Some WinTV v7 models do not have USB functionality and will operate only via their included IR remote control. If the controller does not have PoE, it can operate in Sleep mode where it consumes 1 Watt of power. When the controller is used, it must be connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled device.

WinTV v7 is mainly intended for computers running Windows 8 with a processor or graphics capabilities, which are similar to a standard HDTV system. (Instructions on how to control the WinTV v7 using an IR remote can be found here). The USB WinTV device has an IR Remote that allows you to control the device if you get a WinTV v7 USB. It will create an invisible, compatible USB device in Device Manager. A system requirement for WinTV v8 is Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. The main difference of WinTV v8 is that it uses Windows 8 and is much more compatible with devices like the Apple TV and the Roku.

In the meantime, we recommend downloading the 32-bit version from this link. We have no information on a 64-bit CD but we hope to release a 64-bit version of WinTV v7. This is because the WinTV v7 CD driver cannot be installed on the 64-bit operating system. We are aware that WinTV v7 serial numbers will not work on the 64-bit Windows 10 operating system.
