8 Page 6 User s Guide INSTALLATION CONNECTING YOUR BTV (Continued) STEP 3: Turn on TV and switch to corresponding INPUT (HDMI/AV). Using either your remote or the power button on the BTV Box, turn on your BTV box. The BTV Box will begin powering up, which may take several minutes. The BTV Home screen should appear after power-up. FEATURES OF THE HOME SCREEN Your BTV Box is a device that uses an Android operating system. So much like an Android phone or tablet, your BTV Box will come pre-loaded with some applications, some of which are featured on the home screen. TOP OF THE SCREEN SEARCH BAR: This is your Google Search Bar. Here you can search for anything on the Internet without having to open your web browser. It is just like doing a regular search on Google.com, but easier. BOTTOM OF THE SCREEN (from Left to Right) GOOGLE CHROME: This is your pre-loaded web browser. This is where you will be able to access the Internet. NETFLIX: This is where, if you have a Netflix subscription, you will be able to access your account and stream videos from it. GOOGLE PLAY STORE: This is where you will able to download applications to use on your BTV, in addition to the ones already on it. BTV APP: This is where you will access the content and features of the BTV Media Player. APPLICATIONS: In addition to what is on your home screen, this is where you will be able to access all of your applications on your BTV Box. SPEED TEST: This is where you will be able to test your Internet connection and make sure you are getting the optimal speeds need to stream videos on your BTV Box. FACEBOOK: This is where, if you have an account, you can access Facebook, just like you would on a mobile device. SKYPE: This is where, if you have access to a web camera, you would be able to communicate with someone using a video stream. SETTINGS: This is where you will be able to access the settings for your BTV Box, including setting up an Internet connection, which will be explained on the next page.

9 COAXIAL OPTICAL VIDEO L R HDMI LAN DC 12V User s Guide Page 7 INSTALLATION ETHERNET vs WIRELESS CONNECTION Now that you have your BTV 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 BTV 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 you BTV 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 BTV 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 BTV 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 Signal Test application on your Home screen. CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET WITH A WIRED CONNECTION (RECOMMENDED) (For Wireless Connection instructions, go to Page 9.) STEP 1: Connect Ethernet Cable (not included) from the LAN port on the BTV Box to an available port on a LAN switch, router (pictured), or networked wall plate. STEP 2: From the Home screen, using the directional buttons on your remote, go to Settings (far right icon).

10 Page 8 User s Guide INSTALLATION CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET WITH A WIRED CONNECTION (Continued) STEP 3: Under Settings, go to Wireless & Networks and select Ethernet. STEP 4: In the upper-right corner, make sure Ethernet is switched to ON. STEP 5: Under Local Network Settings, select DHCP and your BTV Box will automatically connect to your network. (To continue installation, skip to Page 11.)

11 User s Guide Page 9 INSTALLATION CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET WITH A WIRELESS CONNECTION (Only if not using a Wired Connection. Skip to Page 11 to continue installation.) STEP 1: From the Home screen, using the directional buttons on your remote, go to Settings (far right icon). STEP 2: Under Settings, using the directional buttons on your remote, go to Wireless & Networks and select Wi-Fi. STEP 3: In the upper-right corner, make sure Wi-Fi is switched to ON.

12 Page 10 User s Guide INSTALLATION CONNECTING TO THE INTERNET WITH A WIRELESS CONNECTION (Continued) STEP 4: Under Wi-Fi, using the directional buttons on your remote, select your wireless router. STEP 5: From there, using the directional buttons on your remote and the on-screen keyboard, proceed to enter your router s password. After you ve entered your password, select Connect. After confirming your wireless router s settings, your BTV Box will be connected to your network. (Proceed to Page _ to continue installation.)

13 User s Guide Page 11 INSTALLATION UPDATING THE BTV APPLICATION STEP 1: From the Home screen, using the directional buttons on your remote, open Applications (center icon). STEP 2: Under Applications, using the directional buttons on your remote, open up the BTVUpdater app (top row, second icon from the left).

