Connecting with a cable or satellite set-top box (STB)
You can connect your Giga Pocket
®
system to cable service access that uses a set-top box (cable or satellite). When using
the set-top box (STB) setup, you can only change channels through the STB, using its controls or supplied remote control.
When using the STB setup:
The Giga Pocket remote control cannot be used to change TV channels. You can use the Giga Pocket remote control
to set Giga Pocket software to the appropriate channel-out number (channel 3, 4, etc.) or to the direct video input
specified by your cable or satellite service provider.
A standard TV remote control cannot be used to change TV channels. You can use your TV remote control to set the
TV to the channel-out number (channel 3, 4, etc.) or direct video input specified by your cable or satellite service
provider.
You may be able to use a universal remote control or commander to change TV channels, if the device is able to
control the STB.
Cable/satellite service, equipment, and features, may vary between service providers. Contact your cable or satellite
service provider for details on using STB equipment and accessories.
