INSTALLATIONETHERNET vs WIRELESS CONNECTION

Now that you have your BTVi3 Box turned on, you are ready to set up your Internet connection. The only thing to figure out now, is how do you want to set up your connection? With the BTVi3 Box, you have two options. One option is to use a wired connection with an Ethernet cable. The other option is to connect wirelessly. For the best Internet connection with the most optimal streaming capabilities, we recommend using a wired connection. This ensures a direct connection from your router to your BTVi3 Box without interference which could happen with a wireless connection. The only drawback to a wired connection, is that it limits where you can have your BTVi3 Box to its proximity to where your router is located. If this is an issue for you, you may be better off with a wireless connection. This gives you the freedom to connect your BTVi3 to any TV of yours, regardless of where your router is located. As mentioned before, the drawback to a wireless connection is a loss in signal quality. This is due to fluctuation of the signal as it travels over-the-air. You can test which connection works best for you by using the “Ookla Speed Test” application on your “My Apps” screen.

STEP 1: From the “Home” screen, using the directional pad on your remote, select “Settings”.

CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET WITH A WIRED CONNECTION (RECOMMENDED)(For Wireless Connection instructions, go to Page 9.)

Page 7

STEP 2: Under “Settings”, select “Network”.

STEP 3: Under “Network”, select “Ethernet”.

STEP 5: After you have connected your Ethernet cable, your BTVi3 Box will automatically connect to your network. (To continue installation, skip to Page 11.)

Page 8

STEP 4: Under “Ethernet”, you’ll notice your Internet connection says “Not Connected”. At this point, connect your Ethernet Cable (not included) from the “LAN” port on the BTVi3 Box to an available port on a LAN switch, router (pictured), or networked wall plate.

STEP 5: Under “Available Networks”, select your Wi-Fi network. From there, using the directional pad on your remote and the on-screen keyboard, proceed to enter your router’s password. After you’ve entered your password, select the green arrow button on the far right side of the keyboard. After confirming your wireless router’s settings, your BTVi3 Box will be connected to your network. (Proceed to Page 11 to continue installation.)

INSTALLATIONUPDATING THE BTVi3 APPLICATION

STEP 2: Under “My Apps”, using the directional pad on your remote, select the “AppMarket” app.

STEP 3: Under the “AppMarket” app, using the directional pad on your remote, select the “ACCESS” app, which happens to be on the main screen. When the download screen opens up, using the directional pad on your remote, select “Install”.

STEP 1: From the “Home” screen, using the directional pad on your remote, select “My Apps”.

INSTALLATIONUPDATING THE BTVi3 APPLICATION (Continued)

STEP 4: Once the “ACCESS” downloader is opened, scroll down until “Install” appears at the bottom of the screen. Highlight and select “Install”. From there, the “ACCESS” downloader will install the “ACCESS” app. When it’s finished, you will be given the option to open the app or close the “ACCESS” downloader. Select “Open” to continue the installation.

STEP 5: A content disclaimer will pop up upon opening the “ACCESS” app. Select “Next”. From there, press the “Select” button on your remote to begin downloading the latest update for the “ACCESS” app. The latest version of the “ACCESS” app will begin downloading.

Page 12

User’s Guide

Page 13

STEP 5 (Continued): Once the update for the “ACCESS” app is complete, it will automatically begin installing to your BTVi3. This whole process of downloading and installation takes approximately 5-15 minutes depending on your Internet connection. The BTVi3 Box automatically updates after the initial installation and update, so this process should only have to be done once. This app gives the BTVi3 App access to all the content it was programmed for, and is essential to properly use your BTVi3 Box. Once the update is complete, you can exit by using the “Return” button on your remote. When the pop-up asks to confirm exiting, select “Yes”. You will be brought back to the “My Apps” screen.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING STREAM APPLICATIONS

Trying to figure out what application to use may seem a bit overwhelming at first. But what it really comes down to is exploring your options and finding what you like!

The BTVi3 Box tries to simplify this by collecting what they feel are the best applications for a particular category in one section, or a simplified BTV search. Under each category, if you click on the category title on the sidebar, you will be taken to the application that BTV has chosen as their best available stream for that category without having to search for them. These are already gathered from various streaming applications for you and you just have to go through and choose one that works best for you. Some streams won’t always work, so you will have to find one that does.

If you’re feeling a bit more adventurous, you can find a particular streaming application listed under each category that you might like better than others. Some applications might not always be available. With constant updates, some applications may discontinue uploading streams. Therefore, your favorite streaming application may disappear without notice and you’ll have to find a new one. In this case, the simplified BTV search, explained earlier, would come in handy.

