1. Contents of the WinTV-HVR-950
package

Turn on your Windows XP PC or laptop, and boot into
Windows.

Locate a free USB 2.0 port (normally located at the side or
back on the laptop or desktop). Plug the WinTV-HVR-950
stick into the USB 2.0 port. You can use a USB extender
cable to locate the WinTV-HVR-950 a short distance from
your USB slot.

Note: if you plug the device into a different USB socket,
you will need to reinstall the WinTV-HVR-950 driver, but you
will not need to reload any WinTV applications.

Note: Due to power and bandwidth requirements, we do
not recommend connecting WinTV-HVR into a USB Hub.

Plug an antenna for ATSC digital TV reception, or either
cable TV or a TV antenna for analog TV reception, into the
TV connector on WinTV-HVR-950. It is recommended to
connect to a roof top aerial during the first time installation.
This will provide better signal quality then the provided
portable antenna.

3. Installing the WinTV-HVR-950 device

ATSC digital TV is a over-the-air digital TV for North
America. ATSC digital TV typically requires an antenna for
reception, and is currently broadcast in 200 cities, with over
1500 TV stations. Note: ATSC digital TV is NOT digital
cable TV or digital satellite TV. The WinTV-HVR-950 cannot
receive digital cable TV or digital satellite TV.

ATSC digital TV is transmitted in several resolutions, from
“standard definition” which is similar to cable TV, up to high
definition which has about 16 times the resolution of normal
cable TV. In any resolution, ATSC digital TV gives sharper
pictures than analog cable TV and near CD quality sound.

WinTV-HVR-950 has a built-in analog cable TV and digital
ATSC TV tuner. It uses your PC or laptop’s CPU for displaying
both analog and digital TV programs on your PC screen.

The decoding of high definition ATSC is very processor
intensive, and the smoothness of high definition TV pro-
grams depends upon how fast your PC or laptop system is.
Other PC activities that consume CPU resources might
affect the display of ATSC digital TV. Slow video, jerky video
and momentary pausing of video are all results of a CPU
which is temporarily being used by other activities.

2. What is ATSC digital TV, and how does
the WinTV-HVR-950 work?

N

ote: the latest WinTV-HVR-950 software can be found at
www.hauppauge.com/pages/support/support_hvr950.html

N

ote: You may need to disable your antivirus programs during the
installation only.

Installing the WinTV-HVR-950 Windows XP driver

Turn on your PC. When it is completely booted, the Found
New Hardware Wizard will appear. Insert the Hauppauge
Installation CD-ROM into
your CD-ROM drive.

Select No, not at this
time.

Click

Next

.

Select Install software
automatically.

Click

Next

.

4. Installing the WinTV-HVR-950 driver

Once the driver component is installed, click the

Finish

but-

ton.

In Windows XP: Click

Start / Run

then type your CD-

ROM drive letter (for example: D:) and then

Setup.exe

In Vista: Click the

Start button,

then click

Computer,

(you can find

Computer

halfway down the right hand col-

umn) then locate your CD-ROM drive. You should see the
contents of the WinTV Installation CD. Double click on

Setup.

Choose a language, and click

Next

. Click

Install

. The

Setup program will automatically install all necessary WinTV
software.

Once the installation procedure is finished you will see the
WinTV2000 Icon on your
Desktop. It is also listed in
the Start menu under the
Program files and
Hauppauge WinTV folder.

The main applications
installed are the WinTV2000
application for TV watching
and recording, and the
WinTV Scheduler for schedul-
ing your TV recordings.

5. WinTV Software Installation

To start the WinTV 2000 application, double click on the
WinTV 2000 icon on your desk top. When you run
WinTV2000 for the first time, a message says Would you
like to scan for channels now? Click

YES

.

Click the

Scan

button and WinTV2000 will automatically

scan for both analog and ATSC digital TV channels. The
scanning process takes about 10 minutes. The scanning
process for ATSC will scan from channels 2 to 68.

The ATSC digital channels that are found will appear in the
channel listing box. The Name is the name as defined by
the broadcaster. The Channel number is created by the
WinTV application. For ATSC digital channels, since each
primary channel might have several subchannels, the chan-
nel number is calculated so that channel 22.2 would be list-
ed as 1222. Channel 7.2 would be listed as 1072.

Note: if you have attached an antenna and do not receive
any ATSC digital TV channels, either use a stronger anten-
na (a roof top antenna is recommended for best reception)
or reposition your portable antenna. Then rescan for ATSC
channels (see below for instructions on rescanning and the
Troubleshooting section for information on choosing an
ATSC antenna).

Note: When initially installed, WinTV-HVR-950 uses a set-
ting which does not take advantage of graphics accelera-
tion. If you experience problems when watching ATSC digi-
tal TV channels, see the Troubleshooting section.

The supplied portable antenna is designed primarily for
ATSC digital TV reception, and will work within 10 miles of
an ATSC transmitter (reception might be limited by obstruc-
tions such as steel buildings).

For the best ATSC digital TV reception, a roof top
‘Wideband or Highgain’ antenna is recommended. In the
U.S., a good ATSC digital antenna selector can be found at
TitanTV.com under Resources.
