Digital TV Broadcast Signal
The antenna is the most crucial factor in receiving a clear digital terrestrial TV broadcast signal. The
passive
antenna
provided should provide a clear signal when placed beside a window. If the signal is not clear then you can purchase
an
active
antenna (it should also be placed beside a window) to improve the signal. You should also check with any
related government website which provides information on digital terrestrial TV coverage for your area. Note that
(unlike standard analog TV) if the digital signal is weak then no picture will appear on the TV at all.
TV Recording and Power Plans
If you intend to use the
optional
TV Tuner to record live TV, then go to the
Power Options
control panel and create
a power plan to prevent the power saving options from adjusting the computer’s performance level.
Remote Control Unit
The remote control unit allows you to remotely start and send the system into a power saving state, to run
Windows
Media Center
and to navigate the
Media Center
menus etc. The remote control unit also gives full control over all
TV and video functions.