HOW TO...START A STREAM

After you’ve searched and found a video you would like to watch, you’re probably wondering how to play it.

Once you’ve found a video you want to watch, select it. The BTVi3 Box will begin loading stream services for that video to choose from. Some of them will be of better quality than others so you will have to go through and choose one that suits you.

DIFFERENCES IN STREAM QUALITY: Various streams will have differences in quality based on what format they were uploaded to their respective servers at. This is indicated by a notation next to each stream. “CAM” is a very low-quality stream that is most likely an upload taken from a camcorder video. We do not recommend watching one of these streams due to the quality being so poor that it is nearly unwatchable. “SD” is a stream in standard-definition. While not nearly as bad as a “CAM” stream, an “SD” stream is also a lower quality stream but is easier to watch and may not be as difficult to watch as a “CAM” stream. “HD” is a stream in high-definition, and is in 720p. A good majority of streams are at this resolution and are HDTV quality. “1080” is an extremely clear high-quality stream. Videos of this resolution are most likely DVD or Blu-ray rips and have been uploaded at that same quality.

Page 22

User’s Guide

HOW TO...START A STREAM (Continued)

To play a stream, simply highlight one using the directional buttons on your remote and press the “OK” button. The stream will load and begin playing.

Sometimes the stream might not play right away, and the BTVi3 Box does not necessarily give notice to the status of if a stream is going to play. In this case, you may need to be patient. Some streams may take a while to begin. This could be caused by various reasons, such as a poor stream from the server, a bad Internet connection, or needing to “Clear the Cache”. “Clearing the Cache” can be explained on the next page.

Page 23

User’s Guide

HOW TO...CLEAR THE CACHE

The “Cache” is a temporary storage space or memory that allows fast access to data, similar to “Cookies” on a web browser. Opening stream after stream uses up more and more memory. If you notice your BTVi3 Box being slow to load streams, you may need to “Clear the Cache” of all the previous video data stored in its memory. To do this is very simple. Under the “Settings” category of the sidebar menu, there is a “Clear the Cache” link.

Using the directional pad on your remote, select “Clear the Cache”. On the “Raw Maintenance” screen, select “Clear Cache”. A pop-up will appear asking if you want to “Delete Temp Files”, and you will select “Yes”.

After the BTVi3 Box “Clears the Cache”, a pop-up will appear saying it is done. Select “OK”. You have now cleared your Cache and your BTVi3 Box should run smoothly once again.

This is a step that should be done after watching several different streams. You will notice a slow-down of your BTVi3 Box’s performance after watching so many streams, that will be your clue to Clear the Cache.

HOW TO...ACCESS THE PLAYBACK CONTROL RIBBON

FEATURES OF THE PLAYBACK CONTROL RIBBON (From Left to Right)

During the playback of your stream, you may want to fast forward or rewind or stop your stream. You may notice that these controls are not on your remote. Not to worry, the BTVi3 Box has an on-screen “Playback Control Ribbon”. To access it, during the playback of your stream, press the directional pad select button on your remote. The ribbon will appear across the top of the screen.

Page 25

User’s Guide

HOW TO...PAUSE OR STOP A STREAM

If you want to pause or stop the playback of a stream, it does take a little more than just pressing the “Return” button. Pressing the “Return” button on your remote will take you back to the previous menu, while the stream continues to play in the background. To pause the playback, press the directional pad select button on your remote to open the “Playback Control Ribbon”. From there, select the “Play/Pause” icon.

To pause the playback, press the directional pad select button on your remote to open the “Playback Control Ribbon”. From there, select the “Stop” icon. This will stop playback and return you to the previous menu.

Page 26

User’s Guide

HOW TO...MATCH AUDIO TO VIDEO

Some streams, especially those of lower quality, may have issues with the audio not matching up with what is on the screen. This can be a distraction and make the viewing experience an unpleasant one. To adjust this, during playback, press the directional pad select button on your remote to open the “Playback Control Ribbon”. From there, select the speaker icon. This is where you can adjust your audio settings.

Under the audio menu, select “Audio Offset”. From there, there will be a slider you can move left or right based on how far ahead or behind the audio is from the video. It may take some trial and error to get the audio matched up perfectly, so please have some patience.

HOW TO...ADD A STREAM TO YOUR FAVORITES

If you find a particular stream or category that you like and you don’t want to have to go searching for it again, you can add it to your “Favorites”. Simply highlight the video on the menu, and press the “Options Menu” button on your remote. There will be a pop-up, and one of the choices will be “Add to Favorites”. Select that and the video will be added to your “Favorites” section.

To access your “Favorites”, go to the “Favorites” category on the sidebar menu and select it. There, you will find all the videos and streams that you added in one location!
