Connect the TV output on the cable TV socket to the TV input on the WinTV stick, using a high quality antenna cable (not supplied).

Digital Terrestrial TV

The WinTV-soloHD / dualHD can receive DVB-T and DVB-T2 broadcasts from an antenna.

Connect the supplied antenna, or a suitable roof top antenna to the TV input on the

WinTV-soloHD / dualHD stick.

7. Dual Tuner Function on WinTV-dualHD

How to use the dual tuner on the WinTV-dualHD stick?

1. Record two overlapping TV programs

You can schedule two overlapping TV shows from the TV Guide or manually.

2. Watch one live program while another program is recorded

You can watch one live program in WinTV v8 while a scheduled recording takes place. The second, free tuner is automatically used for the recording.

3. Watch two programs at the same time

You can run two instances of the WinTV application and watch live TV in each window. For this, start the first WinTV window as usual from the WinTV8 shortcut icon on your desktop. Start the second WinTV window using the shortcut “Open new

WinTV window” in the Start menu in “Hauppauge WinTV” / “Advanced Options” or in the “Advanced Options” folder on your desktop.

8. Infrared Remote Control (some models only)

Insert the battery into the remote control, following the correct polarity.

On start up of Windows, the IR software (ir.exe) is loaded from the Startup folder (“Au-

toStart IR”). When ir.exe is loaded, you see a black remote control icon in the system tray area on the Windows task bar (next to the clock).

Hints on Using the Remote Control

- The IR sensor is built into the WinTV stick, and located on its side. So when using the remote control, point it towards the WinTV stick.

- The WinTV application only responds to the remote control if it is the active window.

- In case the WinTV stick is not connected to the USB port during Windows start up, the IR software will not be loaded and the remote control will not function. To make it work, after connecting the WinTV stick, run the “Restart IR“ shortcut in the Start menu or in the “Advanced Options” folder on your Desktop.

Playing Back Recordings

TV Guide

Electronic Program Guide information (EPG). This information is collected and displayed in the TV Guide window. Click a program title with your mouse to see more details about the entry.

To record a program, click on

Record in the details view. The scheduled recording is added to the

Scheduler window. To rescan all frequencies for TV Guide information, click on Update EPG.

Manually Schedule a Recording

Click on the Menu button and select

“Scheduler” from the menu.

The Scheduler allows you to record a TV program at a certain date and time on a specified channel. It lists all scheduled recordings added by the TV Guide as well as any manual recordings that have been set.

From here you can Edit or Cancel

(delete) existing schedule entries.

To schedule a new recording, click on the Add button. You will need to select the channel, set the start time, duration etc. and confirm with a click on the Record button.

ote: The WinTV application N does not have to be running for a scheduled recording to work, but your PC will need to be either turned on, in Standby or in

Hibernate mode. All scheduled recordings are performed in the background by the task

“WinTVRec.exe”. If a recording is started while you are watching live TV, WinTV will display the TV program being recorded.

Digital Terrestrial TV Reception

(DVB-T) in the UK

Setup”.

Display Problems

If there are problems with the TV display, they can possibly be rectified by changing the video renderer options. Click on the Settings button in WinTV and select the "General" tab, then select a different video renderer (e.g. VMR9). Restart the WinTV application.
