Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI!
The PCTV Dual DVB-T Pro PCI gives you two DVB-T tuners on a single PCI
card – and you only need one antenna for it. Depending on the software you are
using, this means you can watch or record two channels simultaneously.
DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial), digital terrestrial TV, offers a
wide selection of channels with excellent image and sound quality, without
requiring a satellite dish or cable connection.
Additional services planned for the future include digital radio, interactive TV,
and IP data reception. Some of these services are already available in selected
areas. More information about DVB-T can be found on the Internet, for
example, at
