Installation

3. Installation

The following sections provide step-by-step instructions on installing and configuring
the card, accessories and software.

3.1 DirectX

Before installing your the TV@nywhere Duo, it is necessary to install DirectX 9.0c or
higher. Insert the installation CD and an installation menu should load automatically.

If the Autostart program does not
appear automatically when you insert
your Installation CD, start it manually
by running the InstallCD.exe file
located on the Installation CD, or by
clicking the Start button, choosing
Run…, and typing in D:\InstallCD.exe.
(if D: is your CD-ROM drive)

Click on DirectX and follow the
prompts to install DirectX. After
the installation is completed, shut
down the computer.

5

Installation

3.2 Installing the TV@nywhere Duo

1. Switch off your PC and all connected peripheral devices such as your printer and
monitor. Leave the AC power cable connected for the time being, so that your
computer is still grounded.

2. Touch the metal chassis at the rear of the PC to ground and to discharge static.
Now unplug the cord from the AC power socket.

3. Remove the cover from the case of your PC.

4. Look for a free PCI expansion slot. When selecting the PCI slot, note that DVB-T
cards should not be plugged into PCI slot 1 in conjunction with an AGP graphics
card because PCI slot 1 is very frequently assigned to the same interrupts as the
AGP slot. This would give both cards the same interrupt, which can lead to crashes
during operation!
(This is usually the PCI slot closest to the AGP slot, but always check your
mainboard manual).

5. Carefully remove the card from its packaging and pick it up by the edges with one
hand while your other hand is touching a metal part of the PC. This will ensure that
your body is completely discharged via your computer without damaging the TV
card.

6. Align the holder at the rear of the TV card in the expansion slot in such a way that
the card’s connectors are directly in line with the slot’s socket.

7. Push the TV card firmly into the slot, ensuring good contact.

8. Fasten the TV card with an appropriate screw.

9. Reinstall the cover of your PC case.

10. Connect the antenna cable (which you would normally connect to the antenna
input terminal on your television) to the TV antenna terminal on the TV card.
Reconnect the AC power cable as well as all other cables. Make sure that your
speakers are set to low volume.

Installation

3.3 Driver Installation for Windows 2000 / Windows XP

place the Installation CD into your
CD-ROM drive.

Select Install from a list or
specific location (Advanced) and
click Next.

Now select Search for the best
driver in these locations, make
sure “Search removable media is
checked, and click Next.

Windows will now find the drivers on
the Installation CD and install them
automatically. After installing the
driver, Windows will inform you that
it has done so successfully. Click
Finish.
