Q: How long can a Time-Shifting recording be preserved? Why can I not watch previous programs
after switching channels?
A: The recording time limit for using the Time-Shifting function is 30 minutes. This means that only the
contents of the latest 30 minutes will be recorded in the hard disk; the contents prior to the 30-minute
limit will be automatically erased to allow normal Time-Shifting operations. At least 1GB free hard
disk space is recommended for the Time-Shifting function. The Time-Shifting function can only record
the contents of the channel that you are currently watching. Once you switch to another channel,
the previously recorded contents will be erased and the current contents will be recorded.
Q: Why does signal delay happen in recorded programs?
A: Please make sure the computer meets the system requirements. Do not use processor resources
during recording. This TV card uses codec technology and will occupy some processor resource.
Q: Why can I not find any information in EPG? Why does EPG not display correctly?
A: EPG is only available when the information is provided by your digital TV service provider. No
EPG available indicates tat your service provider does not provide EPG information. Incorrect
EPG display may be caused by poor signal reception. Adjust the antenna location and try again.
Q: Why can I not wake up the computer with the remote control after entering the Standby mode?
A: To wake up the computer from the Standby mode, press and hold the power button on the remote
control for 1 second. It may take 5~10 seconds (depending on the computer status) for the
computer to wake up from the Standby mode. In addition, please make sure that the ACPI power
management of your computer BIOS is set to S1 mode for the remote control, keyboard or mouse
to wake up the computer from the Standby mode. If the setting is S3 mode, you can only wake up
the computer from the Standby mode by pressing the power button of the computer.
Q: Can this TV card be used in multiple countries?
A: GIGABYTE's Digital Theater Hybrid TV Card supports worldwide analog systems (NTSC/PAL/
SECAM), so it can be used in multiple countries. For digital TV, DVB-T is currently the most
popular standard, so this TV card can be used in most countries where the DVB-T digital broad-
casting is available. To find out which countries support the DVB-T digital broadcasting, visit the
website at www.dvb.org or the country-specific digital TV development website.
Q: Can I connect my computer to other display devices to watch TV?
A: Please make sure that the output of your graphics card supports the corresponding display device.
The specifications of the graphics card affect the connection.
