If your building or buying a new Media Center PC and want to transfer your scheduled TV and series recordings over to your new PC this is how I did it when I rebuilt my PC

1. Download and install mceBackup 2.0 from here (its my free tool)
2. Set the backup folder to a location that you will have access to on your new PC eg USB memory stick or server share
3. Do "Backup Now"
4. On your new install of Windows install mceBackup 2.0
5. If your on Windows Vista, go to services and stop Windows Media Center Scheduler Service (you shouldn't have to do this but it seems to work the best if you do)
6. Use mceBackup to restore the settings from the location you used in step 2
7. Start the Windows Media Center Scheduler Service (or reboot)
8. All your series records should now be present in Windows Media Center
