3.        How to install / uninstall "TV Viewer"

You must have DirectX6 and DXMedia5.2 or higher installed. These files may
already be installed. You can start the trial version, and if it works
you have these files installed. If the program gives an error message about
a missing DLL file, you must download and install DirectX6 and DXMedia.
To download and install these files go to http://www.microsoft.com/directx

Further installation is very easy. Unzip the zip-file to
whatever directory you want and start it up from there. There are no other
files in the system changed.
There are NO registry settings or Windows directory settings created or
modified.  To uninstall the program, just delete "TV Viewer.EXE" (or
TV Viewer_TRIAL.EXE)


4.        What is "TV Viewer"

"TV Viewer" is a program that will allow you to view the input of your capture
card, at full screen size, with using only a very small amount of
system resources. This program will make a TV board of your capture card!


5.        Future plans

- Possibly support for Multiple Monitor Systems
