FibreWire TV-Getting Started

Getting your home ready for FibreWire TV

The following information will help you prepare your home for our new FibreWire TV experience:

• You’ll enjoy all of the new FibreWire TV features like Cloud DVR, Start Over and Favourites when your box is connected to our FibreWire Internet service. . If you don’t have our FibreWire Internet and want all of the FibreWire TV features, contact us and we’ll arrange an appointment for installation. Not interested? No problem. You’ll still be able to enjoy FibreWire TV to watch your favourite programs in brilliant HD.
• If your box is within 5 feet of your modem, we recommend connecting the two devices via an ethernet cord. A direct connection tends to be more reliable as your WiFi signal can be affected by factors such as appliances, distance and other devices on the same frequency.
• If you are connecting your OneBox media player to the internet via WiFi, you’ll need a strong 5G connection. If the WiFi signal in your home doesn’t provide sufficient coverage, contact us to learn about our OneHome WiFi solution.
• Please have your WiFi Network name and password ready. To recover your WiFi Password, click here. For OneHome WiFi customers, you can view your WiFi password from the eero App on your mobile device. Simply go to the Menu (top left) and choose Network Settings then select ‘Network Password’ to view.

Troubleshooting Your FibreWire TV Setup

I don’t know if my TV has HDMI ports.

Most HD TVs will have one or more HDMI ports. Generally, if you purchased your TV after 2008, it should be an HD TV with HDMI ports. HDMI ports are usually located on the back or on the side of the TV and will be labeled as “HDMI”.

I’ve forgotten my WiFi password.

You can recover your WiFi password by clicking and following the instructions. If you have Internet service with another company, please contact your ISP provider for assistance.

I don’t see my home WiFi network listed as an option to select when setting up my OneBox connection to the Internet

If you have FibreWire Internet, your missing WiFi network information may be caused by the following:

• You may not have a 5GHz modem. Contact us by dialing 700-7100 or visit our Church Street retail store in Hamilton to collect a compatible modem
• WiFi coverage may not be available in the immediate area where you are attempting to connect your OneBox. Our OneHome WiFi service is available to blanket your home with a seamless Internet connection. To learn more, click here.

If your Internet service is with a different Internet Service Provider:

Please contact your ISP to determine how you can improve your home WiFi to enable your OneBox media player to connect to the Internet.

In the event that you are unable to connect your OneBox to your home WiFi;

1. Select “Configure Later” as the Network connection type.
   Home Menu->Settings-> General->Network Configuration->Choose Configure Later
2. Dial 700-7000 so that we may assist with completing the setup of your OneBox media player.

The software update to the OneBox is taking too long

If the progress bar for the software update changes or has progressed beyond 0%, then the update is being performed. The software update may take up to 10 minutes.

If you notice the progress bar is stuck at 0% or more than 10 minutes has passed, please perform the following steps:

1. Check that the coax cable, (generally a white or black cable), from your wall is securely connected to your OneBox. If it is not, unscrew then securely reattach the coax cable firmly to the back of your box.
2. Ensure that your coax cable connector is intact. Unscrew the cable and ensure that the PIN connector is not damaged, there aren’t any splits in the cable, etc.
   • If the coax cable connector is damaged, please contact 700.7000 to arrange a technician visit.
   • If your coax cable is not damaged, try using an alternate coax cable connection in another room to determine if your OneBox performs its software update. If it does, the issue may be with the cable service.
   • Please contact us 700-7000 for further assistance.

If all of the above items have been checked and your OneBox still does not perform a software update, please bring the OneBox back to one of our device upgrade locations, along with the remote control and the original packaging, for testing to determine if the issue is specific to your location.

I’m unable to pair the FibreWire TV Remote Control with the OneBox media player.

During the initial setup stage, ensure that you are standing directly in front of your OneBox before you begin pairing the remote control.
If you continue to experience pairing issues, please take the following steps:

1. Ensure that your batteries are installed and in working condition – Press the “STB” button on your remote. A green light surrounding the button should appear.
2. Follow the instructions appearing on your TV screen that says, “Press “OK”, then press 7 and 9 simultaneously and hold for at least 3 seconds. You will see the little green light below the power button flash followed by a “Remote Control successfully paired” message on your TV screen.”

If you do not want the remote paired to that specific box and want to use it with any TV, choose “Continue without pairing”.

I receive a ‘Subscription Error’ or ‘Receiver Not Properly Configured’ message on my TV.
