Inspection utility will be run.
Check if the message "GOOD NEWS! We

drivers" appears.
Click on Close (and save details).
If you do not see this message, see below.
Step 7: WinTV Software installation
After the DirectDraw check completes,
WinTV Setup will be run.
To use the remote control, make sure
Install the Hauppauge IR Remote
Control Application
Click Install to install the WinTV2000
and WinTV-Snapshot applications.
After the Setup program is complete, you will
see a WinTV2000 icon on your Windows
desktop. To run the WinTV2000 application,
double click on the WinTV2000 icon. After
rebooting your PC, the Remote Control will
be enabled.
Step 8: The new WinTV2000 application
Scanning for channels
When running WinTV2000 for the first time, you
will need to scan for your TV channels. The
WinTV-D board has two coax video connectors:
a Digital TV antenna connector and a
cable TV connector. You will need to scan
for TV channels on each connector.
When scanning the Digital TV antenna, set
the Tuner Format to DTV-ATSC. Make sure
the Broadcast entry is set to Antenna.
When scanning the cable TV connector, set
the Tuner Format to MN. Make sure the
Broadcast entry is set to CableTV.
Setting up the channels
After you have scanned for channels, you
can add the channel names. To do this,
click on the Suite button on WinTV2000,
or click on Configure/Channels/Suit-
eManager on the WinTV32 application.
Then double click on Input Sources.
Chose Tuner for the Digital TV anten-
na, or Tuner2 for cable TV. Click on the
desired channel, then click on Edit.
Change the ChannelName to the
name of the station. Then click OK.

Step 9: Tuning Digital TV channels
Digital TV is broadcast over the airwaves. To receive Digital TV, a rooftop antenna is recom-
mended in most areas of the U.S. In cities, a bowtie antenna can often be used if positioned
near a window facing the Digital TV broadcaster.
Since Digital TV is broadcast over the air, it is necessary to position the antenna to point at
the Digital TV transmitter. We have included a utility in the WinTV application to help position
the TV antenna.
To position the Digital TV antenna, do the following:
•
Use the supplied list of Digital TV stations to find a Digital TV channel which you know
broadcasts in your area. For example, in Cleveland,
WKYC broadcasts Digital TV on channel 2.
•
Open the Channel Suite Manager. To do this,
click on the Suite button on WinTV2000, or click
on Configure/Channels/SuiteManager on the
WinTV32 application. Then double click on Input
Sources. Click on Tuner to see the Digital TV
antenna configuration.
•
Then click Add. Enter the Digital TV Channel
is checked.
Number (for example: 2 for WKYC in Cleveland)
and the Channel Name. Make sure Broadcast
is set to Antenna, and that Tuner Format is set
to DTV-ATSC. Click Add and then OK.
•
Now, to get the diagnostics menu to help orient your Digital TV antenna, hold the CTRL
button on your keyboard down while clicking the right

- No TV audio from your PC's Left and Right speaker
Be sure your PC's audio mixer LineIn setting is not muted, and at a reasonable volume level.
If the LineIn setting is not muted, you can verify that the WinTV card is working by connect-
ing self-amplified speakers directly to the A/V cable's 1/8" miniplug. Use the supplied
Adapter if necessary.

- Poor TV Reception or Not detecting all channels:
Poor TV reception is generally the result of an insufficiently strong TV signal. When using a
'roof-top' antenna, an aerial booster may be required. If you find that some or all of the chan-
nels have not been detected, you can insert channels manually.
