HD DIGITAL ADAPTER SELF-INSTALL GUIDE
It’s Time to
Self-Install
Connect Your Equipment
1. Connect the coax cable to an active cable wall outlet, and
then to the Cable In connection on your HD digital adapter.
Make sure the connection is finger tight.
Tip: Not all in-home cable wall outlets are active. Try multiple outlets
if the first one doesn’t work.
2. Connect the HDMI cable from your HDMI connection on your
HD digital adapter to the HDMI connection on your TV.
If you don’t have an HDTV, connect a coax cable from the To TV
connection on the back of your adapter to the coax/antenna/cable in
connection on the back of your TV. Make sure the connection is finger tight.
3. Plug the power cord into your HD digital adapter and then
into an electrical outlet.
4. Turn on your TV, and make sure your volume is on.
5. Using your TV remote, change the TV input setting to the proper
HDMI input you used to connect the HD digital adapter.
If you don’t have an HDTV and you’re connected via coax cable, go to
the back of your digital adapter. Flip the HD digital adapter switch to
channel 3 or 4. Then, use your original TV remote to change your TV
channel to match the back of your digital adapter.

Activate Your Equipment
When the HD digital adapter light blinks in a sequence of
two blinks and one pause, it’s time to begin activation. (If this
isn’t happening, refer to Troubleshooting section in this guide.)
1. Go to Midco.com/CableTVSupport and locate the equipment
activation area. (Activation is needed even if you have working
channels, so you receive the correct channels for your cable
package.)
2. Enter your HD digital adapter serial number, and select
Activate Now. Activation is complete when the front light
is lit solid and no longer blinking.
Confirm Channels
After activation, confirm that a TV picture shows, and that
your channel lineup and on-screen guide are loading. This may
take up to 15 minutes to begin, and full program information
may take one hour to completely load.
Press Guide on your Midco remote to scroll and confirm you’re
receiving the channels provided in your cable package.
Program Your Remote
Program your Midco remote control to your TV.
Refer to the user guide provided with your remote, or visit
Midco.com/CableTVSupport, and select Remote Controls
for help.

Troubleshooting
Why is my digital adapter light still blinking?
Long, continuous blink: The HD digital adapter is in hunt mode
and not ready for activation. If you tried to activate, it will fail.
Wait for two short blinks and a pause, and then try again.
Three short blinks: The HD digital adapter is updating. Wait for
two short blinks and a pause, and then try again.
Ongoing blinking or no blinking: Try other cable wall outlets.
(Not all in-home outlets are active.) If you’ve tried multiple outlets
and still can’t connect, contact us.
Why isn’t my TV working?
No TV picture: Try switching your HDMI input on your TV. If you
don’t have an HDTV, try changing the channel on the back of your
HD digital adapter to match your TV channel. Also check cables
between your equipment, TV and cable outlet to ensure they are
finger tight.
Guide not loading: It may take up to 15 minutes for your guide to
begin loading and up to an hour to completely load.
No sound: Check if your TV is muted. Press the mute button on
your remote to unmute the audio.

If you have old Midco equipment, be sure to return it. Just package it up in the box
that came with your new digital adapter, which also includes a prepaid return label.
