If you are unsure what type of tuning connection you've established, make sure that the cable type you are using matches the image presented with the option you've selected in the list. For detailed information on the options for establishing a tuning connecting between your external receiver and TV tuner card, see the document Tuning External Receivers.
 
 
ADS IR Blaster
Select this option if you have the ADS IR Blaster installed on your computer.
 
ACTiSYS IR200L
Select this option if you are using the IR200L to tune your external receiver. Be sure to select the correct Port number corresponding to the COM Port on which your IR200L is installed. The ACTiSYS IR200L is available for purchase at store.snapstream.com.

IMPORTANT NOTE: SnapStream will not provide support for the ACTiSYS IR200L In-house testing has shown it works well with many receivers, but not at all with others.  

Null Tuner
Select this option if you are not using a tuning connection between your external receiver and TV Tuner card.

Note: Selecting this option will render an only partially-configured Beyond TV. Without a tuning connection, Beyond TV will not be able to change channels on your external receiver. You will, however, be able to record shows and watch the video stream that is sent from your external receiver that you manually configured. In a nutshell, selecting this option allows you to complete the Setup Wizard and review Beyond TV, but channel changing capability will not be present until you obtain the additional hardware to establish a tuning connection.  

Serial Port Tuner
Select this option if you are using a wired connection between your PC and external receiver using a serial cable. Be sure to select the correct Port number corresponding to the COM Port to which you are connecting your cable. Cable packs for establishing this type of connection are also available from store.snapstream.com.

USB-UIRT
Select this option if you have the USB-UIRT installed on your computer.
