SETUP AND INSTALLATION

1. Getting @TV connected to your home network

The @TV setup software for PC and Mac is the best way to configure @TV.
Visit http://www.belkin.com/mytveverywhere to download the software.

a. Wir ed

i. Direct connection via an Ethernet cable will provide the

best possible performance for your @TV product. Simply
connect the cable to one of the open ports on your
broadband-connected network router and then to the
Ethernet port on your @TV.

ii. If you have trouble getting your @TV to connect with your

router, first make sure that the network cables are attached
properly to both devices. Then try restarting your router or
cable/DSL modem: unplug the devices for 30 seconds, plug
them back in, and they should find one another.

b. Wireless
i. In order to get your @TV onto your home wireless network,

follow the directions in the setup soft ware.

ii. If your router is WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) enabled, you

can also follow your router’s instructions for how to connect
devices to it using that feature; this will not always work
for all router/@TV combinations, but should work for most.
The red @TV WPS button is located on the right side of the
product as you face it, just next to the USB ser vice port.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

c. Advanced network connections
@TV will use UPnP to configure our network connection. In some

cases you will need to use your router’s setup pages to change a

few settings.

i. Apple using 3G/4G

1. In order to access @TV on a 3G or 4G network using an
Apple product like an iPhone, you may need to modify
your Port Forwarding settings. These settings allow your
@TV app and your @TV box to connect through your
router by opening specific ports (you can think of these
as door ways linking your @TV and your @TV apps). The

ii. Manual Port Forwarding settings

iii. More complex networks (NAT/firewall issues)

following section explains how to make those changes.

1. Open your router settings page and find the “Port
Forwarding” or “Virtual Servers” section (Belkin routers
call this “Virtual Servers”; most brands use the term
“Port Forwarding”).

2. Make the following setting changes on this page:

a. First open port 56123 for both UDP and TCP traffic
b. Then, open port 49177 to TCP traffic

3. Save the settings. Once these set tings are saved in your
router, you should have access to @TV on iOS devices
over a 3G or 4G connection.

1. In some cases your @TV may be behind more than one
router: apartment complexes with shared Internet services
or homes with Wi-Fi extenders or Wi-Fi bridges would
fall into this category. In these situations, you will need
to also configure the second router or firewall device
with the same Port Forwarding settings as above.

CONNECTING TO YOUR CABLE OR SATELLITE SET-TOP BOX

2. Connecting to your cable or satellite set-top box

a. Connections
i. Video inputs from your set-top box to your @TV: You can

connect your @TV to your cable or satellite box via composite
or component cables; we recommend component because
they provide better overall video quality.

ii. Audio inputs: your @TV has a traditional RCA-style

composite input available for both the right and left channels
of audio from your cable or satellite box.

iii. IR blasters (infrared) to control your set-top box: your @TV

comes with a set of IR blasters. These plug into the back of
the @TV and allow it to send IR commands to your cable or
satellite box, just like your home remote control. Identifying
where your cable or satellite box receives the commands
from its remote control will help you place them in the
optimal location.

b. Video pass-through

i. This feature is useful only if you currently have your cable

box connected to your home TV with the same connections
that you would like to use for your @TV; it allows you to
directly pass the input video from your cable or satellite
box through the @TV to your home T V. If you have your T V
connected to your cable or satellite box via HDMI and have
free component or composite connections, you have no need
to use the video out connections.

c. Other issues

i. HDMI syncing

In rare cases, certain cable or satellite boxes automatically

disable analog outputs like the ones @TV uses whenever
an HDMI enabled device (like an HDTV ) is connected to
them; this is because that particular cable or satellite box
manufacturer has chosen to enable advanced content
protection protocols that are triggered by your T V/STB
combination. The best workaround is to utilize @TV’s HD
pass-through feature and take the 1080i component cable
signal from your cable or satellite box and pass it through to
your television. This will enable you to enjoy @TV and also
watch your cable or satellite on your HDT V in 1080i qualit y.

ii. Audio troubleshooting

If you are experiencing distortion or another audio issue,
please check to make sure that the cables connecting your
cable or satellite box to your @TV are attached correctly.
Turning on your TV to listen to the audio and switching to
other channels will help you pinpoint whether it is an issue
with the broadcast or something else.

to @TV and toggle between these inputs
in your App. However, as there is only one
audio input, you would need to either listen in
mono (dedicate the left channel to one device
and the right to the other device) or purchase
an audio splitter separately.
