The WinTV program does not have to be running for the Schedular to
work, but your PC needs to be either turned on, in Standby or in
Hibernate Mode, but you should not be logged off. If WinTV is not

recording of TV.
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.

3. Viewing the EPG information
From the EPG application window, click 'View EPG' this will open a
web page showing the EPG information, initially the application will
need to scan and update the EPG information. The amount of time it
takes to read the data is related to the number of channels in your
DVB-T transmission area. The more channels, the longer it takes to
read all of the data, this may take several minutes:

necessary to scan for channels first in WinTV before starting the
VTplus application. It is not possible at this time to receive Digital
Teletext (MHEG / BBCi) for DVB-T in the UK.

Only some channels are found during DVB-T channel
scan
Check if there are transmitter works on your local transmitter here:
www.bbc.co.uk/reception/transmitters/today.shtml as this could
effect the reception of certain channel.
Adding a TV channel manually
If the scan did not succeed, you can add a channel manually by entering the LCN number for your local transmitter. Enter your post code in
this link: www.wolfbane.com/cgi-bin/tvd.exe? to be presented with
information on your local transmitters.
N

with a H in the 'Pol' column. You need to write down the LCN
numbers.
Troubleshooting
In the WinTV Channel Manager, click on Sources then DVB-T Source,
enter the LCN numbers into the space under Channel Number and
click on the Tune button. The channel number will then be scanned
and any channels found will be listed in the channel list below.
TV display has problems (e.g. no picture but with
