Frequently Asked Questions - inDtube EVGA

How do I install the EVGA inDtube TV tuner?

Connect the tuner to an available USB port on your computer. Attach a coaxial cable from your antenna or cable TV outlet to the RF input. Install the included software or let Windows automatically detect and install drivers. Then, open the TV application and scan for channels.

Which software should I use with the inDtube?

The tuner works with Windows Media Center and the dedicated EVGA software included in the package. You can also use third-party applications like Kodi or NextPVR with appropriate drivers.

Why can't I find any channels after scanning?

Ensure your antenna is properly connected and positioned for optimal signal. Check if you are within range of broadcast towers. Also verify that you selected the correct TV standard (e.g., DVB-T for terrestrial) during setup. Weak signals may require an amplified antenna.

Can I record TV programs with the inDtube?

Yes, the included software supports scheduled recording and time-shifting. You can record directly to your hard drive in common formats. Ensure you have sufficient storage space and set recording schedules in the application.

Does the tuner work with my operating system?

The EVGA inDtube is officially supported on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10. It may not be compatible with macOS or Linux without third-party drivers. Check EVGA's website for the latest driver updates.

What type of antenna do I need?

For over-the-air digital TV (DVB-T), a standard UHF/VHF antenna works. For cable (DVB-C), connect directly to your cable outlet. An indoor antenna may suffice in strong signal areas, but outdoor antennas offer better reception.

The remote control doesn't work. What should I do?

First, check the batteries and ensure the IR receiver is properly connected to the tuner or USB port. Make sure nothing is blocking the line of sight. Re-pair the remote by holding the power button for 5 seconds near the receiver. If issues persist, contact EVGA support for a replacement.

Can I use the inDtube with a laptop?

Yes, it is designed for both desktop and laptop computers with a USB port. Its compact size makes it portable. However, ensure your laptop meets the system requirements and has a USB port that can supply sufficient power.

How do I update the firmware or drivers?

Visit the EVGA support website and search for 'inDtube'. Download the latest drivers and firmware for your operating system. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions. Restart your computer after installation.

Is the tuner compatible with high-definition TV?

Yes, it supports HDTV resolutions up to 1080i when receiving digital broadcasts. Analog channels are limited to standard definition. The quality depends on your signal strength and broadcast format.

Connecting the antenna

for digital or analog use

InDtube can accept either the portable antenna supplied in the box or a roof top based antenna.

Technical line drawings of three different types of antenna or sensor components: a standard pole, a vertical pole with an antenna, and a multimeter (no text or symbols present)

300 ohm - 75 ohm TV Balun supported. (not included)

To use this feature, connect your antenna's MCX output to inDtube's MCX input. If your antenna of choice has a coax output with an F-Connector at the end of it, use the F-Connector to MCX Adapter (included).

This will allow the F-Connector to plug into the MCX input.

F-Connector MCX Adapter EV3A EV3A

For the best results in obtaining a digital signal, use a roof top antenna that is adjusted and configured properly. Double-shielded coaxial cables and a digitally-enabled antenna amplifier are recommended to achieve the best results.

To properly use the provided telescopic antenna, collapse or extend it until the desired picture is achieved. Be sure the antenna is positioned fully upright. Place the antenna near a window and at a high location for best results. You can also attach the end of the antenna to a magnetic surface which may improve overall signal. Do not attach to or around your computer's case as this may cause irreversible damage to its internal components.

Avoid placing the provided antenna near a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor or TV as such devices may degrade the signal quality.

Important Notice: Good reception depends on your surroundings and location. Loss of or highly degraded signal can occur if steel walls and towering buildings surround your area. Trying to obtain a signal while in a moving vehicle is usually unachievable and not possible.

Coax Cable Set-up

Your coax cable line will most likely have an F-Connector attached to the end. Use the F-Connector to MCX Adapter (included) to properly connect your coax cable line to inDtube's MCX input.

1. Connect the AV-input adapter (included) into the input located on the rear of inDtube next to the gold platted MCX input. The AV-input on inDtube is notched and will only fit one way. Do not force in as this may cause irreversible damage to both the AV-input adapter and inDtube.

2. Follow instructions A or B depending on which video connection you want to use:

A - If your cable or satellite box has an available Video RCA output, attach it to the AV-input adapter's Video RCA input.

B - If your cable or satellite box has an available S-Video output, attach it to the AV-input adapter's S-Video input. Using this configuration will result in the best image quality.

1. Connect the audio output of your cable or satellite box to the 3.5mm stereo input located on the AV-input adapter.

Note: If your cable or satellite box does not have a 3.5mm stereo output, then an RCA Y-Adapter to single 3.5mm audio cable will be needed (not included).

RCA Audio Y-Adapter

1. At this stage, inDtube is properly connected to receive satellite or cable feed.

Note: If no more video and audio outputs are available on your cable or satellite box, then connect to inDtube by using the coaxial jack. The output should be labeled “Out to TV,” “TV Output” or something similar. A coaxial cable will be needed (not included) as well as the F-Connector to MCX Adapter (included) to connect to inDtube’s MCX input. The AV-input adapter is not needed for this confi guration. The cable or satellite box needs to provide such an output for this confi guration to work.

Note: The included software supports Macrovision. This means you can not record media through the AV-input adapter if Macrovision is being used on the source. For example: Trying to copy a DVD. For more information please visit http://www.Macrovision.com

FAQ

Question:

What type of battery does inDtube's Remote Control use?

Answer:

inDtube's Remote Control uses a Lithium Cell CR2025 3V battery. This battery can be purchased at most electronic stores if a replacement is needed. To gain access to the battery, turn over the remote so that you are looking at the back and that the IR output is pointed away from you. The battery holder, located at the bottom end of the remote, will slide out if you pinch the left edge to the right and pull at the same time. A small hole is provided to use with a pen or other pointy object to assist in sliding out the battery holder. The holder should now slide out and the battery will be revealed. Be sure the + side (positive side) of the battery corresponds to the + located on the plastic battery holder. Once you are sure the battery is installed correctly, slide the holder back in to secure it.

Question:

Does the inDtube work with other TV Tuner applications?

Answer:

inDtube should work with most popular TV Tuner applications, however only the included software is offi cially supported. If using an application other than what was included and are experiencing problems, then contact the developer of the software in use.

Question:

inDtube receives poor reception through an antenna/cable or satellite box.

Answer:

Antenna use: Avoid placing the provided antenna near a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitor or TV as such devices may degrade the signal quality. Good reception depends a lot on your surroundings and location. Loss of signal or highly degraded signal can occur if steel walls and towering buildings surround your area. Trying to obtain a signal while in a moving vehicle is usually unachievable and not possible. Please be sure that the antenna of your choice is configured and adjusted properly. Check that the antenna's physical connection to inDtube is properly plugged in. Be sure that the drivers have properly been installed for inDtube.

Cable or Satellite use: Check the physical connections of the AV-input and the cables coming from cable or Satellite box. Contact your service provider in regards to reception.

Question:

High Definition TV does not display properly.

Answer:

When using an antenna to capture free air high definition television, be sure it is fully adjusted for optimal signal. Your video card and monitor must support resolutions that can achieve high definition resolutions: for example - 1280x720 or 1920x1080
