Set-up and Use
Connection to an Antenna or to the Cable (see Figure I)
Connect the rod antenna supplied, your house antenna or your cable connection to the
PCTV™ Quatro Stick antenna input BEFORE the stick is connected to the computer.
To connect a house antenna or the cable connection you require the appropriate cable. Please note
that the quality of the cable has a significant effect on reception.
Please note:
encrypted channels cannot be received with this product.
Please note that support for digital cable reception (DVB-C standard) is not possible in all regions and
cable networks. We aim to continually improve support for DVB-C in the course of further technical
product development. Please ensure that you always keep your TVCenter Pro software up to date.
Please note:
if you use the rod antenna supplied, please position it as high and as close to the window
as possible. The reception depends on the location and can be affected by thick or steel-reinforced
walls and also neighbouring buildings. An external or roof antenna is required in such environments.
Mobile DVB-T reception, e.g. in the car or train, is not generally possible.
In order to prevent possible damage caused by the antenna foot’s magnetic field, please ensure that an
adequate distance to hard disks and other magnetically sensitive components is maintained.
Connection to your Computer (see Figure II)
Please connect the Pinnacle PCTV™ Quatro Stick to a USB 2.0 port of your computer.
