How do I connect my TV card

Hi there,

No hardware needs to buy for this purpose. You have enough hardware for this. All you need to do is to connect your TV card properly with your monitor. No big deal just follows simple steps.

1. Connect your monitor with power cable and turn on it.

2. Then connect TV card with power cable. You nay need an adapter for this.

3. Then connect monitor’s VGA cable with TV cards VGA port. That shows blue on both sides.

4. Now turn on power of TV card with remote control or manually.

All is done. Now just enjoy your TV shows.
