Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Eric White and today we're going to talk about how to install a TV tuner card. Here we have a picture of the inside of a computer and inside the square red box is a PCI slot. Most TV tuner cards are PCI slotted. Our next picture is a picture of a PCI card. Now this particular card is not a TV tuner card but the principle still applies. Its a PCI card. You're going to install it exactly the same way. Now here we have that same card on its side and what you're going to do is you're just going to slide this card in and you're going to see this open slot here and the PCI slot here, this card is going to slide into the left and down into the PCI slot. Once you've lined the card up, you're going to want to push down firmly with your thumb, don't force it in, just push down firmly with your thumb and you're going to feel a slight thud. Its going to click into place. Once the card is clicked into place, screw the screw back in, close the computer and power it up. When it powers up, Windows is going to find your new card. Its going to ask you for software. At this point, all you have to do is put the disc that came with the TV tuner card into your CD-ROM and follow the instructions for the install."
