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.

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.
