4. New WinTV ® v6 Application
To start the WinTV application, double click on the WinTV icon.
When you run WinTV for the first
time, a message will appear ask-
ing you to scan for tuner channels
now. Please ensure that the TV
antenna is connected, click YES.
Select your country and broadcast type (for UK this is typically 'anten-
na'), then press the scan button.
The auto scanning process will then begin by first scanning the analo-
gue frequencies then the DVB-T frequencies. When channels are
found during the scan they will appear straight away in the channel
listing box.
N ote: If you have attached an indoor antenna and do not
receive any digital TV channels, either use a stronger antenna
(a roof top antenna is recommended for best reception) or try to
add a TV channel manually (see trouble shooting section).
Click Close when finished.

Pause Buffer
The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored
during the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV
program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space
you have set for the Pause buffer.
Clicking the Pause button will start recording into WinTV's Replay
Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized
and for Pause to become effective.
Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to
start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed.
Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live
mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window,
go into "no-title mode", etc.
While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the
Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video
Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay
Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.
While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay
Buffer. To stop saving the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must
exit the Pause mode by clicking TV mode.
Replay
While in the Pause mode, hitting the Replay button acts like the
Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the
audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previ-
ously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go
back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video
you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If
you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need
to click the Replay button six times.
For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab
the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once
you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might take a
few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing).

1. Installing the WinTV-HVR board
To install, switch off the computer and remove the computer cover.
The manufacturer of your PC supplies instructions on removing the
PC cover.
N ote: Your PC could be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Avoid this by contacting the earthed chassis of your PC,
before you open it or touch the pci card.
● Locate a free PCI slot (a short white slot). Unscrew and remove the
metacover plate which covers the back of the empty slot.
● Plug the WinTV-HVR board into the PCI slot, and screw the WinTV
HVR metal cover plate to the PC.
●
Replace the computer cover.
2. Connecting the Aerial and IR cables
You can now connect the leads
provided to the WinTV-HVR in the
following order. You will only
need to connect using the S-
Video, Comp Vid In or Line In if
you are using a external
audio/video source.
FM IN: FM Radio-Antenna
TV IN: TV-Antenna
S-VIDEO IN: S-Video-Input
COMP VID IN: Composite video
Input (RCA) LINE IN: Stereo
audio input, from the audio out-
put of your source
IR: Input for the Infrared sensor
Please ensure that you have a suitable TV aerial connected to the
WinTV-HVR card. You should then ensure you are located in a area
that supports Digital Terrestrial TV by visiting: www.dtg.org.uk/retail-
er/coverage.html and entering your post code.
If your area does have digital Terrestrial TV coverage, please check
your TV antenna as most antenna's that are over 8 years old may not
support the Digital Terrestrial TV broadcasts and you may need to
update yours to a 'Wideband or Highgain' antenna.

Using a external audio/video source (optional)
If you are using a external audio/video source like satellite TV receiv-
er, VCR, cable TV set top box, camcorder, game console etc, then you
will need to connect the S-Video input connector or Composite
video input connector for video and the Audio input (Line-In) for the
sound.
Configuring an external A/V source in WinTV
In the WinTV application, click Menu / Suite Manager and Sources.
To add the S-video or Composite source, highlight the entry and then
select the Video Format from the drop down list.
