Can I use the WinTV Scheduler with other WinTV products, or only with the WinTV PVR model?

The Scheduler program will only allow you to schedule recordings using the WinTV PVR hardware. You can use it with other WinTV models, however, with all other models it will only initialize the WinTV application at a certain time, not capture video.

Can I schedule captures of Multiple programs at the same time?

No, the WinTV can capture only from one source at a time, however, you can schedule several different programs for different times or dates.

Must I be logged on as an Administrator to use WinTV-Scheduler on Windows 2000?

Yes, you must be logged on as an Administrator on Windows 2000, or the Scheduler program will not work.

"Couldn't initialize DLL" Error when attempting to run WinTV-Scheduler:

You are not logged onto the system as an administrator. Logon as an administrator to correct the problem.

Under Windows2000, NT, Task Scheduler (Administrative Tools / Services) MUST be started, and the Start Up must be set to automatic.

"Could Not Create Program" Error when attempting to save program information in WinTV-Scheduler:

Be sure that the program is being given a unique name.

Be sure that MSTASK is running. Scheduler requires this to be running to function properly.

You must use valid characters when naming a program (File names cannot contain the following characters: ' \ / : * ? " < > |) and should not be excessively long.

No, the WinTV program must be shut down manually.
