Cable
If you have cable television but no cable box, select your cable service provider. If your cable service is not listed on
the screen, send mail to [email protected] or call 1-888-843-9788.
Cable box
If you have a cable box connected to the Hard Disk Recorder, select your cable service provider. You will also need
to connect and position the IR blaster that came with the Hard Disk Recorder. This is required so the Hard Disk
Recorder can change the channels on your cable box. Once the IR blaster is positioned, you will need to enter the
proper setup code for your cable box. See “Connecting and Setting Up the IR Blaster” on page 17.
DIRECTV
If you are not using a serial connector, you will need to connect and position the IR blaster that came with the Hard
Disk Recorder. This is required so the Hard Disk Recorder can change the channels on your DIRECTV receiver. Once
the IR Blaster is positioned, you will need to enter the proper setup code for your DIRECTV receiver. If you will be using
the supplied IR blaster to control your receiver, see “Connecting and Setting Up the IR Blaster” on page 17.
DISH Network™
If you have a DISH Network receiver connected to the Hard Disk Recorder, you will need to connect and position
the IR blaster that came with the Hard Disk Recorder. This is required so the Hard Disk Recorder can change the
channels on your DISH Network receiver. Once the IR blaster is positioned, you will need to enter the proper setup
code for your DISH Network receiver. See “Connecting and Setting Up the IR blaster” on page 17.
Completing the IR Blaster Setup
After you have connected the IR blaster, you need to provide the Hard Disk
Recorder with the setup code for your cable box or satellite receiver. This is
the final step in ensuring the Hard Disk Recorder and your cable box or
