Broadcast television programming can then be received and transcoded on the DCX3600-M and
streamed via the in-home wireless network to the handheld device where it can be viewed by
the subscriber. The handheld devices must be connected to the in-home WiFi network; a cellular
data connection (such as 3G/4G/LTE) will not allow the subscriber to browse and watch content
available from the DCX3600-M.
Handheld Device Software
The wireless video device(s) must have the appropriate software to discover the DCX3600-M on
the home network and request broadcast television content from it. The device may require an
upgrade to an appropriate OS (such as Android or iOS) version. In addition, it will also likely
require the download and installation of a specific application as required by the cable service
provider from the appropriate application marketplace for the device.
