    Of all the computer work I've done I haven't worked with WMC too much..

    I'm guessing that you lack the TV Tuner card required.

    I suggest going on tigerdirect.com or newegg.com and finding a nice affordable one! :)

    If you DO have a tuner card, try to find the make and model number of it and Ill look into the details and walk you through it! :)

    If it was all pre-built and packaged together, you should be able to connect a cable line to the back of the computer tower.

    Next you will want to open Windows Media Center and it should take you through the initial setup for you if it is your first time opening it.

    See this article for more assistance: Set up a TV signal in Windows Media Center
