If the
tuner came with its own antenna, you can use that instead, but reception will
be weaker.
Connect any other TV source that you will be using via the appropriate type
of cable??”for example, S-Video or composite. (If you??™re not clear on cable
types, see Step 1 in Project 12 for a quick reference.)
If the TV tuner has an infrared extender for controlling an input source, connect
that cable and position the extender within striking distance of the input
source??™s infrared receiver.

48 Part II: Intermediate
When Windows Vista notices the TV tuner, it launches the Found New Hardware
Wizard. Click the Locate And Install Driver Software button, go through User
Account Control for the Device Driver Software Installation feature (unless you??™ve
turned User Account Control off), and then follow through the procedure of identifying
and installing the driver for the TV tuner.
If the TV tuner included a CD containing drivers for Windows Vista, insert the
CD in your computer??™s optical drive. Otherwise, allow the wizard to search Windows
Update for the drivers, download them, and then install them.
In some cases, you may need to download the drivers manually from the TV tuner manufacturer??™s
web site, unzip them, and then tell the wizard where to find them.
When the wizard has finished installing the software, click the Close button.
