Installation for TV

For Scientific Atlanta/Samsung models

STEP 1

 • connect digital cable box

Connect the coaxial cable from the wall to the 
“Cable in” on the back of your digital cable box  
or HD digital cable box.

Note:

 If you have a Scientific Atlanta digital cable box,  

insert the SmartCard. The SmartCard will only partially insert.  
Once the SmartCard is inserted, please DO NOT REMOVE.

STEP 2

 • connect digital cable box to TV

High Definition

If using an HDMI cable, connect the cable from the  
HDMI port on the back of the digital cable box to the back  
of the HDTV. If using component cables (red, blue and green)  
and audio cables (red and white) connect them from the  
HD digital cable box to the back of the TV into the spot for  
the specified colors.

Or

Standard Definition

Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the “Ch 3/4 out”  
on the digital cable box and the other end to the  
“VHF/UHF” or “antenna in” on your TV.

To assure best picture quality, hand tighten each  
coaxial cable connector then use the wrench included  
to make sure the cable connections are secure.

STEP 3

 • connect the power

Plug the power for the TV and the digital cable box  
into the wall outlet or surge protector. The blue light on  
the front of the box will indicate the power is on.  
Press the power button in the lower left corner of  
the box if not on. 

Note: 

For added protection, use a surge protector.

STEP 4

 • setup completion

Activation begins automatically and a series of numbers and letters will display on the LED screen on the front of 
your digital cable box. Once “turn” and “on” alternates on the LED screen every 3 seconds, turn on your digital 
cable box; a blue light will indicate the power is on. Make sure your TV is on and you will see a grey screen that says 
“Please wait, we are preparing the service for you.” When the correct time displays on the LED screen, wait up to 15 
minutes to be sure service is fully activated. 

Stop here and proceed to page 8 if you’re installing your internet and/or phone services. If you’re activating your 
TV service only, continue to following step.

STEP 5

 • activate your TV service

Use this method to activate your TV service only. If you’re also installing internet and phone  
services, go to page 8 now.

Read the General Terms & Conditions of Service, starting on page 12.

Call 1-855-PLAY-NOW (1-855-752-9669).

When prompted, enter “Activation” code, included in the Terms and Conditions on page 14.

Activation of service will begin. Make sure your TV is on.

While the activation is in progress, do not unplug or power down any of the equipment.

When you’re able to see all the channels you are subscribed to, your service is working and activation is complete.

STEP 6

 • set picture format (Samsung only)

The default picture format setting on the Samsung HD digital cable box is 480i, the best SD setting. In order to get the 
best display for your HDTV, press the settings button on your remote twice to get the full settings menu. Use the arrow 
keys and highlight HD Settings and press SEL, then highlight Display Resolution and press SEL. Scroll to 1080i (best 
HD), and press SEL. You’re now ready to enjoy your favorite programming in HD.
