Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble setting up the time on your STB, there are a few things you can try:
Make sure that your STB is connected to the internet. Some STBs can only set the time automatically if they are connected to the internet.
Check your time zone settings. Make sure that your STB is set to the correct time zone for your location.
Reset your STB to factory settings. This will erase all of your settings, so make sure to back up any important data before you do this.
