WinTV software updates can be found at:
http://www.hauppauge.com/html/98_sw.htm.
- Incompatible motherboards
We recommend the use of a motherboard with an Intel chipset because some older moth-
erboards do not fully support the WinTV .We have software updates on our web site which
will fix incompatibilities found with several VIA and SIS-based motherboards. Please see
http://www.hauppauge.com/html/sw_wcst.htm
in the
Tips section.
- Poor image when running WinTV in 256-color mode
Many VGA’s cannot run WinTV in 256-color mode. Instead, run in 16-bit or 24-bit color mode.
- No TV audio from your PC’s Left and Right speaker
Be sure your PC’s audio mixer
LineIn
setting is not muted, and at a reasonable volume level.
If the
LineIn
setting is not muted, you can verify that the WinTV card is working by connect-
ing self-amplified speakers directly to the
A/V cable’s
1/8” miniplug. Use the supplied
Adapter
if necessary.
- System lockups or error messages when running WinTV2000
Some VGA cards have memory conflicts with WinTV. To fix this, try switching PCI slots.
Also, you can increase the memory range used by the WinTV board in
Device
Manager
. To do this, look under
Sound, video and game controllers,
double click
on the
Hauppauge video section
, click on
Resources
, unclick
Use Automatic
settings
and double click on
Memory range
. In the
Edit memory range
dialog box,
there are small up/down arrows next to
Value
. Click the little
up arrow
a couple of times.
Make sure there are no conflicts. Then click
OK
and then
OK
again. When it says
Creat-
ed a forced configuration
, click
Yes.
Then reboot your PC.
- Poor TV Reception or Not detecting all channels
:
Poor TV reception is generally the result of an insufficiently strong TV signal. When using a
'roof-top' antenna, an aerial booster may be required. If you find that some or all of the chan-
nels have not been detected, you can insert channels manually.

Step 7: WinTV Software installation
Step 10: Configuring Surround Sound audio
Digital TV is broadcast over the airwaves. To receive Digital TV, a rooftop antenna is recom-
mended in most areas of the U.S. In cities, a bowtie antenna can often be used if positioned
near a window facing the Digital TV broadcaster.
Since Digital TV is broadcast over the air, it is necessary to position the antenna to point at
the Digital TV transmitter. We have included a utility in the WinTV application to help position
the TV antenna.
To position the Digital TV antenna, do the following:
•
Use the supplied list of Digital TV stations to find a Digital TV channel which you know
broadcasts in your area. For example, in Cleveland,
WKYC broadcasts Digital TV on channel 2.
•
Open the
Channel Suite Manager
. To do this,
click on the
Suite
button on WinTV2000, or click
on
Configure/Channels/SuiteManager
on the
WinTV32 application. Then double click on
Input
Sources
. Click on
Tuner
to see the
Digital TV
antenna
configuration.
•
Then click
Add
. Enter the Digital TV
Channel
Number
(for example: 2 for WKYC in Cleveland)
and the
Channel Name
. Make sure
Broadcast
is set to
Antenna
, and that
Tuner Format
is set
to
DTV-ATSC
. Click
Add
and then
OK
.
•
Now, to get the diagnostics menu to help orient your Digital TV antenna, hold the
CTRL
button on your keyboard down while clicking the
right
mouse
button
.
Keep the
right mouse
button
depressed
for a few
seconds,
and you’ll see a menu pop up. Click on the
last line,
Diagnostics
.
•
Now slowly rotate your antenna until
the
Sync Lock
and
Eq. Lock
lights
turn
green. This indicates that the DTV
antenna is pointed to the DTV transmitter.
Step 9: Tuning Digital TV channels
Scanning for channels
When running WinTV2000 for the first time, you
will need to scan for your TV channels. The
WinTV-D board has two coax video connectors:
a
Digital TV antenna connector
and a
cable TV connector
. You will need to scan
for TV channels on each connector.
When scanning the
Digital TV antenna
, set
the
Tuner Format
to
DTV-ATSC
. Make sure
the
Broadcast
entry is set to
Antenna
.
When scanning the
cable TV connector
, set
the
Tuner Format
to
MN
. Make sure the
Broadcast
entry is set to
CableTV
.
Configuring Sur-
round sound
For a basic two speaker
system, click on
2
Spkr (L,R)
. To get
enhanced audio, click
on
Virtual Dolby
Mode,
then adjust the
3D-Effect, Reverb
and Spatial
for pleas-
ing results.
For a three speaker
system, (connect per the instructions in
Step 3b)
click on
3 Spkr (L,R,C) Dolby 3
Stereo
.
For a 4 or 5 speaker system, click on
4/5 Spkr (L,R,C,S) Dolby Pro Logic
.
Setting up the channels
After you have scanned for channels, you
can add the channel names. To do this,
click on the
Suite
button on WinTV2000,
or click on
Configure/Channels/Suit-
eManager
on the WinTV32 application.
Then double click on
Input Sources
.
Chose Tuner for the
Digital TV anten-
na
, or Tuner2 for
cable TV
. Click on the
desired channel, then click on
Edit
.
Change the
ChannelName
to the
name of the station. Then click
OK.
