HP Digital Entertainment Center

TV Source Overview

TV Signal Source Overview

You must connect a TV signal to the HP Digital
Entertainment Center for proper operation.

The back panel TV Source connectors are:

TV Source 1 In

TV Source 2 In (select models only)

Cable/Antenna In RF

TV Sources

The back panel connectors are TV Source 1 In and
TV Source 2 In:

For a cable TV box, digital cable box, or satellite
receiver use TV Source 1 In or TV Source 2 In (select
models only).

For an analog cable RF coaxial connector use
Cable/antenna In. For dual-tuner systems, the
Cable/antenna In RF connector splits internally.

A set-top cable TV box is provided by your cable TV
provider to unscramble premium channels.

For Dual Tuner configurations, both TV sources must be of
the same type: either cable TV, digital cable TV, satellite
TV, or antenna. The TV sources must also have the same,
identical channel lineup; for example, if you are using
two satellite TV sources they must provide the exact same
channels. All TV viewing and scheduling is provided
through the Television Program Guide in Media Center,
so both TV sources must have identical Television Program
Guides.

The HP Digital Entertainment Center records television
and allows you to control the television channels. The
HP Digital Entertainment Center has two tuner
configurations available:

Single-tuner
TV Source
1 In

A single tuner allows you to watch or
record one program only.

Dual-tuner
option TV
Source 2 In

You can have dual TV inputs, if your
HP Digital Entertainment Center
includes the two TV tuner option. You
can watch a show on one channel
while Media Center records another
show on a different channel. Or you
can record two different programs at
the same time, using two tuners.
