I. Connecting TVMini2
1. Connect TVMini2 to a free USB 2.0 port of your Mac.
2. Connect the mini-antenna to the antenna connector.
Note: The mini-antenna will only work in areas where DVB-T reception is good. You should not have any
difficulties receiving the full range of TV stations if you live in Germany or northern European countries. In the UK
and France, it is strongly recommended to place the antenna near a window, as ‘indoor mobility’ is not yet
implemented.
If you do not receive any channels when using the mini-antenna, connect TVMini2 to a roof-top antenna.
You cannot receive TV signals from CableTV or analogue signals with TVMini2.
