Welcome to MondoBox.TV USER GUIDE WHAT YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO WATCH ITALIAN TV USING MONDOBOX: FAST INTERNET CONNECTION A TELEVISION SET ABLE TO CONNECT TO MONDOBOX USING HDMI CABLE Without these MondoBox will NOT work What MondoBox is: Mondobox is a receiver of Internet television channels. It has been tuned to receive TV channels being bradcast over the Internet and plays them to your TV set. Most Italian TV stations broadcast over the air (in Italy) and on the Internet and your Mondobox receiver has been tuned to receive these channels specifically. There are no costs associated with receiving these channels as they are free. What MondoBox is NOT: Mondobox receives only those channels which have been made available by their respective owners. We at MondoBox do not transmit these. They are transmitted over the Internet by the station's owners such as RAI or Mediaset TV in Italy. Should the owners of these broadcasts decide to stop transmitting their channels over the Internet they have the right to do so. This means that these channels would no longer be available to watch. MondoBox is NOT a satellite receiver and cannot receive broadcasts of RAI Italia which is transmitted via satellite. Please Note: The only other costs you will incur is for Internet use. The amount of usage depends on your current Internet plan. Please check your service agreement with your Internet provider. As a rough guide, for every hour of high-definition video received, you will have consumed 1Gb of data from your Internet allowance. (c) MondoBox.TV 2016 Instructions 1.02 2010212 Page 1

One MondoBox.TV receiver What is NOT included in the pack: You will need a cable to go from your Internet modem or router, to the back of the MondoBox receiver. You may purchase these from many outlets such as JB Hi-Fi, Dick Smith, or any computer store. This cable is known as a CAT 5 cable and is blue in colour. The length of this cable will depend on how far your TV set is from your Internet modem. There are two plugs on a CAT 5 cable. One plug on each end and it doesn't matter which plug goes where. Simply plug one end of the CAT 5 cable to your modem or router (that is, your Internet box) and the other end into the MondoBox receiver there is only one place for this to plug in to.
