DVB-T Antenna

Connect to PC or

Note:

In order to receive signal from remote control

If the DVB-T antenna is placed as shown on the diagram above, a difficulty in
trying to receive signals from the remote control will occur. To overcome this
problem:

1. Place a barrier (such as a board, book, etc.) at the back of the antenna to
facilitate receiving of Infrared signal from the remote control.

2. Or, connect the DVB-T antenna to the USB 2.0 extension cable that comes
with the package. Now you can move the antenna to the right side of the PC to
facilitate receiving of Infrared signal from the remote control. Take note that the
receiving point of the antenna must point towards the users, and the antenna
must be placed in the front, not at back of the PC.

If you find the signal reception not good, please adjust the
position of the antenna. In general, the closer the antenna is to
the window, the stronger the signal reception will become. If that
still does not work, we recommend you to replace the antenna
with one that has stronger signal reception.

system. For remote control to work properly, reinstall the WinFast DTV Dongle
