How do I rescan channels?
Click on the setting button (Gear) in the lower left of the WinTV v10 application. Then click on the Devices tab and highlight your WinTV device and click Tuner Setup (see the first picture below).
In the Device Setup Wizard, you will see a list of TV formats which your Hauppauge TV tuner can support. Depending upon which Hauppauge tuner you have, you will have a choice of analog, digital or external inputs (see the second picture below). You can also select all formats and let the WinTV application show you what it finds in each format (if anything).
Click Next and Next and let WinTV scan for channels. The results should look like picture 3 below.

On my PC it was set to 'Important Wake Timers only' and the PC wouldn't wake up for recordings.
Can I get 5.1 channel audio with WinTV v10?
Yes. When receiving digital TV with a surround sound (5.1) audio track, WinTV v10 sends the digital audio track to your PC's sound card for decoding and to drive your speakers.
But your PCs sound card needs to be able to handle the 5.1 channel audio. If your sound card does not have 5.1 channel audio capability, then the sound card will down mix the 5.1 audio into 2 channels.
I have a WinTV-HVR which has analog capability. How can I manually add channel 3 so I can get video from my cable box?
Here's how to manually add channel 3:
- click the 'gear' icon on the lower left of WinTV v10
- go to the 'Devices' tab
- select your device (example:WinTV-HVR-955Q)
- click 'Tuner setup'
- select 'Analog TV (cable/antenna)'
- under 'Channels' use the pull down menu and select 'Manual Entry'. Then click 'Next'
- in 'Number', type 3
- in 'Name' type 3 (or maybe something like 'Cable box'
- click 'Add'
- click 'Next' and 'Next'
Now you will have added analog channel 3 to your channel list. You can find the channel list by RIGHT clicking your mouse over the WinTV window and selecting 'Find channel'. You should see channel 3 listed.
