Time to Begin Program: set to the desired start time. The default time is about 3 minutes from the current time. Click on the hour to set the hour, the minute to set the minute to start the program.

N ote: It is always possible that your TV show will be transmit- ted in advance or late, and it takes about 10 seconds to launch

the WinTV and set up for recording. Please set the Time to Begin Progam few minutes before the time your TV show should starts.

Program Duration: set the duration of this event, using the arrows (steps of 30 minutes) or directly on the keyboard. This will update the Time to End Program window.

Date to Begin: today's date is the default. Change this if you want to schedule on another date.

Program Period: One Time Only, Every day or Weekly are the choic- es. If you select the Weekly option, select the day you would have the show recorded too.

Date to End: If you have selected the Every Day or Weekly option, you can specify the date at which it will stop this task.

Channel selection: choose one of your scanned channels.

Recording options: click on Record to File to record your show. Leave this button unchecked to watch TV at the requested time. You can also name your file to record.

Once these are set, click Set Program. You can add more Events, clicking Set Program after each event is set. When you are finished click Close.

The WinTV program does not have to be running for the scheduler to work, but your PC needs to be either turned on, in Standby or in Hibernate Mode, but you should not be logged off. If WinTV is not running, it takes about 10 seconds to start WinTV and to start the recording of TV.

The scheduled recordings can be viewed and modified through the WinTV-Scheduler. The format of the file name is [Programme title]_[Time]_[Date].mpg

6. VTPlus application

VTPlus for WinTV-NOVA-S-USB2 is a sophisticated analogue Teletext software application which is only available on some DVB-S channels that broadcast teletext data. VTPlus allows you to view multiple tele- text pages, save or print teletext pages and create Dynamic Data Links so that teletext data can be used in other applications.

The WinTV application does not have to be active while the VTPlus teletext application is running. To start the VTPlus application click on the Start / All Programs / VTPlus for WinTV.

N ote: VTPlus uses the channel list of the analogue WinTV for finding the VTPlus information. It is therefore necessary to

scan for channels first in WinTV before starting the VTPlus applica- tion.

7. Installing the Remote Control

The WinTV’s remote control software is installed automatically during the installation of the WinTV applications. The installation will add the shortcut “AutoStart IR” to the Start-up group. If this is not the case, you can manually install the WinTV’s remote control software from the installation CD-ROM / IR32 folder. Double click on IR32.exe.

1.Insert the batteries into the the Infrared Remote control.

2.Ensure the IR icon is on the start bar - IR.exe is loaded when Windows starts only if your WinTV is connected.

N ote: If you don’t see the WinTV Remote icon in the system tray or if you need to reset the remote control application,

select “Restart IR” from the Start / All programs / Hauppauge WinTV directory. You should restart the IR program each time you plug your WinTV – except if it was plugged before Windows start- ed.

Checking the function of the IR Remote

Make sure you see the black remote icon in the system tray (the area next to the clock in the taskbar).

Point the Remote transmitter at the Remote control receiver (the little eye on your WinTV Stick) and press the “Go” button. This should open the “WinTV Remote” menu. Press the “OK” button to start WINTV.EXE or use the “Up” and “Down” arrows on the remote to select another option.

N ote: The WinTV application only responds to the remote con- trol if it is the active window. If the WinTV application is not

the active Window, press the TV button on the remote to bring the WinTV window into the foreground.

N ote: If you have a Windows Media Center PC and you do not

have a Media Center Remote you can use the Hauppauge Remote instead (the remote is not Media Center certified and some functionality may not be available).

Troubleshooting

To uninstall the Driver and Software

To uninstall the software run hcwclear from the installation CD-ROM and select the last 2 options 'remove all WinTV drivers and applicati- ons (total removal)' and 'search all INF files'. If you now select OK a black screen will briefly appear and once it has disappeared the soft- ware will be removed. If you now re-start the computer you will be at Step 3 on page 3 of this document and can now re-install the soft- ware.

TV display has problems (e.g. no picture but with sound or blurred image)

With the WinTV application closed click on the WinTV program group (Start / Programs / Hauppauge WinTV) there is a utility called “Primary”. Within Primary, select a different option from the main list of four items (Allow VMR/Allow Overlay/Force Primary/DIB Draw), close the applica- tion using the X in the top right hand corner then restart the TV pro- gram. Repeat this process for all four options to determine the best option for your computer.

“Error code 10” during installation

This is caused by a failure to load the WinTV-NOVA-S-USB2 drivers. Uninstall the software (as above) and then follow the instructions from page 3. If this still gives you an error message move the WinTV- NOVA-S-USB2 to a different USB port and re-install the drivers again.

Problem: TV display has problems (e.g. no picture but with sound or blurred image)

With the WinTV2000 application closed click on the WinTV program group (Start / Programs / Hauppauge WinTV) there is a utility called “Primary”. Set it to one of the other options and then close using the “X” and re-start the application. If it is still the same try another option.
