Recommended System Requirements Your system must satisfy the following requirements in order for your PCTV 3010iX to function smoothly: Bus System PCI Express Rev. 3.0 Processor Pentium D with 3.
For Your Own Safety If you purchased your PCTV 3010iX together with a PC and it is already installed, skip the next few chapters and continue with the chapter "Connecting the Equipment". In the interest of your own safety and the flawless functioning of your new PCTV 3010iX and computer system, note the following: Computer components are sensitive to static charge. Divert any electrostatic charge from your body before touching the components with your hands or any tools.
Hardware Installation Preparing Installation The only tool you need for the installation is a screwdriver. Divert any possible electrostatic charge from your body by touching the casing of your PC. Turn off your computer and all peripheral devices. Disconnect the computer from the power supply and all necessary components. Loosen the computer cover screws and remove the cover. Select a free PCI Express slot. Remove the slot cover at the back of the computer.
Using PCTV 3010iX Hardware Insert the card into the PCI Express slot. To do so, hold the card at the top and push it down into the slot while applying even pressure at both ends. Press down on the upper edge so that the card fits firmly in the slot. If you cannot easily insert the card into the slot, do not use force since this may bend the contact springs on the socket connector. Instead, remove the card and try to insert it again.

Tips on Positioning the Antenna Take note of the following in order to achieve the best possible digital television reception: Wherever possible, place the antenna in the direction of the nearest transmitter. If you use an indoor antenna, position it near a window, if possible. Try to position any indoor antenna as high as possible (for example, on top of a cupboard). An indoor antenna should not be located near a computer monitor, television or the like.
