It uses your PC or laptop’s CPU for displaying digital TV programs on your PC screen.
The decoding of high definition ATSC is very processor intensive, and the smoothness of
high definition TV programs depends upon how fast your PC or laptop system is. Other
PC activities that consume CPU resources might affect the display of ATSC digital TV.
Slow video, jerky video and momentary pausing of video are all results of a CPU which is
temporarily being used by other activities.
For the best ATSC TV reception, a roof top ‘High gain’ antenna is recommended. In the U.S.,
a good ATSC digital antenna selector can be found at www.antennaweb.org

What is ATSC TV?
ATSC digital TV is over-the-air digital TV for North America. ATSC digital TV typically requires
an antenna for reception, and is currently broadcast in 200 cities, with over 1500 TV stations.
ATSC digital TV is transmitted in several resolutions, from “standard definition” which is
similar to cable TV, up to high definition which has about 16 times the resolution of standard
definition analog cable TV. In any resolution, ATSC digital TV gives sharper pictures than
analog cable TV and near CD quality sound.
WinTV-quadHD has four built-in tuners for digital over-the-air ATSC TV. To receive ATSC, you
will need an antenna. The further the WinTV-quadHD is from the broadcast transmitters, the
larger the antenna you need for the best TV reception.
