Typhoon TV PVR Universal Article No: 50670
FAQ Q: During the initial TV channel scanning just after installation, why does the scanning stop halfway?
A: Basically, there are 2 possibilities. a) Due to poor signals through the antenna – Ensure that the antenna
cable is directly from the main point and not using a splitter, b) the USB ports do not have sufficient power –
connect the TV PVR to the system main USB ports and not through USB Hubs. For the same reason, it is
why that the system requirements are set high. Newer mainboards can support up to 8 USB ports. Older
mainboards can only support 2 or 4 USB ports. For Notebooks, the requirements are even stricter. The
Notebook should be of Intel® Pentium® IV class to ensure that the mainboards used are the latest.
Q: Why do you need two USB interfaces for the TV PVR Universal?
A: For desktops of new generation mainboards do not require two of the USB plugs to be used, just the main
connector is sufficient. This is because USB 2.0 ports on newer mainboards are 100% compliance to the USB
2.0 specifications. Older mainboards might claim to support USB 2.0 ports but in reality, they were released
before the USB 2.0 specifications really come to effect. The main issue is due to the USB 2.0 port providing
the correct amount of power to the TV PVR Universal. For Notebooks, most of these ports do not match the
requirements, so two of the connectors must be inserted to ensure enough power to the TV PVR Universal.
