Technical Specifications

System Requirements

  • Windows Operating System (2000/XP/MCE)

  • Pentium III or AMD CPU running at 1GHz or higher* (2.8GHz P4 for HDTV where transmitted)
  • 64MB or more of RAM

  • 20MB or more of free hard disk space

  • A spare USB2.0 port (you can use an externally powered USB2.0 hub if required).

  • Graphics card (or onboard graphics) preferably PCI-express or AGP, capable of supporting 800x600 minimum resolution at 16-bit colour and hardware overlays

  • Sound card (or onboard sound) and speaker combination.

  • A system PSU that has enough spare capacity to cater for all existing devices, plus the DigiTV unit (2.5W).
  • DirectX 7 or greater.


  • *The VIA EPIA 12000 is powerful enough for all channels without dropped frames when running DigiTV in Low Speed CPU mode.

    We recommend a 1GHz PC for operation for viewing Standard Definition television (UK & Europe), but a 2.8GHz PC is the minimum requirement for smooth High Definition TV (HTDV) eg in Australia.

    Restrictions

  • Windows 98se and Windows ME operating systems are not supported.

  • µDigiTV requires 500mA from the USB port to operate correctly, and small minority of laptops may only share this amount of power among all the devices connected to the USB bus. If this is the case, then either disconnect the other devices or run the µDigiTV through a powered hub.
