1. Good reception quality in high mobility
GIGABYTE GT-U7000-RH digital TV dongle is equipped with a chip designed by Dibcom--a professional car TV IC
design house, so it has good reception while moving at high speed (90km/h ~ 110km/h, depending on the quality of the
signal source). It is easy to enjoy TV with the GT-U7000-RH when you are in a moving vehicle.
2. Time-Shifting function
When the time-shifting function is activated, the system will record the live TV program in your hard disk. (The system
will reserve the recorded program for up to 30 minutes). Then, you can pause, forward or backward the channel you are
watching. If you switch to another channel, the system will erase the previously recorded contents and start to record
the current channel. The time-shifting function is defaulted to off when the TV player is installed. Please go to [TV] >
[Settings]> [Signal Settings] and enable the [Time-Shifting] function if you want to activate this function. Besides,
because the time-shifting function needs more system resources, please confirm whether your system meets the
recommended system requirements.
3. Scheduled recording
In the TV or Radio menu, click [Schedule] and select [TV] or [Radio] program to record. Click [New Schedule] to set up
the schedule record. Besides, if the TV channel supports the EPG function, you can click the program in the EPG menu
to record without setting recording details.
4. EPG function
Some TV channels provide Electronic Program Guide function. You can check this by clicking the EPG button on the
remote control. Then the screen will show the TV program guide. Moreover, you can directly click the program that you
wish to record without setting record details.
5. SAP/Stereo sound function
Please enter [TV]> [Settings]> [Signal settings]> [Audio] to choose SAP or Stereo sound. This function can be activated
only when the corresponding channel supports this function.