14 Page 12 User s Guide INSTALLATION UPDATING THE BTV APPLICATION (Continued) STEP 3: Once the BTVUpdater app is opened, select the Download icon. The BTVUpdater will now begin downloading the latest version of the BTV App. Once the BTV Updater is finished downloading, it will automatically begin extracting to the BTV Box. This whole process of downloading and extracting takes approximately minutes, depending on your Internet connection. The BTV Box automatically updates after the initial installation, so this process should only have to be done once. Once the update is complete, you can return to the Home screen. FINAL STEP!!! From the Home screen, using the directional buttons on your remote, open up the BTV App (icon directly left of center). You can now enjoy all that the BTV Box has to offer!!!

You now have access to the largest collection of free entertainment content that the Internet has to offer, all on one device! Stream videos from all over the globe, from movies, to TV shows, to sports, and more! RECOMMENDATIONS: For an optimal streaming experience, we highly recommend a minimum Internet connection speed of 10 Mbps. While some low-quality streams may be viewable at as low as 6 Mbps, a minimum speed of 10 Mbps will allow for better quality streams and minimal buffering.

16 Page 14 User s Guide MENU BTV HORIZONTAL RIBBON The BTV Box uses a horizontal ribbon set-up for its navigation of its sections and features. For example, moving left or right will take you through the various categories of streams, such as Movies, TV Shows, Live TV, and Sports. Under each category, moving up and down will take you through that category s choices of streaming services, as well as its other menu options. Let s take a look at the different categories on the horizontal ribbon!

21 User s Guide Page 19 MENU FAVORITES Access all your favorite streams in one location without having to search for them again! Just add them to your Favorites when you view them. TIPS FOR CHOOSING STREAM APPLICATIONS Tryng 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 BTV 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 center image, there you will find applications that BTV has chosen as their best available streams 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. For example, for movies and TV shows, we suggest using Exodus. They have a wide variety of current streams that are usually of great quality. 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.

22 Page 20 User s Guide 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 choose a video, by pressing the OK button on your remote, you will be given options of streams 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 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.

23 User s Guide Page 21 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 BTV Box does not necessarily give notice to the status of if a stream is going to play. In this 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.

24 Page 22 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 BTV 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 each category of the horizontal ribbon menu, there is a Clear the Cache link. Using the directional buttons on your remote, select Clear the Cache by pressing the OK button. A pop-up will appear asking if you want to Delete XBMC Temp Files, you will select Yes. This prompt will appear one more time to delete additional files, and you will select Yes again. After these two steps are done, you will have cleared your Cache and your BTV 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 BTV Box s performance after watching so many streams, that will be your clue to Clear the Cache.

25 User s Guide Page 23 HOW TO... ACCESS THE PLAYBACK CONTROL RIBBON During the playback of your stream, you may want to fast forward or rewind or stop your stream. You may notice that some of these controls are not on your remote. Not to worry, the BTV Box has an on-screen Playback Control Ribbon. To access it, during the playback of your stream, press the OK button on your remote. The ribbon will appear across the top of the screen. FEATURES OF THE PLAYBACK CONTROL RIBBON (From Left to Right) ELAPSED TIME COUNTER: This displays the amount of time that has passed into the playback, and also what time the stream was started.

27 User s Guide Page 25 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, simply press the Play/Pause button on your remote. Press the button again to resume playback. Or you can open the Playback Control Ribbon by pressing the OK button on your remote. From there, select the Play/Pause icon. To stop the stream, during playback, press the OK button. On the Playback Control Ribbon select the Stop icon. This will stop playback and return you to the previous menu.

28 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 OK button on your remote. On the Playback Control Ribbon, 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.

29 User s Guide Page 27 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 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 horizontal ribbon menu and click on the center image. There, you will find all the videos and streams that you added in one location!

30 Page 28 User s Guide HOW TO... ADJUST THE CLOCK From the Home screen, using the directional buttons on your remote, go to Settings (gear icon). Under Settings, scroll down to System and select Date & Time. From there you can select to automatically adjust the date and time or do it yourself manually.
