Nero LiquidTV™ supports hybrid tuner cards. Both options - digital and analog - are available for the association of TV sources. You have to decide on one of them and associate it to the desired TV source. The second option will not be available for association with a TV source.

To configure a tuner, begin by specifying the TV source to which the tuner is connected. The wizard will then lead you through all required steps for the selected TV source to make the associated TV channels available.

 The Select TV Source screen is displayed.

Select the TV source which is connected to the selected tuner from the displayed Antenna, Cable (no box), Cable box, or Satellite Box options.

Antenna
If your TV source is an antenna then you only need to let Nero LiquidTV™ determine the associated channels to complete the tuner configuration. Proceed with Step 9 if the TV source is an Antenna

Cable (no box)

If Cable (no box) is your TV source then you only need to select your cable provider, specify your cable channel lineup (if you want), and make your premium channels (if you receive some) available for Nero LiquidTV™. After that, the tuner configuration is complete.

If you selected the Cable (no box) option, proceed with: http://support.neroliquidtv.com/tuner-help
Setting Up Tuner with Cable (no box) as TV Source

Cable box or satellite box

As a first step, the connection of these devices is checked to determine if your TV source is a cable box or a satellite box. You then select your provider, followed by the specification of your cable channel lineup and additional premium or local channels (if you receive some). Now enter the brand of your cable or satellite box. As a final step, your PC remote control will be configured so that it can switch between the satellite and cable channels.

If you selected the Cable box or satellite box option, proceed to: http://support.neroliquidtv.com/tuner-help
