OPTV devices

OPTV is set up per device using the official setup guides on myoptv.com. The short version: find your device family below, then follow the matching guide in the OPTV knowledge base, which is kept current as apps and firmware change.

Device families and where each guide lives

Setup differs by device family more than by brand. Find your family, then open the official guide for the exact steps.

Before you start

Two things cause most first-time setup failures, and both are worth checking before you follow any guide.

  • A wired Ethernet connection is more stable than Wi-Fi for live TV, particularly during peak evening hours.
  • Your OPTV account must be active on myoptv.com before a device can be configured.

If a device is not listed

Check the knowledge base first, then open a support ticket on myoptv.com. Device support changes over time, so the knowledge base is more current than any list reproduced elsewhere, including this page.
