly this before my motherboard crashed out on me and I had to re-install everything. However, I do not remember how I set up this particular Scheduled Task. Senior moments.

Your support and suggestions will certainly be appreciated and I would like to thank you in advance for your assitance.

Thank you,

HankL
 
I can get you some of the way there, since this starts up Media Center in
live tv mode ...

%SystemRoot%\ehome\ehshell.exe /homepage:VideoFullscreen.xml
/PushStartPage:True

It doesn't switch channel but may perhaps help to jog your memory ....
