Welcome!
We're pleased that you have chosen a TerraTec ReceiverSystem and would like to congratulate
you on this decision. With the TerraTec Cinergy HT Express, you've purchased a sophisticated
product representing the state of the art of PC/TV technology. We're convinced that our product will prove extremely useful to you and provide you with a great deal of entertainment, both
at home and on the road. Before we go into detail, here's a foretaste of what you can expect:
Digital TV to go.
The Cinergy HT Express receives digital and analogue television and turns your computer at
home or in the office into a true entertainment wonder. The installation is a cinch—simply plug
it into the ExpressCard slot, install the software, and connect the TV cable or the supplied
DVB-T mini antenna. And in a flash you're able to view all analogue TV programs available
(cable, antenna) in the transmission area and the digital programs transmitted via DVB-T. The
Cinergy HT Express supports both standards in one device, and therefore has a guaranteed
future.
The supplied TerraTec Home Cinema software is unique—it allows you to control all of the
functions of your Cinergy HT Express. True multi-tuner support guarantees that you can also
combine your new device with other internal cards and external USB boxes from TerraTec to
view a broadcast and record another one at the same time. Recordings can be started manually or via the extensive electronic program guide (EPG – DVB-T only) as well as via the Internet
or a WAP cell phone (including annual subscription from tvtv.de). If necessary, the computer
wakes up at home from standby or the idle state and automatically shuts down again after the
recording. You can even view your recordings before the end of the recording session—timeshift television opens up completely new viewing options. Additional innovations, such as
automatic adjustment of the aspect ratio, recording of Dolby Digital, video text and subtitles,
individually adjustable lists of favourites (genre, location) as well as the integrated advertising
editor Cut! finally make the many advantages of television on the computer to a simple and
convenient experience. And all of the functions can be easily operated via keyboard or mouse.
Thanks for your attention—enjoy!
...your TerraTec Team
