Frequently Asked Questions
Sometimes we get questions about our product. Here are the
questions that we get asked the most. Hopefully this information will
be useful to you.
How can I optimize the PVR performance?
PVR performance depends on the computer system. The
following steps can help to make things better.
1. Try to retain as much free hard disk space as possible.
2. Use a faster hard disk drive. (7,200 rpm or higher.)
3. Disable Power Management in the BIOS.
4. Close unnecessary programs, and do not run other
programs while recording.
5. Use the defragment tool to optimize the hard disk.
6. Make sure your system meets the PVR minimum
requirements.
a. Use a USB 2.0 port since some TV tuner devices won't
work with the older USB 1.1 ports. You may need to
purchase a USB 2.0 PCI card or card bus. If the USB
port is version 1.0 or 1.1, a message will ask you to
connect to a Hi-Speed USB 2.0 port when you plug the
USB device into the system.
b. PVR requires at least a Pentium III, 800 MHz CPU or
better for the preview function, and requires at least a
Pentium 4, 2.0 GHz CPU or better for recording and
time-shifting functions.
