Re: media center does not have online tv

Have you configured a tv tuner, and updated the MCE? Are you using registry cleaners?
There is no settings for "live TV" to add/remove or "activate" it, If it is not there, you may have corrupted Windows/MCE, and may need to repair/re-install Windows.

Re: media center does not have online tv

Here are some registry entries locations for MCE, and how to enable live tv at startup:
Source: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/27033.aspx

check for Hidden Menu Options
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Start Menu]
"HideTV"="0"
"HideWebSite"="0"
"HideRadio"="0"
"HideMusic"="0"
"HideVideos"="0"
"HideDVD"="0"

Live TV use HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CurrentVersion\Windows\RUN) by creating a new EXPANDABLE STRING value. (Faster than putting into STARTUP folder of Start Menu)
%SystemRoot%\EHOME\EHSHELL.EXE /HOMEPAGE:VideoFullscreen.XML /PUSHSTARTPAGE:TRUE
