To install, switch off the computer and remove the computer cover. The manufacturer of your PC supplies instructions on removing the PC cover.
N
ote: Your PC could be damaged by electrostatic discharge.
Avoid this by contacting the earthed chassis of your PC,
before you open it or touch the pci card.
Locate a free PCI slot (a short white slot). Unscrew and remove the
metacover plate which covers the back of the empty slot.
Plug the WinTV-HVR board into the PCI slot, and screw the WinTV
HVR metal cover plate to the PC.
Replace the computer cover.
1. Installing the WinTV-HVR board
You can now connect the leads provided to the WinTV-HVR in the following order. You will only need to connect using the S- Video, Comp Vid In or Line In if you are using a external audio/video source.
FM IN: FM Radio-Antenna TV IN: TV-Antenna S-VIDEO IN: S-Video-Input COMP VID IN: Composite video
Input (RCA) LINE IN: Stereo audio input, from the audio out­put of your source IR: Input for the Infrared sensor
2. Connecting the Aerial and IR cables
Please ensure that you have a suitable TV aerial connected to the WinTV-HVR card. You should then ensure you are located in a area that supports Digital Terrestrial TV by visiting: www.dtg.org.uk/retail- er/coverage.html and entering your post code.
If your area does have digital Terrestrial TV coverage, please check your TV antenna as most antenna’s that are over 8 years old may not support the Digital Terrestrial TV broadcasts and you may need to update yours to a ‘Wideband or Highgain’ antenna.

The WinTV application will remain in view over any other applica-
tions even if it is not selected. To turn on, click the Always on top button. It will turn green. To turn off, click this button again. A convenient way to use Always-on-top is to make the TV window in the no-title mode small, and to make the TV window in the title mode larger. Then you can switch from a small window to a larger one by clicking the right mouse button.
Pref button
Click the Pref button to open the preferences menu: View: These are the settings for the On Screen Display of the TV
channel and Audio Volume, where you can enable Close Captions (if supported in your system configuration), plus controls for the Toolbar mode (Title mode), NoToolbar mode (No Title) and Full Screen (TV mode).

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 will start recording into WinTV's Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be initialized 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 previ­ously 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 ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 seconds behind the live program.
Skip Ahead
Clicking the Skip button will skip the video ahead 10 seconds.
Rewind
Clicking the Rewind button while playing video will rewind the recorded video. Clicking the Rewind button again will continue the playing.
Slow Motion
Clicking the Slow Motion button while playing video will play in Slow Motion. Clicking the Slow Motion button again, will continue playing normally.
Fast Forward
Clicking the Fast Forward button one time will fast forward your video at 2X speed. Clicking the Fast Forward button two times will fast forward your video at 8X speed.
Pause mode
The pause mode allow you to pause the Live TV picture and allows you to use the TimeShift function to rewind and fast forward the TV.
Clicking the Pause button on the WinTV application starts the Pause mode. The Pause Menu will drop down.

Certain digital DVB-T channels, along with their TV programmes, con­tain a TV channel guide. This guide is a listing of the programs being shown for the next 7 days, and includes the TV programme name, programme start times and length. The 7 Day EPG for WinTV extracts TV guide data from a DVB-T channel which contains this data. It cre­ates a database on your computer.
When the Hauppauge 7 Day EPG opens up with its chart of times and TV programs, it reads the EPG database and formats the 7 Day EPG guide window. If you would like to record one of these TV pro­grammes listed in the 7 Day EPG for WinTV window, you simply click the "Record" button and at the correct time your TV show will be recorded on your PC.
