Watching TV

Your computer may have an integrated TV tuner (select models only), or you may have an optional external TV tuner. A TV tuner enables you to watch, record, and pause live TV on the computer. In addition, if your computer includes an integrated TV tuner, then two remote controls are included in the box with the computer.

●HP Mobile Remote Control—Provides remote control of some features such as audio and video disc playback and can be stored in the Express Card slot.

●HP Media Remote Control—Provides more comprehensive remote control of features such as viewing TV and is larger than the HP Mobile Remote Control.

Before you can watch TV on the computer, be sure that you have set up the TV tuner according to the instructions provided in the printed Notebook Essentials guide included with the computer or in the user guide included with your optional external TV tuner.

You can view TV in QuickPlay TV mode, using a TV tuner or live streaming over the Internet. You can also schedule recordings and view recorded TV shows on your computer.

NOTE: Some features of QuickPlay TV mode, such as Internet streaming, may not be available in all regions and may also require additional hardware or services, such as a high-speed Internet connection.

QuickPlay TV mode supports the following options:

●Slingbox—Plays current TV broadcasts from your home TV.

●EPG—Displays the EPG (electronic program guide).

●Live TV—Plays live TV broadcasts.

●Recorded TV—Displays programs recorded from the TV.

●Schedule—Displays all current recording schedules.
