Getting Started
AVS TV Box has a simple and intuitive interface and lets the user start watching the video right after it is installed.

such as TV tuners and alike. If your device has a USB-interface, it is usually possible to connect it while your personal
computer is running. Please read the manual that comes with your device to avoid damage and installation problems.
2. Start your computer and install the capture device drivers. They are usually placed onto the CD/DVD that comes along with the

DiSEqC - stands for Digital Satellite Equipment Control - is a special communication protocol that is used between a
satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish switch or a small dish antenna rotor. When you are using a DiSEqC
switch, you may choose the right passageway to the correct LNB (LNB A - LNB B - LNB C - LNB D) according to your
DiSEqC switch.
Tone data burst - is used to turn on/off the tone or data burst switching functions.

Electronic Program Guide (EPG) or is a on-screen guide to scheduled broadcast television programs, allowing a viewer to navigate,
select, and discover content by time, title, channel, genre, etc.
The technology is based upon broadcasting data within the signal. EPGs are typically sent within the broadcast transport stream or
alongside it in a special data channel. The technology is predominant in the digital television and radio world. These signals may arrive
via cable TV, satellite TV, cable radio, satellite radio, or via over-the-air terrestrial broadcast stations.
By navigating through an EPG on a receiving device, users can see more information about the current program and about future

disk for later viewing.
You can activate the EPG function using the Electronic program guide button on the main controls panel. After that the EPG
