The decoding of high definition ATSC is very processor  
intensive, and the smoothness of high definition TV pro-  
grams 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.  
The main applications  
installed are the WinTV2000

6. Running WinTV 2000 for the first time  
If you want to add names or fine tune an analog channel,  
click Menu / Suite Manager / Sources. Choose Analog  
Source. You will see a list of your analog channels. Click  
on the desired channel. Click the Tune button to change  
channel. You can change the Name to the name of the sta-  
tion. To fine tune an analog channel, unclick AFT and then  
use the Finetune slide bar. When finished, click Close.  
To start the WinTV 2000 application, double click on the  
WinTV 2000 icon on your desk top. When you run  
WinTV2000 for the first time, a message says Would you  
like to scan for channels now? Click YES.  
If you see video with a black box around it, click the Pref  
button then click TV mode tab. Check the box which says  
Allow resolution change”.  
Always-on-Top” mode  
Click the Scan button and WinTV2000 will automatically  
scan for both analog and ATSC digital TV channels. The  
scanning process takes about 10 minutes. The scanning  
process for ATSC will scan from channels 2 to 68.  
With Always on Top, WinTV will always be visible on your  
Windows desktop on top of any applications. To turn on,  
click the Always on top button. It will turn green. To turn  
off, click this button again. A convenient way to use Always-  
on-Top is to make the TV window in the no-title mode small,  
and to make the TV window in the title mode larger. Then  
you can switch very quickly from a small window to a larger  
one by clicking the right mouse button.  
The ATSC digital channels that are found will appear in the  
channel listing box. The Name is the name as defined by  
the broadcaster. The Channel number is created by the  
WinTV application. For ATSC digital channels, since each  
primary channel might have several subchannels, the chan-  
nel number is calculated so that channel 22.2 would be list-  
ed as 1222. Channel 7.2 would be listed as 1072.
