Step 3

Connecting the infrared (IR) blaster cable
The IR blaster cable allows Pinnacle PCTV To Go to send commands to your video device, just like a remote. Make sure you properly connect the IR blaster cable before you install the Pinnacle PCTV To Go software so that the PCTV To Go Setup Wizard software can control your device.
CONNECT THE IR CABLE TO YOUR VIDEO DEVICE
Locate the IR sensor on the video device you wish to operate. Place the IR emitter so that it faces the IR sensor on the device (see diagram). Once you have tested the IR emitter using the PCTV To Go Setup Wizard and can verify that it is placed properly on the video device, peel the sticker off and fix the emitter to the device.
CONNECTING TO YOUR PINNACLE PCTV TO GO
Connect the IR cable to the IR blaster port on the back of your Pinnacle PCTV To Go.

Guides

PCTV To Go Quick Start PCTV To Go Setup Wizard PCTV To Go Player MCE TV Signal Setup PCTV To Go Network Configurations
MCE (Windows Media Center Edition) users will have to go through the TV Signal settings in MCE and select Pinnacle PCTV To Go Wireless Device as the default tuner if their system has a hardware tuner installed. If the TV source is a cable/satellite/DVR box, an MCE IR Emitter/Receiver unit, such as the Pinnacle PCTV Remote Kit for MCE, needs to be connected to the PC to allow PCTV To Go to control the box from within MCE. MCE supports local viewing only. Pinnacle PCTV Remote kit for MCE sold separately.
