Hybrid TV tuner (Analog and Digital TV)
Mobile Theater allows you to switch between analog and digital TV if you
have a hybrid TV tuner installed in your Notebook PC. Hybrid TV tuners are
equipped with receivers that can pick up and interpret both analog and digital
television signals.
Analog is the conventional form of television that uses the standard NTSC or
PAL formats and receives analog signals. Digital, on the other hand, is a more
recent form of television that receives and interprets data instead of the
conventional analog signals. This offers better picture and sound quality,
interactivity, as well as more consistent reception over varying distances.
Switching between analog and digital TV
To switch between analog and digital TV, select Analog or Digital from the
TV page.
Pausing video feeds
Watching TV has become an integral part of our everyday lives. So much so
that sometimes, you find it very hard stay away from your
TV set until you finish watching your favorite TV program. With Mobile
Theater, it is now possible to pause the TV program that you are watching to
make sure that you don’t miss anything while you’re away.
When you click Pause on the remote control or the Navigation Panel, Mobile
Theater automatically switches to time–shift mode. In time-shift mode, the
broadcast feed is saved on a recycle buffer. This buffer acts the same way as a
temporary folder where the broadcast feed is recorded allowing you to view
the whole program when you come back.
Note: When you switch channels while in time-shift mode, the recording will stop
and Mobile Theater will automatically return to preview mode.
