The world's most mobile TV card!
- DTT (Freeview) and analogue TV reception (cable, antenna)
- Digital video recorder with editing function
- Power supply via USB 2.0
Incl. TerraTec Home Cinema software:
TerraTec Home Cinema turns television on the computer into an experience. Whether internal
or external TV card, whether digital (DVB-T, DVB-S, DVB-C) or analogue (antenna, cable) – the
possibilities of turning your computer into a television are endless. Use a PCI card and a USB
box, for example, to record a program and simultaneously view another one or record several
broadcasts. All TerraTec TV cards can be freely combined for this purpose.
In addition to the usual functions, such as time-shifted television, electronic program guide (EPG)
and digital video recorder, the TerraTec Home Cinema offers a few innovations: With remote
programming via the Internet, the current television program can be conveniently searched and
a recording can be programmed with a click of the mouse. For this purpose, TerraTec Home
Cinema accesses the established service of tvtv.de – a 60-day trial version is included. The
computer wakes up at home from standby or the idle state on time and the desired broadcast
automatically lands on the hard disk.
Even easier are recordings using the electronic program guide during the broadcast – simply
press the corresponding button. No matter how you plan your recordings: They can already be
viewed while the recording is still running!
More new functions of the TerraTec Home Cinemas include: Automatic optimization of the
aspect ratio, recording of Dolby Digital (AC3), video text and subtitles, support of DVB radio and
customizable lists of favorites (genre, location), multi-tuner support and constantly available help
functions as well as the advertising editor Cut! which allows for easily cutting advertising blocks –
easier than ever before.
Slim and resource-saving, intuitive operation, yet very extensive – the TerraTec Home Cinema
fully exploits the possibilities of television on the computer!

Important notes on Digital Terrestrial TV reception in the UK:
Please ensure you can receive the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) service in your region. Check here for coverage:
http://www.dtg.org.uk/retailer/coverage.html
T
he Terratec CINERGY Digital TV products require that you use a high-gain roof antenna to enable and enjoy reliable Digital
T
elevision reception throughout the UK. The portable antenna that we provide should only be used and relied on in areas
where the Digital TV signal reception is optimal. (Some countries or regions can have different reception conditions, and the
environment in which you are viewing can be affected by various factors: Proximity to the Digital TV transmitter, heavy/ tall
building constructions and thick walls or ceilings.)
Portable or mobile Digital TV reception in cars, trains or airplanes etc. is normally not supported.
T
he UK Digital Terrestrial TV coverage is changing and improving all the time as new digital transmitters are erected. For more
general information on the switchover from analogue to Digital Terrestrial Television coverage in your region, please check
