If you do not have a WinTV v8.5 Activation Code, you can either buy one on the Hauppauge webstore for 9.95, or if you have a WinTV v7 CD, you can download and install the latest version of WinTV v8. We link the serial number of your TV tuner (sometimes its the MAC address) with the Activation code. If you do not have your original WinTV CD-ROM but would like to update to WinTV v8, -.Īfter downloading this file, its normally saved in the Download directory on your PC Note: If you see a message Run or Save, click Save. If you have a WinTV v8 Activation Code, you can upgrade to WinTV v8.5 at no cost. If, for example, you scanned WinTV with an over-the-air antenna but selected a cable TV line up in TitanTV, your channel line will be different and scheduled recordings will fail.
