User manual HAUPPAUGE WINTV-HVR-950

[. . . ] Note: Due to power and bandwidth requirements, we do not recommend connecting WinTV-HVR into a USB Hub. Plug an antenna for ATSC digital TV reception, or either cable TV or a TV antenna for analog TV reception, into the TV connector on WinTV-HVR-950. It is recommended to connect to a roof top aerial during the first time installation. This will provide better signal quality then the provided portable antenna. 1.
