Notes:

  • The WinTV-HVR-900 includes a portable digital terrestrial antenna, which can be used when traveling (dependant on reception). When used in the home or office, we recommend a high gain roof top digital antenna. Some viewers will need to replace their aerials to receive digital transmissions if the installation is old or in poor condition. Digital Terrestrial coverage is improving all the time as digital terrestrial television transmitters are continuously being updated. However it may take some time for coverage to reach particular areas of the country. To check if you receive a digital transmission in your area, input your Post Code at: http://www.digitaluk.co.uk/
  • DVB-T Radio is not DAB Radio.
  • The WinTV-HVR-900 supports DVB-T TV not DVB-T2.
  • To use the WinTV-HVR-900 for TV with the Windows XP Media Center application a Media Center certified DVD or MPEG-2 software decoder is required.
