14.Press the power button and the desktop monitor should show some display resembling a disturbed TV transmission.

15.Treat the setup like a regular TV and tune the channels.

Tips

1.Some of the tuner cards have an automatic tuning facility which can be invoked by pressing a single key from the remote.

2.If initially, you do not hear any sound, try swapping the sockets of the two audio cables plugged into the tuner card.

3.The TV tuner card can also be run without switching on your desktop. Just the monitor needs to be powered on. In fact, you do not need a CPU cabinet at all, just a monitor is enough!

Warnings

Make sure that when you are plugging in cables, the power is turned off.
