WARNING: Please read “Additional Safety Information” in the Limited Warranty, Support, and System Recovery Guide before installing and connecting your HP TouchSmart PC to the electrical power system.

To connect a TV signal to the computer, your computer needs a TV tuner, which is included with select models only. You also may need to purchase some cables separately.

Your TV tuner requires that you use a TV tuner isolator (adapter) (purchased separately) with your computer to connect a coaxial cable to the TV signal source. Using the TV tuner adapter helps prevent personal injury and computer damage from surges on the coaxial line caused by lightning.
