The installation of a set-top box is relatively easy. If you purchased or rented one from your cable company or Internet Service Provider, the directions that came with it should guide you through the process. If you have built your own it is a little more complex, but just as straight-forward. Here are few tips to get you on your way to installing a set-top box.
Instructions
1. Choose a network that has interactive television capabilities and services. Telephone and cable companies provide interactive television capabilities in most areas.
2. Connect your set- top box to the network of your choosing so it can communicate with the servers.
3. Install the tuner and Personal Video Recorder (PVR) that you feel will best work with your box. There are many online sources to help you find good tuner and PVR software for your system.
4. Find and install quality buffer and synchronization software for your video hardware. Check with the maker of your video card and CPU to find the recommended software for their equipment. You can also check online to see what other resources are recommended.
