Installing the Client-Application 

You only need to install the DistanTV Client on the computer you want to use as 
a client. The DistanTV Client allows you to establish a connection to the server 
computer and to access the channel lists saved there. 
 

To install the program, you need administrator rights. 

 
Install a DistanTV Client as follows:   

ƒ

 

Place the installation disc in the respective drive of the client computer. 

ƒ

 

If the Autorun function is enabled, a welcome window will be automatically 
displayed. 

ƒ

 

In case the auto-run function is not enabled on the client computer, navigate 
to the respective drive and open the file 

Launcher.exe

ƒ

 

Select the option 

DistanTV

 

ƒ

 

Now follow the on-screen instructions, until the installation is completed. 

ƒ

 

Before you exit the installation program, you have the option of starting the 
DistanTV Client.  
To do so, select the option: 

Start DistanTV Client

 

Note that the DistanTV Client application cannot be installed on the server 

computer.
