Did you skip registering?
No worries, it’s an easy fix. Simply download the Better TV mobile app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and follow the on-screen steps to register and pair your box. If you’ve registered before, you can still re-pair your device through the app. Once paired, you’ll unlock all the features, including using your phone as a remote control.


Switch BetterTV from WiFi to Wired (Ethernet) connection

You can connect your BetterTV device using WiFi or an ethernet cable, and switch between them when needed.

Setting up ethernet

  1. Connect the ethernet cable to the back of your BetterTV device

  2. Go to Settings > Network & Connection

Ethernet troubleshooting

  • Use the provided cable that came with your device for best results.

  • Check the connection. You should hear a click when the cable is properly inserted, and see a light on the ethernet port.
