Welcome!

Thank you for purchasing Broadway by Hauppauge Digital.
Please follow these instructions to quickly start streaming live
TV or TV recordings to virtually any PC and handheld device in
your network.

What is Broadway?

Broadway brings TV to your iOS or Android device (see

www.pctvsystems.com

for an up-to-date list of supported
devices). In addition you can record the TV program to a
connected USB mass storage device.
Broadway needs two things in order to operate:

1. A TV source for live TV – can come from an over-the-air

TV antenna (ATSC/ClearQAM transmission) or your cable
TV or satellite set top box for pay TV.

2. A connection to a network router in your home.

The connection can be wireless (Wi-Fi) or
wired (Ethernet).

Important Note

for Users without Internet Flat Rate

Broadway stays connected to our distan.tv server via
the Internet to make sure that you can easily reach your
Broadway - from your local network or the Internet.
If your Internet service provider is charging you by the minute
for Internet service, you should disable Broadway's Internet
access to avoid excessive connection charges.
To do so follow these steps:

• Open the web browser of your client device.

• Go to http://distan.tv

• Click on the Admin tab.

• Select Network > Advanced.

• Set the checkmark next to Use static IP address in the

LAN or WLAN section, depending on how Broadway is
connected to your router.

• Make sure that the respective field next to Gateway shows
the value 0.0.0.0.

Enjoy our Free App

Alternatively you can use Broadway also with our
WinTV Extend App:

• available as a free download from the iTunes App Store

• for iPad and iPhone

• TV in a window and full screen

• Playback of TV recordings

• Integrated program guide

• Easy scheduling of recordings

Step 2: Map a Port on your Router

The second requirement for Broadway TV streaming, is the so­called router “port forwarding/mapping".
"Port mapping" requires you to configure your home Internet
router and assign the internal IP address of your Broadway to a
chosen communication port.

ote: The default port used by Broadway is 80.

Yo

N

to the guide at www.hauppauge.com/pdfs/broadway1.pdf.

• To find the internal IP address of your Broadway, click the
“i” button in the upper right corner and write it down.

• In the web browser open the Settings pages of your router
menu (by typing for example 192.168.1.1) and assign to the
chosen communication port the internal IP address of your
Broadway.

Unfortunately, the setup of port forwarding/mapping differs
across the router brands. You will need to refer to your router’s
manual for further information.
