your PowerMac. AlchemyTV™ is a PCI card that should be installed in a free expansion slot of your

PCI slot. Using a small Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the
retaining screw from the PCI expansion slots access panel, then
remove the access panel itself.
2. Align the connector end of the card with the PCI expansion slot
and insert the card. Secure the card with the screw that you
removed in the previous step.

2. Double-click on the ‘’Install AlchemyTV™” icon to launch the installer. Select the hard drive of
your choice and click on ‘Install’. Note that you will be asked for your administrator password when
performing the installation.
3. Once the installation process is finished, restart your Mac.
