Chapter Two: Connecting your ReplayTV
13
Checking your satellite receiver
ReplayTV receives broadcast signals from satellite receivers via S-video or A/V cables.
ReplayTV can send channel-changing signals to your satellite receiver via the supplied
serial cable or IR blaster. It is recommend that you connect your ReplayTV to your satel-
lite receiver using a serial cable. If your satellite receiver does not use serial cable, please
use the IR blaster.
If the remote control for your satellite receiver has a “UHF” label, or if your satellite
receiver uses a small antenna, your satellite receiver is radio controlled. ReplayTV does
not support radio-controlled receivers. Please check your receiver’s owner’s manual to see
if serial or infrared controls are supported.
Connecting ReplayTV to a home network
If you have an Ethernet-based home network, you can connect ReplayTV to your home
network using the built-in Ethernet port at 10/100Mbps. This connection will allow you to
send shows from one ReplayTV to another ReplayTV via the Internet, stream video from
one ReplayTV to another in your home, and transfer photos between your PC and
ReplayTV.
An Ethernet connection is needed to download the Channel Guide.
When you turn on ReplayTV for the first time, you will follow the Quick Setup process.
During this initial setup stage, ReplayTV will attempt to get an IP address. If one is found,
it will be used. If an IP address is not found, a screen will be presented to allow you to
enter the network information manually. The required network information is: IP Address,
Subnet, Gateway, and DNS Server.
