Checking the function of WinTV’s IR Remote
WinTV’s Remote application, IR.EXE, is loaded every time Windows is booted. You will see a Remote icon in the device tray. To check the remote control operation, point the Remote transmitter at the Remote control receiver. When you click the TV button on the Remote transmitter, after 3- 4 seconds the Remote icon should flash, indicating that the Remote application is running. After the Remote icon flashes, the WinTV application will be run.

-Use Hauppauge’s Primary program to optimize graphics performance: Primary.exe is used to change the display mode of a graphics card for TV watching. This does not affect any other Windows program.
Primary.exe is found in the Hauppauge WinTV program group. The default mode used by WinTV is Force Primary. Force Primary uses your processor to move the digital TV image into the graphics memory. It is more CPU intensive but often fixes display problems on some lap- tops. Note: Snapshot does not work in ‘Force Primary’ mode.
To use hardware graphics acceleration, close WinTV, then run Primary. Click Allow VMR. Close Primary and rerun WinTV. The Allow VMR setting will allow your graphics system to use hardware acceleration for video decode. Note: hardware acceleration does not work on all systems.
Note: if you have an nVidea graphics card, you can use VMR7.
If this setting does not help, or if you experience WinTV not responding after a channel change, then your graphics system cannot use hardware graphics acceleration.
In this case, run Primary. Click ‘Force Primary’ then rerun WinTV.
Only some channels are found during ATSC channel scan
If you are only receiving some known TV channels when scanning, it means your TV antenna is not adequate to pick up the channel. You will need either an antenna signal booster (a Radio Shack antenna amplifier will work) or a high gain antenna. Here’s a link to an ATSC antenna selec- tor: http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/address.aspx

Some notes on system compatibility
Decoding high definition ATSC TV is very CPU intensive. A graphics card with at least 64MBytes of memory and the latest graphics driver from the manufacturer makes the decoding task easier. Typically a 2.2 GHz Pentium 4 processor or equivalent with a graphics card having 64MBytes of memory is required to properly decode ATSC digital TV on your PC. A 1.6GHz AMD Sempron laptop computer tested in the Hauppauge lab used 50% of the CPU for playing ATSC 640i format, and 90% of the CPU when playing ATSC 1080i, the highest definition ATSC format.
In some cases, either a faster processor or more graphics memory might be required. Slow or jerky video and a noisy TV picture indicate system per- formance problems.
Jerky video with live digital TV
Jerky or distorted video can be caused by two things in your PC or laptop: a slow CPU which cannot decode the ATSC TV signal fast enough, and a graphics system which cannot keep up with the high datarates of ATSC TV.
Many times, improving the performance of the graphics display will fix the jerky video display of ATSC digital TV. Here are some tips on improving graphics performance:
-Use the latest graphics driver: graphics drivers are often ‘tweeked’ to improve performance, especially the
