This section lists some suggestions for improving system performance with USB2TVTUNER.
• Close all other programs while using the TV tuner. Running other software while using the TV
tuner may reduce performance. Close all other applications, and make sure that software that
runs in the background (i.e. anti-virus software) is closed to allocate the necessary resources to
the TV Tuner application.
• Ensure that your computer supports USB 2.0. The software will display a warning if you plug the
TV tuner into a USB 1.1 port, and it will not function at all or with diminished performance. If you
are unsure whether your computer has USB 2.0 ports, consult your documentation for more
information.
• Apply all software updates available for Windows and your computer’s BIOS software, along with
chipset and video card drivers, if available.
• Ensure that the correct drivers for your computer’s USB 2.0 ports are installed and functioning
correctly.
• Capturing and viewing video at a lower resolution may improve video flow.
• If you are not hearing sound, ensure you have the correct audio device selected in the
Setting
menu.
• Installing RAM and a faster hard drive (7200 RPM or higher) may improve the quality of captured
video.
• If you can preview video but not capture it, try turning off/reducing the hardware acceleration
settings on your video card by going to
Settings > Control Panel > Display > Settings >
Advanced > Performance
.
