  3. Optional: use a wired connectionFor the most stable streaming, plug an Ethernet cable into the LAN port of the box and your router. Wi-Fi works too.
  4. Connect the powerPlug the power adapter into the box and a wall outlet. The box starts on its own and shows a boot logo.
  5. Choose the HDMI inputUse your TV remote to select the HDMI port the box is plugged into. If you see the Ignite TiVi or Android logo, you are on the right input.
