Using The Optical Disc Drive - Toshiba Satellite P500-BT2G22 User Manual

If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are
connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your
computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection
against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by
lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a
thunderstorm.
1. Save data, shutdown Windows and turn off the power.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the TV In port of your computer.
When you have been using a descrambler to receive the programs on
cable TV or satellite broadcasting, connect the set-top box and splitter to
the coaxial cable and the antenna cable.
