To use this feature, connect your antenna’s MCX output to inDtube’s MCX  
input. If your antenna of choice has a coax output with an F-Connector at  
(
)
the end of it, use the F-Connector to MCX Adapter included .  
This will allow the F-Connector to plug into the MCX input.  
For the best results in obtaining a digital signal, use a roof top antenna that  
is adjusted and configured properly. Double-shielded coaxial cables and a  
digitally-enabled antenna amplifier are recommended to achieve the best  
results.  
To properly use the provided telescopic antenna, collapse or extend it until  
the desired picture is achieved. Be sure the antenna is positioned fully  
upright. Place the antenna near a window and at a high location for best  
results. You can also attach the end of the antenna to a magnetic surface  
which may improve overall signal. Do not attach to or around your  
computer’s case as this may cause irreversible damage to its internal  
components.  
Avoid placing the provided antenna near a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor  
or TV as such devices may degrade the signal quality.  
Important Notice: Good reception depends on your surroundings and loca-  
tion. Loss of or highly degraded signal can occur if steel walls and towering  
buildings surround your area. Trying to obtain a signal while in a moving  
vehicle is usually unachievable and not possible.

Coax Cable Set-up  
Your coax cable line will most likely have an F-Connector attached to the  
end. Use the F-Connector to MCX Adapter (included) to properly connect  
your coax cable line to inDtube’s MCX input.  
Cable and Satellite Set-Top Box Set-up  
1.Connect the AV-input adapter (included) into the input located on the rear  
of inDtube next to the gold platted MCX input. The AV-input on inDtube is  
notched and will only fit one way. Do not force in as this may cause  
irreversible damage to both the AV-input adapter and inDtube.

2. Follow instructions A or B depending on which video connection you  
want to use:  
A - If your cable or satellite box has an available Video RCA  
output, attach it to the AV-input adapter’s Video RCA input.  
B - If your cable or satellite box has an available S-Video output,  
attach it to the AV-input adapter’s S-Video input. Using this  
configuration will result in the best image quality.  
3. Connect the audio output of your  
RCA Audio Y-Adapter  
cable or satellite box to the 3.5mm  
stereo input located on the  
AV-input adapter.  
Note: If your cable or satellite box  
does not have a 3.5mm stereo output,  
then an RCA Y-Adapter to single  
3.5mm audio cable will be needed  
(not included).  
4. At this stage, inDtube is properly connected to receive satellite or cable  
feed.  
Note: If no more video and audio outputs are available on your cable or  
satellite box, then connect to inDtube by using the coaxial jack. The output  
should be labeled “Out to TV,” “TV Output” or something similar. A coaxial  
cable will be needed (not included) as well as the F-Connector to MCX  
Adapter (included) to connect to inDtube’s MCX input. The AV-input adapter  
is not needed for this configuration. The cable or satellite box needs to  
provide such an output for this configuration to work.  
Note: The included software supports Macrovision. This means you can not  
record media through the AV-input adapter if Macrovision is being used on  
the source. For example: Trying to copy a DVD. For more information please

(included) to allow movement of inDtube’s location. The remote control will  
work at an estimated 15 feet or more under optimum conditions.

FAQ  
Question:  
What type of battery does inDtube’s Remote Control use?  
Answer:  
inDtube’s Remote Control uses a Lithium Cell CR2025 3V battery. This  
battery can be purchased at most electronic stores if a replacement is  
needed. To gain access to the battery, turn over the remote so that you are  
looking at the back and that the IR output is pointed away from you. The  
battery holder, located at the bottom end of the remote, will slide out if you  
pinch the left edge to the right and pull at the same time. A small hole is  
provided to use with a pen or other pointy object to assist in sliding out  
the battery holder. The holder should now slide out and the battery will be  
revealed. Be sure the + side (positive side) of the battery corresponds to  
the + located on the plastic battery holder. Once you are sure the battery is  
installed correctly, slide the holder back in to secure it.  
Question:  
Does the inDtube work with other TV Tuner applications?  
Answer:  
inDtube should work with most popular TV Tuner applications, however  
only the included software is officially supported. If using an application  
other than what was included and are experiencing problems, then contact  
the developer of the software in use.  
Question:  
I am having problems with viewing and recording video through my TV  
Tuner program.  
Answer:  
Be sure that you are using the proper cables and that they are connected  
properly to both the AV-input adapter and the output device. Be sure that  
the drivers have properly been installed for inDtube. Contact the program’s  
Software Developer for help and support.

Question:  
inDtube receives poor reception through an antenna/cable or satellite box.  
Answer:  
Antenna use: Avoid placing the provided antenna near a Cathode Ray  
Tube (CRT) monitor or TV as such devices may degrade the signal quality.  
Good reception depends a lot on your surroundings and location. Loss of  
signal or highly degraded signal can occur if steel walls and towering build-  
ings surround your area. Trying to obtain a signal while in a moving vehicle  
is usually unachievable and not possible. Please be sure that the antenna of  
your choice is configured and adjusted properly. Check that the antenna’s  
physical connection to inDtube is properly plugged in. Be sure that the driv-  
ers have properly been installed for inDtube.  
Cable or Satellite use: Check the physical connections of the AV-input  
and the cables coming from cable or Satellite box. Contact your service  
provider in regards to reception.  
Question:  
High Definition TV does not display properly.  
Answer:  
When using an antenna to capture free air high definition television, be  
sure it is fully adjusted for optimal signal. Your video card and monitor must  
support resolutions that can achieve high definition resolutions: for example  
- 1280x720 or 1920x1080  
If more assistance is needed please contact your service provider or EVGA

for dual TV Tuner support?  
Answer:  
No, InDtube will only support one connection at a time.  
Question:  
Certain channels do not come through when using a coax line, cable, or  
satellite set-top box.  
Answer:  
Depending on your service provider certain channels are distributed in an  
encoded signal that requires a QAM tuner. These channels can not be  
decoded by inDtube because it has no QAM tuner.
