Using a TV tuner card, you can watch and record TV programs.

Some models have built-in TV tuner cards. This manual describes their usage assuming your computer has a built-in TV tuner card.

To use the Media Center TV function, you have to connect the TV antenna to the TV tuner card.

If your computer has a built-in TV tuner card, connect the TV antenna cable to the TV Antenna Input port.

There are two types of TV tuner cards, built-in and external types, and they may not support a

Caution recording function depending on the model.

Connecting Devices

If the computer is not connected to the Internet, you cannot use the TV Guide (Channel Information) and

Caution the Online Spotlight functions.
