HDTV (High Definition Television) is the highest quality DTV standard. HDTV provides increased picture detail (720p, 1080i) with a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio and higher quality audio such as surround sound, on a display that supports digital TV.

NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) is standard (analog) TV. Standard TV broadcasts an image resolution of about 210,000 pixels and is distributed today through antenna, cable, digital cable, or satellite.

Connecting an ATSC (DTV) antenna

NOTE: Refer to the Start Here booklet for specific instructions on connecting an ATSC antenna. The ATSC connector on the back of the HP Media Center PC is labeled DTV Ant.

You can attach an external roof UHF antenna to connect the HP Media Center PC for watching DTV channels.

You must purchase an indoor or outdoor antenna separately. A UHF antenna will receive NTSC and ATSC channels, depending on the quality of the antenna, geographic location, and broadcast reception strength.

You might have to reposition the antenna for best reception. Position the antenna based on the following general criteria:

Higher is better than lower. The ideal position is above the roofline.

Closer to or facing the broadcast tower is better than farther away or facing away from the broadcast tower.

Larger typically receives stronger signals than smaller.

Outdoor is better than indoor because there is less interference.

Refer to http://www.antennaweb.org for more information about:

The channels available in your area. The channels may be color-coded by zone. Match your antenna to your zone.

Selecting the kind of antenna you need, depending on the channels you want to receive.

What direction to point your antenna.

Positioning an HDTV antenna for best reception.

TV signal source overview

You must have a TV signal connected to the HP Media Center PC for proper operation. The connectors on the back of the PC are Input 1, Input 2, and DTV Ant:

For an NTSC cable TV box, digital cable box, or satellite receiver: use Input 1 or Input 2 (select models only).

For an NTSC analog cable RF coaxial connector: use TV/Cable Ant.

For ATSC high definition DTV Ant connector: use DTV connected to a UHF antenna.

For NTSC dual tuner configurations, both TV sources must be of the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite TV, or antenna. The TV sources must also have the same, identical channel line-up; for example, if you are using two satellite TV sources, they must provide the exact same channels.

All TV viewing and scheduling is provided through the Guide, so both TV sources must have identical television guides.

If you are using the TV/Cable Ant input connector on a dual tuner card to connect an antenna or analog cable, the dual tuner card has an internal cable that connects the signal to both TV tuners inside of the PC.
