Step 1 - Before configuring Media Center Master to add a new TV Series to the collection, it is important for the user to know the correct name and spelling of a current airing TV Series with new episodes being shown weekly.  A good place to make sure of this is to visit the EZTV[http://eztv.it/showlist/ Show List] page.
 
*Begin with changing the "Filter Show List by Status:" to "Airing" with the "pull down menu" button (&or;), to get the current airing TV Series.
 
*Pay close attention to the "Status" of the shows, "Airing: Irregularly" or "Airing:..."
 
*Pick a TV Series, making sure it is an "Airing:..." series.
 
*Highlight the complete name with the left mouse button to select it for copy and pasting into Media Center Master.
 
*Return to Media Center Master

Step 4 - The name for the TV Series used in the this example, Covert Affairs, is used for demonstration purposes, only.  The user should not use it for a first run testing.
 
*Paste the name of the chosen TV Series selected above into the "Search by title:" blank area,
 
*Click the "Search" button, after a few seconds, the chosen TV Series information should show in the "Selected T.V. series:" area,
 
*If the TV Series is listed, click the "Next" button then continue to Step 5.
 
*If the TV Series does not show up, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 and 3.

Step 5 - Assuming all of the data provided to the internet sites used for this step is up to date, there should be a "Confirm Settings:" listing showing "Status: Continuing" for the selected show.
 
*The check box for "Keep this series up to date with new episodes" should have a check in it.
 
*If the check is present, click the "Finish" button to close the "Add a T.V. Series..." window and continue to Step 6.
 
*If the check is not present, go back to Step 1, pick a different show, and repeat Steps 2 - 4.

Step 6 - There should now be an entry added to the "Media in your collection:"
