captured 16:9 TV shows or video files?

Yes.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

1. Cannot watch TV

Make sure if you have installed your TV tuner driver properly.
You can check if your TV tuner driver is available within
Windows from "Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Device." If
not, verify that your hardware is installed properly with the
hardware vendor documentation.

2. TV is not smooth

Verify that your system meets the minimum requirements and
is configured properly-see question 1 in the FAQ section for
configuration assistance. Also, make sure there are no other
applications running in the background.

3. No Audio

Some TV tuners have audio output, but you usually need to
plug the audio output into your PC audio line-in to enable your
audio. If this is not the case, when you select the audio device
from TV Settings, you can try selecting different audio inputs.
