Change the Way You Watch TV

Welcome to Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). The UIW8 001 and UIW400 1 Ultra High-Defi nition Set-Top
Boxes bring a rich, new set of interactive services directly to you through your TV and your in-home IP network.

Available services may include some or all of the following features:

• Digital Video Recorder (DVR)—Allows you to record your favorite programs so that you can still go to
your friend’s house for dinner and not miss your favorite TV show

• Pause Live TV—Allows you to pay for the pizza and come back to the show where you left it (Applies
to DVR models only)

• Ultra high-definition (UHD) - Provides crystal-clear pictures and sound when compared to high­definition (HD) and standard-definition (SD) – you won’t want to watch television any other way once
you’ve experienced UHD

• Video-On-Demand (VOD)—Gives you access to a robust library of movies and programs that you
can watch – when you want to watch them

Note: Contact your service provider to find out if the DVR, HD, or VOD services are available and to
activate the services.
