Introduction 

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a PCTV 60e! 
 
PCTV 60e makes it possible to receive digital terrestrial television in accordance 
with the DVB-T standard (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial) and with 
excellent picture quality on your laptop and desktop PC. The PCTV 60e offers 
you a unique DVB-T receiver for USB. 
The PCTV 60e has optimized reception and functions independently of the 
power supply. This makes it the ideal mobile solution for digital television 
reception on your laptop computer. 
 
In addition to Live-TV, PCTV 60e also makes time delay television (Timeshift) 
available, as well as giving you the ability to record shows on your hard disk and 
on writable DVDs - without any compromise in sound or image quality. 
You also get access to the free information services, videotext and the electronic 
program guide (EPG), which let you program the shows you want to record 
simply and easily.  
Additional services planned for the future include digital radio, interactive 
television, and IP data reception. Some of these services are already available in 
selected areas.  
 

Depending on the version of your product, package contents may vary. 

 

 
And now have fun with your PCTV 60e!
