| 1. Click the Vista "pearl" (formerly the "Start" button). 2. Search for "services.msc". You should see a program show up with little gear icons next to it. 3. Click the "services" program and click "Continue" on the User Account Control prompt. 4. The "Services" management console will come up and you will see a list of tons of services on your machine. 5. Scroll down the list until you find "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" in the Name column. You may need to expand the Name column since the name is long and there are four or so services that start with the name "Windows Media Center ...". 6. Double click on the "Windows Media Center Receiver Service" name. 7. You'll be presented with a dialog with multiple tabs titled "Windows Media Center Receiver Service Properties (Local Computer)". 8. Click on the "Log On" tab at the top. 9. At the top of the "Log On" tab, you will see two radio buttons. The first says "Local System account". Make sure that radio button is checked. If it is already checked then these set of steps probably won't help you. In my case, the "This account:" radio button was checked and "Network Service" was present. 10. After setting the Log On radio button to "Local System account", click "OK". 11. At this point you can restart your computer and try Windows Media Center again. If you are sure that Windows Media Center is closed then you can take a short cut by click the "Restart Service" button at the top of the "Services" management console. 12. Go back into Windows Media Center and "No Services Found" should be replaced by the FM Radio icon. *source- internet |

| I would rather not use itunes. It is a memory hog and a bloatware. Use winamp. It is the best media player and comes with some great options to search all kinds of internet radio/tv options. See this:  Last edited by 18lama; 07-13-09 at 04:21 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Rep Power: 10  | How to enable the My Radio icon in Media Center. NOTE: FM Radio is not available in the Media Center without an FM Tuner card. An internet connection is required to establish a favorite internet radio station list. Ensure an active connection to the internet before performing this procedure. 1. Click the Start button, and then click the Media Center icon. 2. In the Start window, click Online Spotlight. 3. In The ONLINE SPOTLIGHT window, click MUSIC. 4. In the MUSIC window, click LIVE365.COM. 5. Follow the instructions to select which internet radio channels to add to the Media Center. 6. Restart the Media Center. 7. Click the Radio icon to access the saved internet radio channels. NOTE: Ensure that an active internet connection is established before accessing the saved internet radio channels. P.S. - Above mentioned steps are for Windows XP based Media Center. I guess in Vista it will work in similar way. Last edited by itsmemad; 07-19-09 at 02:55 PM. |

| With a tuner card, you can use your PC as FM radio, but not useful for streaming audio channels. |
