Chapter 5: Tips and Troubleshooting
Q1: I’ve installed the PC HDTV Tuner and can see it in Windows Device Manager . But
I just can’t get it to work. What’s wrong?
A1: Check that you’re c onnected dir ectly to a USB 2.0 por t on your comput er - if not, that
may be the problem. You need a free USB 2.0 port for the HDTV tuner to work properly; connec ting through a hub c an cause problems (particularly i f the hub’s not powered or has sever al devices plugged into i t). In some cases even an extension cord can cause problems, particularl y if it’s longer than 10 feet.
If that doesn’t solve it, try restarting your machine and make sure no other applications are running — video requires a lot of computer horsepower and additional apps may be just enough to cause a pr oblem.
Sometime even an intense virus scan or indexing software like Google Desktop Search, Yahoo Desktop Search can be enough to cause quality or reliability problems. The only way to be sur e is to trying to t urning off the s oftware long enough to chec k whether the pro blem stops.
Q2: TotalMedia is gi ving me a “device cann ot be detected” message even though
my HDTV tuner ’s plugged in pr operly - how do I fix this?
A2: This probably means your device di dn’t install properly for some reason - it’s easy t o
check, here’s what to do:
•Windows XP: right click “My Computer”, click on “Properties”, click the “Hardware” tab, then click “Device Manager ”.
•Windows Vista and Windows 7: right click “ Computer”, c lick on “Proper ties”, then click “Device Manager”.
If all’s well, you should see an item called “UDC TV BOX” under the section for “Sound, video a nd game controllers”.

If it’s listed s omewh er e els e a nd has a ques t ion m ark or an e xcl amat ion mark next to it, first try removing your PC HDTV T uner then plugging it into a different USB 2.0 port on your computer. If the device appears in the “Sound, video and game c ontrol lers” section, it ’s been correctly recognize d by Windows and s hould work. If not , the best thing is to r einstall the software driver by running the “ Setup Dri ver” agai n. If you r un into problems , contact our support team so we can help.
