overriding frequencies in media center

[james barron]

I bought a Toshiba Satellite 5205-S705 with Media Center
edition of XP in the US. I now live in Japan. To get
Japanese channels, I changed the country code in the
registry to Japan (81). It sort of works, but not all the
channels are correct. According to Micrisoft's site, you
should be able to override the frequencies by making a
dword subkey with the name of the channel set to the
desired frequency. I tried it, and Media Center seems to
completely ignore it.

Here is were I placed the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Tuning Spaces\2\
2 is the antenna tuning space that I am using in Media
Center.
In regedit, I added a "12" dword set at various
frequencies, and nothing happened. Yes, I did restart
media center after the change.
