1. Connecting the WinTV-NOVA-TD
Please ensure that Windows XP or Windows Vista is correctly
installed and started before connecting the WinTV-NOVA-TD Stick to
your computers USB 2.0 port. Due to power and bandwidth require-
ment, we do not recommend connecting the unit into a USB Hub.
To install, locate a free USB 2.0 port (normally located at the side or
back on the computer). Plug the WinTV-NOVA-TD stick into the USB
2.0 port. You can use a USB extender cable to locate the WinTV-
NOVA-TD a short distance from the USB slot.

will need to reinstall the WinTV-NOVA-TD driver, but you
will not need to reload any WinTV applications.

a roof top aerial during the first
time installation as this may pro-
vide a better signal quality then

Digital Terrestrial coverage.

The WinTV-NOVA-TD adopts the revolutionary Diversity technology
which enormously improves mobile reception sensitivity when used
with indoor antenna reception or while on the move.

able it during the installation of the software.

Changing channels
You can change channels by using the Channel Up or Channel Down
buttons on the WinTV. You can type a channel number (for example:
27) and WinTV will tune to that channel. If the entered channel does
not exist, you will see a black window.
You can also right click in the Current TV channel box, where you will
see a list of channels. Or type letters (for example: BBC) to access to
the list of the channels including these letters.
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 makes WinTV to start recording into WinTV's
Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be ini-
tialized 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).
You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and
right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video.
While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded
in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3
times (so that you are replaying the audio/video seen 30 seconds
