Converters 

How do I set up a converter box?
 

Before reviewing these diagrams, remember the most important thing to remember is that the CONVERTER should ALWAYS be FIRST in ANY configuration. Failure to have the CONVERTER FIRST could result in any 2-way operations (Pay Per View, Video On Demand) not working correctly.

Note: If you are connecting a computer that will act as a multimedia center, you may use the "DVR (PVR/TiVo...)" diagram providing that the computer has audio/video output jacks. If it does not (meaning that you will be viewing the TV programs on the computer monitor), the computer will take the place of the TV. See the "Proper Order for Hook Up" guide for more information.
