Make Recorded TV Appear in Windows 7 Libraries

Windows 7 users have "Libraries" that exist on a per-user basis, but Public Libraries don’t appear in a user’s list and the Recorded TV Library is only visible in Windows Explorer after a user has configured a TV Tuner from within Windows Media Center.

Although this behavior is ideal for networks where only a Windows Home Server is used for storing Recorded TV, in the multiple PC home Recorded TV is frequently stored on multiple machines and/or multiple folders on various machines.

And if this is so for you then there is a solution that will allow you to configure the built-in Recorded TV library from within Windows Explorer on machines that don’t have a tuner card installed, which you can find here.
