The development of digital technologies has led to the fact that you can now watch cable TV through a computer. To do this, you need to purchase special equipment and make some settings.
It is necessary
- - fiber optic cable;
- - subscriber set-top box;
- - TV tuner.
Instructions
Step 1
Purchase a TV tuner and set-top box first. They have two types of signal: digital and analog, which are played through Windows Media Center and become analog only.
Step 2
First, connect the TV tuner and set-top box through a splitter to the network, since all signal sources must be powered. Install a voltage rectifier to eliminate utility power outages. Also install an APS station to prevent emergency shutdown, as this will damage the settings.
Step 3
Connect the cable from the TV tuner or set-top box to the PC running Windows Media Center. When laying the cable, pay attention to its location. Lay it in such a way as to avoid damage. If you have several computers on which you want to watch TV, then you need to connect a TV tuner and a set-top box to each.
Step 4
Now connect the infrared transmitter that comes with the TV tuner to your set-top box and your computer. It also has a remote control. The transmitter will automatically install the necessary drivers. Restart your personal computer for full operation.
Step 5
Go to Start and select Run. Next, find the command "TV signal settings" and program the system for various channels. You will be able to adjust the clarity of the "caught" channel and sound quality. You can also store all channels in memory under the digital values convenient for you.
