Please ensure that Windows XP or Windows Vista is correctly
installed and started before connecting the WinTV-NOVA-TD Stick to
your computers USB 2.0 port.  Due to power and bandwidth require-
ment, we do not recommend connecting the unit into a USB Hub.

To install, locate a free USB 2.0 port (normally located at the side or
back on the computer). Plug the WinTV-NOVA-TD stick into the USB
2.0 port. You can use a USB extender cable to locate the WinTV-
NOVA-TD a short distance from the USB slot.

N

ote: if you plug the device into a different USB socket, you

will need to reinstall the WinTV-NOVA-TD driver, but you
will not need to reload any WinTV applications.

1. Connecting the WinTV-NOVA-TD

It is recommended to connect to
a roof top aerial during the first
time installation as this may pro-
vide a better signal quality then
the provided portable antenna.
You will need to ensure that you
are located in a area that has
Digital Terrestrial coverage.
Please visit 

www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/coverage.html

The WinTV-NOVA-TD adopts the revolutionary Diversity technology
which enormously improves mobile reception sensitivity when used
with indoor antenna reception or while on the move.

2. Connecting the Aerial

When you run WinTV for the first
time, a message  will appear ask-
ing you to scan for tuner chan-
nels now; please ensure that the
TV antenna is connected, click

YES

.

To start the WinTV application double click on the 

WinTV icon

.

4. New WinTV

®

DVB-T channel is found, the 

Signal Status

will show a quality level

and the 

locked box

will be checked. The DVB-T digital channels that

are found will appear in the channel listing box.

N

ote: If you have attached an antenna and do not receive any
digital TV channels, either use a stronger antenna (a roof
top antenna is recommended for best reception) or try to

add a TV channel manually.

Click 

Close

when finished.

Pause Buffer

The Pause buffer is space on your hard disk where video is stored
during the Pause mode. The maximum amount of time which your TV
program can be delayed is dependent upon how much storage space
you have set for the Pause buffer.

Clicking the 

Pause

button makes WinTV to start recording into WinTV's

Replay Buffer. It takes about 10 seconds for the Replay Buffer to be ini-
tialized and for Pause to become effective.

Unclicking the Pause button will cause the audio/video program to
start playing from the point where the button was originally pushed.

Most WinTV functions are active while in the Pause or Pause Live
mode. For example, you can change volume, resize the TV window,
go into "no-title mode", etc.

While in Pause mode, the Video Position bar shows the amount of the
Replay Buffer which is filled with video. For example, if the Video
Position indicator shows halfway, it means that half of the Replay
Buffer is filled. If you find you cannot Pause as many minutes as you
would like, increase the size of the Replay Buffer.

While in Pause mode, the A/V stream is always saved in the Replay
Buffer. To stop saving the A/V stream in the Replay Buffer, you must
exit the Pause mode by clicking 

TV mode

.

Replay

While in the Pause mode, hitting the 

Replay

button acts like the

Instant Replay you see on TV broadcast sporting events: the
audio/video goes back in time and you repeat what you have previ-
ously seen. Each click of the Replay button causes audio/video to go
back 10 seconds. For example, if you want to repeat the audio/video
you saw 10 seconds ago, you would click the Replay button once. If
you want to see the video you saw one minute ago, you would need
to click the Replay button six times.

For extended replay times, you might find it more convenient to grab
the Video Position indicator control bar and move it to the left. Once
you let the control bar go, audio/video starts to play (it might take a
few seconds for the WinTV application to start playing).

You might have to move the Video Position indicator to the left and
right to find the desired spot to start replaying audio/video.

While Replaying, your audio/video program continues to be recorded
in the Replay Buffer. Therefore, if you have clicked the Replay button 3
times (so that you are replaying the audio/video seen 30 seconds
ago), the video you see in the WinTV window will be 30 seconds
behind the live program.
