Watching and Recording TV with WinDVR
Opening WinDVR
To open WinDVR, double-click the InterVideo WinDVR
icon (shown at right) on your desktop, or press the Power
button on your remote control. The Display Window and
Control Panel appear.
Note: The Power button on the remote control opens the
WinDVR software. It does not power on your computer.
The Display Window is where you view live or captured TV
programs. You can move and resize the window to suit your needs.
The Display Window may show static until an available channel is
selected.
The Control Panel (shown on page 22) is similar to a standard VCR
control panel. Use the Control Panel to watch live or recorded TV.
Open the Panel Menu to change such WinDVR settings as the sleep
timer, the parental control feature, and tuner input mode.
Completing the Initial Setup
The first time you open WinDVR after installation, a wizard opens
to walk you through the initial setup. Follow the on-screen
instructions to configure the software to meet your specific needs:
1 In the Device window:
■ For Device, select Adaptec PCI Capture Device.
■ For Source, select TV.
■ Do not adjust the Standard setting. WinDVR will
automatically adjust it to match the geographical area you
choose in Step 2.
2 In the TV window:
■ For Tuner, select Antenna if you are using an antenna;
otherwise, select Cable.
■ For Country or Region, select your geographical location.
WinDVR uses this information to set the device standard,
and provide TV programming schedules for your location
through an electronic program guide (EPG).
