[edit] TV shows
The TV shows section is available on only the Halo 3 Zune. It has videos placed in subsections, where the line you would usually click to view a videos information takes the user to a list of videos. It is also available on all Zune Models (Zune 30 after updating firmware). If you record TV with Windows Media Center (Windows Vista Only) you can take your recorded TV shows into the Zune software and put them on the Zune. After doing so it will create a new pane under videos called "tv shows."
