1.  First insert the Express TV tuner card in Notebook’s Express slot.

2.  Then connect the Infrared receiver of the TV tuner card to the Notebook’s USB ports.

3.  Then Connect the AVI cable set to the TV tuner card and Connect another side of the cables to your TV Setup box.

You can also connect the Antenna provided along with the TV tuner card. It can receive

the Free Analog/Digital TV channels. It can’t receive the paid TV channels. However,

Connecting setup box cables is essential to the TV tuner card in order to watch TV programs. It is almost impossible to watch TV programs just with the Antenna provided

with this TV tuner card. So, make sure that you connect the setup box cables to the TV

tuner card to watch the TV programs on the notebook.

Few FAQ:

1.  Is it possible to watch TV programs without connecting any kind of cables

and by connecting Antenna only?

Ans: No. It is not possible. You need to connect the Setup box cables to the TV

tuner card.

2.  Is it possible to use Remote controller without connecting the Infrared

receiver for the Remote?

Ans: No. It is not possible. Connecting the infrared receive is must if you want to

use the TV tuner card remote.
