The PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI gives you two DVB-T tuners on a single PCI card ­ and you only need one antenna for it. Depending on the software you are using, this means you can watch or record two channels simultaneously. DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial), digital terrestrial TV, offers a wide selection of channels with excellent image and sound quality, without requiring a satellite dish or cable connection. Additional services planned for the future include digital radio, interactive TV, and IP data reception. Some of these services are already available in selected areas. More information about DVB-T can be found on the Internet, for example, at www.dvb.org or www.freeview.co.uk. For Australia, go to www.dba.org.au. And now have fun with your PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI! 1 Box Contents PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI (image is a sample) Installation CD Remote control with batteries and receiver cable (images are samples) Quick Start Guide PDF files on CD-ROM: user manual, hardware operating instructions, remote control operating instructions Depending on the version of your product, package contents may vary. 2 System Requirements Your system must fulfill the following requirements if you want to guarantee proper PCTV Sat Pro PCI function: Operating System Windows XP (Home Edition, Professional Edition or Media Center Edition 2005) with the latest service pack Processor Minimum: Pentium IV with 2 GHz or equivalent AMD Athlon XP Recommended: Pentium IV with 2.8 GHz or equivalent AMD Athlon 64 Working Memory Minimum: 256 MB RAM Recommended: 512 MB RAM Hard Disk Minimum: IDE hard disk with master mode drivers and 5 GB free disk space Recommended: U-DMA hard disk with 20 GB free disk space Graphics Card Minimum: DirectX9 compatible graphics card Sound Card Minimum: DirectX9 compatible sound card Expansion Slot PCI 2.3 compatible expansion slot CD-ROM / DVD-ROM Drive or Recorder Minimum: CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive Recommended: CD or DVD recorder 3 For Your Own Safety If you purchased your PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI together with a PC and it is already installed, skip the next few sections and continue with the section "Connecting the Equipment". In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI and computer system, note the following before installing any hardware: Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electrostatic charge from your body before touching the components with your hands or any tools. Before opening the computer, make sure that the power plug is disconnected from the wall outlet. 4 Hardware Installation Preparing for Installation You will need a screwdriver to install your hardware. Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect computer from the power supply and all necessary components. Loosen the computer cover screws and remove the cover. Select a free PCI slot. Remove the slot cover on the back panel of the computer. Make sure to keep the screws in a safe place. 5 PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI Hardware Installation Insert the card into the available PCI slot. Hold it firmly on the upper edge and ease it down into the slot by applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge until the card fits securely in the slot. If you cannot easily insert the card into the slot, do not use force because this can bend and damage the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the card and try to insert it again. After Installation After you have inserted the hardware, tighten the card retaining bracket firmly on the back of the computer. Now place the cover back onto your computer and reconnect the peripherals and the power supply. 6 Connecting the Equipment to motherboard from PC power switch for auto wake-up (internal, optional) TV antenna Remote control receiver (optional) 7 Tips on Positioning the Antenna For optimal digital terrestrial TV reception, please observe the following instructions: Connect to a roof antenna if one is available. If you wish to use the indoor antenna, it should be located as near as possible to a window. Wherever possible, point the antenna towards the nearest transmitter. Try to position an indoor antenna as high as possible (for example, on top of a cupboard). An indoor antenna should not be located near a computer monitor, television or similar equipment. Make sure you have the proper polarization if you use an active flat antenna (if you are not certain, you can find out whether the antenna should have a transverse or upright position by trial and error). For active antennas without a separate power supply, activate the antenna power supply in the "Settings" menu of the Pinnacle Media Center application. Only double-shielded antenna cable should be used. 8 Technical Data Bus System PCI Rev. 2.3 TV Tuner 2 x Microtune MT2060 The frequency range is 48 - 860 MHz (VHF and UHF).
