owners guide is installed as pdf on your computer.

 

Thank You Guys ...i Will Try To Set It Up Tonight....

 

so i plug it all in ...multimedia screen came on...everything works fine but no signal....but i guess i was under the inpression this would be more portable tv tuner and that i will not have to plug it in to top set cable or satellite box......is it the only way it works....wired to cable or satelitte box????? if thats the case why would i watch the tv on laptop vs. my regular tv set????

 

hhhmmm im trying to figure out the point of this tunner....unless i have no tv set.....

 

Is the HDMI port of the X205 version 1.1, 1.2, 1.2a or 1.3 ??

 

I Have No Idea....im Still New To This...sorry

 

It is indeed just a TV Tuner. You still have to have some type of input source, such as a cable box, sat box, or off air tuner.

Its not really meant as a replacement for a television. For instance, I use it while traveling so I can have DVR functions in my hotel room instead of just basic cable.

On a full blown media center PC you'd have it hooked up to your regular television, but its not as useful in laptop format.

 

that makes sence....im traveling in february,i will def try that function in hotel room...good idea....thank you

 

No problem!
