Please note: this file is large (30MBytes)! If you need individual applications, download them in the Accessory section above. If you need the WinTV-HVR-950 driver, you will need to download this file and follow the proceedure below.

Note: for use with Microsoft's Media Center application, you can choose either analog TV or ATSC digital TV reception. You cannot get both analog and digital TV without reconfiguring Media Center.

Step 1 - Extract the Installer
Download the file to a suitable location on your computer, then extract it . Windows has built in support for zip files, if you right click on the file and select 'extract all' a wizard will guide you through extracting the directory.

Step 2 - Remove the previous software version (if necessary)
If you had previously installed the WinTV-PVR-950 in your PC, browse to the folder you just extracted to (e.g. through My Computer) and locate a file called hcwclear.exe
Run HCWCLEAR.EXE and choose the options Remove All WinTV Drivers and Applications (Total Removal) and Search All .INF Files for Conflicting Hardware.
Note: wait until the black box has disappeared of its own accord before proceeding.

Step 3 - Reboot
Shutdown and reboot your PC.

IMPORTANT! Once rebooted, please do not cancel any 'Found new hardware' wizards. Also ensure that the original driver CD is NOT in the CD drive.

Step 4 - New Driver Installation
After Windows reboots, you will see some New Hardware Found prompts. For each one, please choose the following options:

4A) On the first page, select 'No, not this time' and click Next.
4B) On the next page, select 'Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)' and click Next.
4C) On the next page you will be asked 'Please choose your search and installation options'. Select 'Search for driver in these locations' and then specify the extracted folder (the folder you extracted in step 1).
Note: Specifiy the 'Driver' subdirectory if Windows cannot find the driver file.
Note: You can also click the Browse button and browse for the directlry created in Step 1.
4D) Keep clicking Next for the rest of the steps then Finish to end the Hardware Installation Wizard

Depending on the model WinTV board, you may see several New Hardware Found wizards. Follow the same steps for each.

Step 5 - Run Setup.exe
Run Setup.exe from the extracted folder (from Step 1). You will be presented with a list of things to install, leave all the default settings and click Install.

Once the installation is complete, all drivers will be installed and you should have a WinTV2000 icon on your desktop.

To install, copy this file to a temporary directory on your local disk. Then run wintvista_beta.exe, which will install the new WinTV2000 application.

Notes:
- There are three sizes for the application: small, medium and large. The small application is used on displays up to 1024 x 768, the medium is used from screens larger than 1024x768 up to 1280x1024, and the large application is used in resolutions greater than 1280x1024. If you want to change the size used on your PC, close WinTV and edit the file 'WinTvSkin.ini'. Set 'Small_res' or 'Medium_res' to your vertical screen resolution. A future version of WinTVista will have this as a menu setting.
- this WinTV2000 version has a black border in full screen TV mode. The previous version had a white border, which some people found annoying.
