2. Hardware Connection

1) Connect the included power adapter to MOI

2) Connect satellite signal cable to Tuner A or Tuner B.
If you want to connect two satellite signal inputs to both Tuner A and Tuner B, the signal inputs
should be from different LNBs unless you’re using dual/quad LNB. MOI has dual DVB S2 tuner,
thus it enables you to receive channels from two separate transponders simultaneously.

3) Connect MOI via the included RJ45 Network cable to your router or switch.

4) Connect MOI via RS232 slot to the computer. This connection is not a MUST, it is only
recommended for those who want to add or edit the imbedded software on MOI.

3. Software Installation and Configuration (for Windows/ Linux/ Android/ iOS)

MOI box serves as a dual DVB-S2 tuner Linux system backend TV source with Tvheadend, DVBlast,
mumuDVB, szap, scan pre-installed.

You can set up Tvheadend by simply entering the IP address http://192.168.1.188:9981 on your
browser (or if you have changed MOI IP to another IP address, enter the respective IP address with
port 9981).
For watching/recording satellite TV on your client end devices, you can instal VLC, XBMC,TVHGuide
or other software on your client device, more information for how to use VLC, XBMC,TVHGuide for
streaming can be found on the download section of tbsdtv.com.

4. How To:

4.1. change IP address of MOI

The default IP address of MOI is 192.168.1.188, if this IP is not in your network IP range, you need to
either change MOI IP to your network IP range or change your network IP range to 192.168.1.XXX to
make MOI accessible.

Preparation

Step 1: Connect Ethernet port "LAN" of MOI to your network router or switch.
Step 2: If your router is not in IP range192.168.1.XXX, change your router IP to 192.168.1.1. Then
change your computer IP address to any IP address in the range 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.254 with
network mask 255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.1.1 as on the picture below:

Step 3: Now your computer, your router and MOI box are in the same IP range, you can connect to
MOI via SSH protocol1 or WUI (Web User Interface). To access MOI from WUI (Web User Interface).

SSH protocol:

login: root

Open the browser and enter the default IP address of MOI, which should be 192.168.1.188, then
you will see the window below:

Click “IP Setting”, Here you can enable or disable “DHCP”:
Enable DHCP (It’s not recommended unless you know exactly how to find your MOI IP later).

After you select “Enable”, you can click “save” directly, then MOI will receive a random IP address
from the Ethernet server, since it is dynamic, the realtime IP can’t be displayed, if you want to

check the new IP address, you will need to access the DHCP of your router settings, there you
can find MOI by looking for its Mac address.

Disable DHCP(It’s strongly recommended you check disable DHCP)
You can change the IP manually, simply change the default IP address”192.168.1.188” to any IP
address which is included in your Ethernet IP range. For example, if your previous network router
IP range is 192. 168.15.xxx and you want to keep using that IP range for your router and
computers in the network, you can simply change MOI IP to the IP range of 192.168.15.xxx ,set
subnet Mask to what you’re currently using(normally 255.255.255.0) and set Gateway to your
router IP address. Click “save”, then your MOI box will be assigned with the new IP. Remember
this IP, you need to input this IP to connect to MOI each time. Now you may change back your
computer IP address and router IP address.

4.2. Upgrade The System

To perform a system upgrade, you can either use a micro SD card, or update directly through the
WUI (Web User Interface).

1) Use a miscro SD card to update:

 prepare a formatted FAT32 file system micro SD card.
 download the latest firmware from www.tbsdtv.com, copy the files from the firmware

package to the micro SD card.

 power off MOI, insert the micro SD card to the “Micro SD” slot at the back of the MOI box.
 power on MOI, the upgrade will start automatically and the LED light “Tuner A” at the front

stays flashing until the upgrade is complete, then power off MOI disconnecting the mains,
take the micro SD card out and reboot MOI to finish the whole procedure.

2) Update through WUI (Web User Interface)

Open WUI by entering the default IP adress192.168.1.188 (or your own MOI IP address
after you’ve changed it) in the browser, go to “Update”, select and upload the files to
proceed with the update.

Note: this method applies only to MOI with firmware version 1.2 or later; for MOI with
firmware version 1.0 and 1.1, update through a micro SD card is the only method.

4.3. Restore To The Default Settings

To perform a reset, power off MOI, then use a pen tip or bent paperclip to depress the reset slot
and at the same time power on MOI, keep depressing until MOI is powered on.
