Connectivity Troubleshooting

Internet Connection Not Available / Audio Video Sharing Not Working
If the MAC address (a unique identifier number) of your PC or modem has been permanently registered, it is possible that your box might not connect to the internet. In such a case, the MAC address is authenticated each time when you connect to the internet. This is a precaution against unauthorized access. Since your box has its own MAC address, your internet service provider cannot validate the MAC address of your box. For this reason, your box cannot connect to the internet.
Contact your internet service provider and request information on how to connect a different device, such as your box, to the internet. It is also possible that the connection may not be available due to a firewall problem. If you think this causes your problem, contact your internet service provider. A firewall might be the reason of a connectivity and discovery problem while using the box in Audio Video Sharing mode or while browsing via Audio Video Sharing feature.
Invalid Domain Ensure that you have already logged on to your PC with an authorized username/password and also ensure that your domain is active, prior to sharing any files in your media server program on your PC. If the domain is invalid, this might cause problems while browsing files in Audio Video Sharing mode.

HBBTV System

HbbTV (Hybrid Broadcast Broadband TV) is a new industry standard that seamlessly combines TV services delivered via broadcast with services delivered via broadband and also enables access to Internet only services for consumers using connected TVs and set-top boxes. Services delivered through HbbTV include traditional broadcast TV channels, catch-up services, video-on- demand, EPG, interactive advertising, personalisation, voting, games, social networking and other multimedia applications.
HbbTV applications are available on channels where they are signalled by the broadcaster. The broadcaster marks one application as “autostart” and this one is started by the platform automatically. The autostart applications are generally launched with a small red button icon to notify the user that there is an HbbTV application on that channel. The shape and the location of the red button depends on the application. The red button may displayed for a certain amount of time and then may disappear. Press the Red button on the remote to open the application page. After the page is displayed you can go back to the initial red button icon state by pressing the red button again. You can toggle between the Red button icon mode and full UI mode of the application via pressing the Red button. It should be noted that the red button switching capability is provided by the application and some application may behave differently. If you switch to another channel while an HbbTV application is active (either in red button icon mode or full UI mode), the following scenarios can occur.

  • The application can continue running.
  • The application can be terminated.
  • The application can be terminated and another autostart red button application can be launched.

HbbTV allows the applications to be retrieved both from broadband or broadcast. The broadcaster may enable both ways or one of them. If the platfrom does not have an operational broadband connection, the platform can still launch applications transmitted on broadcast.
The autostart red button applications generally provide links to other applications. The user then can switch to other applications by using the links provided. The applications should provide a way to terminate themselves, usually Exit button is used for this.
HbbTV applications use keys on the remote control to interact with the user. When an HbbTV application is launched, the control of some keys are owned by the application. For example, numeric channel selection may not work on a teletext application where the numbers indicate teletext pages.
HbbTV requires AV streaming capability for the platform. There are numerous applications providing VOD (video on demand) and catch-up TV services. The user can use play, pause, stop, forward, and rewind keys on the remote control to interact with the AV content.
Note: he availability of this feature depends on the country selection in the First Time Installation. If available, you can enable or disable this feature from the ore menu in System>Settings menu.
Displaying Teletext
Some channels have teletext pages broadcast along with the television programme. Press Text button to enter teletext pages (if available). Press again to activate mix mode, which allows you to see the teletext page and the TV broadcast at the same time. Press the Text button once more to exit. You can navigate through the teletext pages by using the directional buttons, OK button and the coloured buttons.
Note: If the subtitle is on, teletet page cannot be displayed.
