Crutchfield's Choosing and Installing an Antenna for HDTV provides a useful introduction to ATSC along with links to help rural users tune in distant ATSC (HDTV) signals.įollow the manufacturer's installation guidelines for setting up your TV tuner and antenna.

#WINDOWS MEDIACENTER 7 HOW TO#

How to Install a TV Antenna provides basic tips on what you need, including when to use a pre-amp.

The AntennaWeb site helps you choose the best antenna for your location based on your input, and provides a color-coded listing of nearby ATSC channels and the best type of antenna for each category of station.

I've found the following resources to be useful in selecting and installing an antenna: Look for an antenna that can store and recall settings and includes a remote control, as this will help you get the best-quality picture as you switch channels. You need an antenna you can rotate to pick up the strongest signal from a digital broadcast TV tower, and the antenna needs to be powered. The best solution is an external directional antenna however, if you are primarily concerned about picking up local digital signals, an internal directional antenna may be acceptable. If you have a weak digital TV signal, you won't have ghosting as you did with analog TV instead, you will have a frozen picture, lack of synchronization between video and audio, or signal breakups. If you're already receiving ATSC signals on an HDTV or a conventional TV with a digital converter box, you already know how important antenna strength and signal quality are.

You will not need to download third-party DVR, channel guide, or other software, just Windows 7 or Windows Vista-compatible drivers (Windows Media Center provides DVR, TV program guide, and other support).

#WINDOWS MEDIACENTER 7 DRIVER#

Note that some vendors still have links to their Windows Vista drivers on a separate web page from other driver downloads. Whether you have just purchased a TV tuner or are using an existing one, be sure to check with the vendor for updated drivers. However, if the tuner is supported only by Windows XP drivers, you will not be able to use it. If you cannot obtain Windows 7-specific drivers for your TV tuner, keep in mind that Windows Vista drivers also work in Windows 7.

In addition to using a TV tuner with ATSC support, you must make sure it will work with Windows 7. TV tuners are available in PCI or PCI Express (PCIe) form factors for desktops, ExpressCard form factors for laptops, and USB 2.0 for both types of computers. If ATSC signals are not supported, you're out of luck and will need a new TV tuner card or device. If you're not sure whether a particular TV tuner card or device will work with broadcast cable TV, make sure the device supports ATSC. However, many USB-based TV tuners use a single connection for analog and digital signals. Figure 1 This Hauppauge TV tuner has separate leads for cable TV (TV) and ATSC digital broadcast TV (ATSC).Īs you can see from Figure 1, typical TV tuner cards use separate connections for analog and digital signals.
