Never having used a TiVo or Media Center before I was interested in a book that would help get acquainted with MC as well as help me use all of the features. MC is not that intuitive to use so a good manual is needed to get full functionality. This book aint it.This book does tell you how to use MC features but leaves the detail up to you. For example, it may show the menu you use for changing a setting but not how to drill down to it is left up to you.It's sorta helpful but I'm sure there are better books out there.Surprised that PC Magazine put their logo on this rather poor book.
