Getting Started
TURN TV ON/OFF
Your set-top box, network hardware, and TV should be connected and plugged in.
To turn TDS TV on:
1. Turn on your TV set.
2. Press the POWER button on your TDS TV remote control.
The green LED will light up when your set-top box is turned on. And, the LINK light on your set-top box
will glow solid green, indicating the set-top box is connected to the network. If the LINK light is not solid
green, check all the wires between the set-top box and Residential Gateway, ensuring they are secure.
And, make sure the Internet light on the gateway is green. If not, power cycle the gateway by unplug-
ging it for 10–30 seconds then plugging it back in. See the Troubleshooting section of this User Guide for
more details about power cycling. If that doesn’t help, contact TDS TV support for assistance at
1-866-44-TDSV (448-3788).
To turn TDS TV off:

ed by the blue screen that appears on your TV set.

Home Theatre System, and VCR.

remote control(s) you have, look at the logo at the bottom of your remote control.
