Notes:

  • For Digital Terrestrial reception, a high gain aerial is recommended. The WinTV-NOVA-TD-500 uses a rooftop aerial for DVB-T reception in the same way that most people currently receive their analogue television programmes. 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-NOVA-T 500 supports DVB-T TV not DVB-T2.
  • To use the WinTV-NOVA-TD-500 for TV with the Windows XP Media Center application a Media Center certified DVD or MPEG-2 software decoder is required.
