First you have to decide that from where you are accessing the Windows Media Center so that it can be possible for us to make the solution of your issue. Let me assume that you are starting from the Desktop so first right click on the Desktop Icon and then go to the Properties and now move to the shortcut tab. Here in the target just enter a space and type this “/mcesuperbar://tv?live=true” and hit OK that it!!!!!!

You can use Windows Media Center to watch live and recorded TV programs. You can even pause or rewind live TV so you don't miss any of the action. You can get more about this on the Microsoft's Official Site so that you can get more knowledge about it. You can also check the Forums thread about the Live TV given below
