Quick Installation Guide.
|
* DVB-T or Analogue TV reception requires a TV aerial (a high gain rooftop aerial is recommended). If you have a cable or satellite TV box, Windows Media Center will need to use the included “IR blaster” to control the box for channel changing.
* For Digital Terrestrial reception, some viewers may need to replace their aerials if the installation is old or in poor condition. Digital Terrestrial coverage is improving all the time as digital terrestrial television transmitters are continuously being updated. However it may take some time for full coverage to reach particular areas of the country. Your local retailer will be able to provide up to date coverage information for your area based on a post code database. To check if you can receive a digital transmissions in your area, enter your Post Code at: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/
* An Internet connection is required for the Windows Media Center EPG service.
* Media Center supports a single TV tuner configured for either Analogue, DVB-T or STB reception. It also supports the addition of a second TV tuner however it must be configured as the same reception type as the first (i.e. if you are using Media Center for DVB-T reception you may add the HVR-1700 MC and configure it for DVB-T reception).
