CONNECTION SPEED TEST
When all three status fields in Network Status read "Online", you can run the connection speed
test. Scroll down to the "Start connection speed test" button and press ENTER. The receiver
will connect to our servers and test the speed of your connection. When the speed test is
complete, the
results will be
displayed.
Pay special attention to the "Sufficient for SD" and "Sufficient for HD" information. This tells
you if your Internet connection will allow you to order high definition (HD) and standard
definition (SD) content, only standard definition, or no content at all.
You can run the connection speed test as often as you'd like. Results are recorded on the
receiver and form the historic average speed, historic minimum speed, and historic maximum
speed values.
If results are lower than you expect, check out the FAQ on page 62 for troubleshooting tips and
additional information.
If your internet connection tends to be highly variable, you can also run the speed test directly
from the
order options
popup when you select a title. This helps to ensure you have enough
bandwidth to stream successfully before you order the title.
NEXT STEPS
Once you've verified connectivity and run the connection speed test, you're all ready to start
