Connect the rod antenna contained in the package or your building antenna to the antenna input on the
PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick BEFORE inserting the stick into the computer.
To connect a building antenna, you need the corresponding cable. Note that the quality of the cable
has a great influence on the quality of the reception.
Note: If you would like to use the rod antenna included in the package, place it as high as possible
and as close as possible to the window. Reception is dependent on location and can be affected
by thick or steel-reinforced walls as well as neighboring buildings. In such environments, an
outdoor/roof antenna is required. Mobile reception of DVB-T, for example, in a car or train, is
generally not possible. In order to prevent possible damage from the magnetic field from the
antenna foot, make sure that there is enough space between it and your hard drives and other
magnetically-sensitive components.
Connecting to Your Computer for the First Time (See Figure II)
When you first install the PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick, it checks whether all required drivers are available,
and, for Windows XP, whether the .NET 2.0 Framework is already on your computer. If not, it installs
these as necessary. After the initial startup, every time you start the program, a TV screen appears
immediately on your desktop.
Drives on the PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick
The integrated memory on the PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick is divided into 2 different areas ("drives"):
A re-writable memory area (removable media area) with the TVCenter Pro program and
available memory for recorded shows or other user data. This drive is labeled PCTV Flash.
A read-only memory area (CD-ROM area) contains the drivers. This drive is labeled
PCTV DVB-T Start.

Installing the Drivers

You must have administrator rights to install the drivers. Therefore, log onto the system as
administrator before starting the PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick for the first time.
Insert the PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick in an available USB 2.0 connection on your computer.
If necessary, use the USB extension cable contained in the package.
If, during installation, the system dialog window Assistant for new hardware appears, cancel it.
Windows XP: The TVCenter Pro program starts automatically, as soon as you connect the
PCTV DVB-T Flash Stick to your computer.
If the AutoPlay function on your computer is disabled, manually start the TVCenterPro.exe program
by double-clicking the program icon on the PCTV DVB-T Start drive on the stick.
Windows Vista: An AutoPlay window is now displayed for each of the two drives on the stick.
Caution: At first, the two windows might overlap each other. If necessary, use your mouse to drag
the windows to a better position.
In the PCTV DVB-T Start drive window, select the TVCenterPro.exe program.
If the AutoPlay function on your computer is disabled, manually start the TVCenterPro.exe program
by double-clicking the program icon on the PCTV DVB-T Start drive on the stick.
Now follow the instructions on the screen.
