If you have subscribed to the Wave Cable TV service, congratulations on upgrading your TV entertainment and welcome on board! After signing up, you must have been given the choice to either go for pro-installation or order a self-installation kit to set up your Wave HD-DTA Cable box.
While pro-installation sounds like a great idea to save yourself from the hassle of understanding all the technical mumbo-jumbo, choosing to self-install your HD-DTA Cable box might sound like a better option to if you’re tight on budget, or have the confidence and tech-skills to get it right.
If you are a DIY freak who chose to order a self-installation kit to set-up the Wave HD-DTA Cable Box yourself, you would need to wait for a couple of working days to get your hands on it before you roll up your sleeves and get to work.
Once the Wave shipment with the self-install kit arrives at your doorstep, you can follow the simple steps given below, and easily set it up all by yourself.
The HD-DTA Cable box that’s shipped to you by Wave, along with other set-up essentials, is a small yet high-quality black box that swiftly converts all signals to let you watch your favorite TV content in a digital format.
Setting up the Wave HD-DTA box is nothing complicated, quite like building IKEA furniture from scratch. If you follow all the instructions correctly, the whole process isn’t going to take hours nor will it leave you with numb fingers or mind.
So, let’s not keep you waiting and dive right into the instructions, shall we?
First things first, open the self-install kit that you just received and check if you have all the equipment listed below:
• HD-DTA Cable box
• Coaxial cable
• Remote control & Batteries
• HDMI cable
• Power cord
Examine your TV outputs to find out if you need to connect the HD-DTA with an HDMI cable or a coaxial cable.
• If you have a Standard Definition Television (SDTV) you will use a coaxial cable.
• In case you have an HDTV you will be using an HDMI cable.
Next, find the cable wall outlet nearest to your TV set.
Look for the port labeled as “Cable IN” at the back of the HD-DTA box and plug the cable from the wall into that port.
In case you have an HDTV, you need to connect your TV set with an HDMI cable like so—
• Find the port labeled as “HDMI” on your HD-DTA and connect one end of the HDMI cable to it.
• Next, look for an HDMI port on the back or front of your HDTV, and plug-in the other end of your HDMI cable.
• Take a note of the HDMI port you are using as you will be needing this information later.
• Now, grab the power cord and connect it to a secure electrical outlet.
• After that, connect the DC input behind the HD-DTA box.
• Then, pick up your HDTV’s remote control and switch the HDTV to HDMI input to finally connect your Wave HD-DTA Cable box.
If you have an SDTV, you will be using a coaxial cable to connect your TV set by following the steps given below:
• Grab the coaxial cable and join one of its ends to the port that’s labeled as “TO TV” on your HD-DTA.
• Look for an input that says “COAXIAL INPUT” or “CABLE IN” and connect the other end of your coaxial cord to this port on your TV.
• Next, plug in the power cord to the closest electrical outlet and connect the DC input behind the HD-DTA cable box.
• The HD-DTA can work on either channel 3 or channel 4 on your TV, so choose the one that you would like to use.
• You might need to change your SDTV’s input to “CABLE” or “COAXIAL”using the remote control.
