The Moxi system then automatically adjusts the video output to match the broadcast format and the selections set in the TV Setup card. The video resolution options are 480i (non-HDTV), 480p, 720p (default), 1080i, and 1080p.
Aspect Ratio Use the Aspect Ratio card in Settings to control how programming content appears on your TV. For standarddefinition (SD) TVs, choose Standard (4:3) only. For Widescreen TVs, determine how standard content displays on your TV by first choosing Widescreen (16:9) and then selecting maintain (displays standard content as-is), or stretch (stretches the standard content to fill the TV screen).
External Hard Drive Moxi Settings The external hard drive option in the Settings category is used to install an eSATA external drive for additional recorded TV storage space. See the Installation chapter for instructions on installing an external drive. EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE You may connect one external hard drive at a time to the rear eSATA port on the Moxi system.
Channel List All of the channels available for you to tune (either via a CableCARD or cable-only) are displayed in Channel List in the Settings category. You can remove channels from displaying in the Moxi Menu by scrolling to the desired channel and pressing OK to select or de-select the channel. If a channel appears in your Channel List that you do not subscribe to, you can also remove it in this way.
CableCARD™ The CableCARD option displays important information about the installed CableCARD. You may need to provide some of this information to your cable service provider while provisioning your CableCARD. Press OK to view the details.

Ventilation To prevent overheating of the Moxi device, allow adequate ventilation and airflow around the Moxi system. The Moxi system requires at least a two-inch (5cm) clearance on top and all sides, with airflow to the rear. CableCARD Setup Instructions The Quick Start Guide outlines the basic and most common way to setup Moxi HD DVR with CableCARD. For additional CableCARD setup instructions visit the support section on www.moxi.
TV Signal Configuration Alternatives The Moxi HD DVR requires a cable TV signal; over-the-air TV and satellite signals are not supported. Analog Tuners Depending on the model, the Moxi HD DVR has two or three digital tuners. Your cable service provider may broadcast channels only in an analog signal. If you’re missing channels you expect to receive, do the following to determine whether they may be analog only: 1. Sign in to your account at moxi.com 2. Under the account menu, choose Support. 3.
Switched Digital Video Some cable service providers use a broadcast technology in particular areas called Switched Digital Video. If you live in a Switched Digital Video location, your Moxi HD DVR can now receive Switched Digital Video channels. To get these channels, you need to request a Switched Digital Video Tuning adapter from your cable service provider. (Fees for the Switched Digital Video Tuning adapter are determined by your cable service provider.
Will SDV affect recordings? Configuration Alternatives Moxi will automatically advise your cable service provider, via the SDV Tuning adapter, whenever an SDV channel is being used for a recording, thus preventing the SDV channel from being reclaimed. Setup Without CableCARD Channel Scanning If you set up a Moxi HD DVR without a CableCARD inserted, you’ll be asked during the onscreen setup process to conduct a scan for tunable channels.
Video Connection We recommend using an HDMI cable to connect Moxi to your TV because it provides both HD video and digital audio with one cable. SATA CableCARD -- M-Card Only Y Pb Pr Video L R Ethernet COAX AC Input: 100-120V~ 50-60 Hz 1.8 A Max. IR Out Cable In Serial S-Video Digital Audio Out USB 2.0 HDMI Port If you have an HD TV that does not have an HDMI input, connect your component cable or an HDMI to DVI cable. If you have an SD TV, connect the S-Video cable.
A/V DELAYS Digital TVs have a noticeable delay in audio decoding, formatting, and preparing the video for the display. Using the TV speaker output for the Moxi system output results in an audio delay to the speaker. If you use both the speaker and the Moxi system output, you get a noticeable echo or worse delay effect. To avoid the delay and echo effects, We recommend using the TV’s audio output or the Moxi system’s audio output, but do not use both, simultaneously.

Broadband Internet Connection Configuration Alternatives A wired connection with an Ethernet network cable is the easiest way to connect Moxi to Broadband Internet access. Powerline AV Ethernet Adapter If you do not have an Ethernet connection close to your Moxi HD DVR, you have the option of using Powerline AV Ethernet adapters. Powerline AV adapters will use your electrical wiring as a transmission medium. Connect one adapter to your modem with a Ethernet cable, and plug it into an outlet.

When using the arrow buttons to navigate the electronic program guide, these channels appear in order in the channels listing. To button-press directly to these subchannels, use the jump button (which also has a dot) on the number pad to represent the decimal point.
Media Link Feature Setup Media Link allows you to stream media from your computer to your Moxi HD DVR. Because Media Link is DLNA-based, it is completely plug and play; once you have connected your computer and Moxi HD DVR to a wired home network router and installed a DLNA server on your computer, you should see that computer listed in the Media Link category of the Moxi Menu.
Setup Details For Media Link to function properly, make sure that: • Your Moxi HD DVR is not connected through a Virtual Private Network(VPN) tunnel • Your computer is set up to share content according to your server’s instructions • Your server software is not blocked by a Firewall Internet Video With your Moxi HD DVR and a subscription to PlayOn Premium from MediaMall Technologies, your TV becomes a theater for online video content.
