Dear Member,

You have done what actually anyone would do after buying a new hardware.
1.See the resolution of your Laptop. if it is more than 1024*768 reduce it.
2.Did you buy the correct USB TV Box for Laptops?There are two categories.
3.Load the correct driver manually.
Do not use the Autorun Facility.
See if the System is set to PAL not NTSC or Secam.
I think it will work.

Thanks RAHUL
I checked the things as you said and able to obtain only cable tv
But my problem is now how to see Doordarshan's free TV Channels DD1 and DD news on the tvr 2.0 software
Whenever I connect cable tv CABLE to the tv box 2.0 I am able to see cable channels
But whenever I connect a simple antenna (Circuler one) to the TV box I am not able to see any free to air channels like dd 1 ddnews.
Can anybody guide me in this regard?
:( :( :( :confused: :confused:

Dear Member,

To receive TV chanells from DD :
1.Use co-axial cable available in TV shops for TV(Bit xpensive)
2.Or buy a long feeder cable ,keep the antenna (Yagi type) on your roof.
connect a baloon jack(purchased from Chandni Rs.10/-) at the end of the feeder to your TV Card.
Open your software Honestech.
goto settings.
select antenna.
scan for channells.
finished. you will see all free channels working.
