Connecting the TV signal source to the computer

WARNING: Please read "Additional Safety Information" in the Limited Warranty and Support
Guide before installing and connecting your HP TouchSmart PC to the electrical power system.
To connect a TV signal to the computer, your computer needs a TV tuner, which is included with select
models only. You also may need to purchase some cables separately.
NOTE: Availability of signals is limited by the strength and accessibility of the originating TV signal,
location and other factors. Performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product.
WARNING: Norway and Sweden only: Cable grounding notice for products with a TVB tuner.
Your TV tuner requires that you use a TV tuner isolator (adapter) (purchased separately) with
your computer to connect a coaxial cable to the TV signal source. Using the TV tuner adapter
helps prevent personal injury and computer damage from surges on the coaxial line.
