When doing this, make sure that the plastic knob on the PCTV 60e casing fits into the round groove of the adapter. Now turn the adapter until it snaps into the PCTV 60e casing and both line up properly. Now attach the antenna adapter either to the antenna on your building, a room antenna or the rod antenna that is optionally included in the box. OR To connect an antenna, you need the corresponding cable. Note that the quality of the cable has a great influence on the quality of the reception. 4 Connecting to the Computer Connect your PCTV 60e with your computer via the USB port. Use only the USB cable included in the box. 5 Positioning Tips for the Rod Antenna If you would like to use the rod antenna (optional) included in your box to get television reception, note following instructions (these instructions do not apply to other antennas): If possible, place the PCTV 60e near a window. The PCTV 60e should not be placed near a cathode ray tube monitor or a television or similar equipment. Note that you will possibly not get the best DVB-T reception inside buildings.
