Broadway Setup for Live TV over
the Internet (optional)
Now that you have successfully installed Broadway for live TV
over your home network, you may want to set it up to watch
live TV over the Internet.
To do so, complete the following two steps
Step 1: Link Broadway and your
Mobile Client Device to the
distan.tv
Server
Your client device needs to know the "phone number" of
Broadway in your home. Technically speaking, this is the
IP address of your home Internet connection. By linking your
client device to
distan.tv
the IP address of your home Internet
connection will be stored on your client device. This way it is
easier for your client device to find your Broadway when
accessing it via the Internet.
N
ote
:
To link your client device make sure an Internet
connection is available and the client device is
connected to your home network.
•
Open the web browser and go to
http://distan.tv
.
•
In the Broadway login screen enter your password.
•
Click on the “
i
” button in the upper right corner.
•
On the Broadway homepage, click the
Create bookmark page
button.
•
Add the upcoming page to your
Favorites (Bookmarks)
in your web browser.
•
Repeat the procedure to link as many client devices as
you like.
N
ote
:
to access
http://distan.tv
via the saved bookmark
you have to use the same web browser you used
to create the bookmark on your client device.
Step 2: Map a Port on your Router
The second requirement for Broadway TV streaming, is the
so-called 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.
N
ote
:
The default port used by Broadway is 80.
You can use a different port as well. For details refer
to the user’s guide at
http://distan.tv/manuals
.
•
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.
N
ote
:
You can find examples on how to configure port
mapping on common router models in our online
knowledge base at
http://distan.tv/manuals
or send your
personal request to
router

N
ote
:
Make sure the chosen communication port of your
router is mapped and your client device is connected
to the Internet and linked to
distan.tv
.
•
Open the web browser on your client device.
•
Select
the
Broadway Bookmark
.
•
In the now opened page click the
Connect
button.
•
Log in and enjoy Live TV via Internet.
Recording – Getting Started
Use one of the three Broadway USB ports to connect a USB
hard- or flash memory- drive and start recording your
favourite TV shows.
You can instantly record the show you are watching or
schedule a recording.
In order to start recording you first have to setup your USB
hard- or flash-drive for usage with Broadway.
This setup is performed from your client device.
To do so, proceed as follows:
•
Connect the USB drive to one of Broadway’s USB ports.
•
Make sure Broadway is powered on and both Broadway
and the client device are connected to your network and
to the Internet.
•
In the URL-field of your web-browser type in
http://distan.tv
.
•
Open
the
Admin >
Storage > Prepare
page.
•
Now all available USB drives and their partitions will be
displayed.
N
ote
:
Broadway currently supports two file systems:
FAT 32 and JFS.
•
If the partition you want to use for recording has a file
system that is not supported by Broadway you will be
asked to re-format the partition.
N
ote
:
formatting will delete all existing data on the
partition.
Therefore make sure to save your data before formatting.
•
In the pop-up dialog select the desired file system
FAT 32
supported by Windows operating systems.
JFS
supported by Linux operating systems.
•
After the partition has been formatted, from the Broadway
menu open the
Admin > Storage > Select
page.
•
From
the
Recording Storage
dropdown menu select the
USB drive or the partition you want to record onto.
•
Broadway prepares the selected drive for recording.
Do not unplug the USB drive, while the red USB LED on
the front panel blinks.
N
ote
:
you can only set one storage device for
capturing your recordings.
If you have several USB drives connected to Broadway,
Broadway will automatically capture your recordings to
the USB drive most recently used for recording or to the
last one you manually defined for capturing.
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
.
