Why is SDTV video not streaming? • Check the STATUS indicator LED in the adapter connected to the STB. • If the indicator is RED this means that the PLC link is not able to play an SDTV streaming. • Try to reposition the adapter into another outlet in order to obtain an ORANGE or GREEN indication.
5. Why is HDTV video not streaming? • Check the status indicator LED in the adapter connected to the set top box (STB). • If the indicator is RED or ORANGE this means that the Powerline link is not able to stream HDTV. • Try to reposition the adapter in another outlet in order to obtain a GREEN indication. • If the indicator is GREEN, it should now be able to play a HDTV video.
10. How can I check that my Powerline Adapters are working properly? • Your Powerline Adapters are set to work together as a pair, and should work perfectly out of the box. The best way to test them is to find a double plug socket, and plug them in next to each other. Often the best place to find a double plug socket is in your kitchen. Alternatively plug them into a trailing extension strip (but not an anti-surge strip).
