Notes

• DMB-T or Analogue TV reception requires a TV aerial (a high gain rooftop aerial is recommended). If you have a cable or satellite TV box, you can use the included “IR blaster” to control the box for channel changing.
• For Digital Terrestrial reception, some viewers may need to replace their aerials if the installation is old or in poor condition. Digital Terrestrial coverage is improving all the time as digital terrestrial television transmitters are continuously being updated. However it may take some time for full coverage to reach particular areas of the country.
• An Internet connection is required for the Windows Media Center EPG service.
• The WinTV-NOVA / WinTV-HVR uses a rooftop antenna in the same way that most people currently receive their analogue television programmes. Digital Terrestrial coverage is improving all the time as digital terrestrial television transmitters are continuously being deployed.
• For optimal reception of DMB-T channels with any indoor antenna (DMB-t compatible), you have to be in a location with minimum disturbance on the DMB-T signal.
• Hauppauge also reserves the right to make improvements and/or changes to the product, programmes and/or specifications described in the above information at any time without notice.
