How to connect a standard definition or high definition TV to watch Fibe TV

Fibe TV receivers provide many video and audio connections for any type of TV set you may have, whether it be a high definition (HD), standard definition (SD) or tube TV.

Most common connection scenarios

Connecting an HD TV with a component cable

  • With the component cable supplied with your Fibe TV receiver, connect the red, blue and green outputs on your Fibe TV receiver to the corresponding red, blue and green inputs on your HD TV for video.
  • Then, connect the supplied RCA stereo cable to the audio outputs red (right) and white (left) to the corresponding inputs on your HD TV to receive 2.0 audio.
  • Refer to your TV's owner's manual for more details on matching video and audio inputs.

Connecting an HD TV with an HDMI cable

  • With an HDMI cable (not supplied), connect the HDMI output on your Fibe TV receiver to the corresponding HDMI input on your TV for both video and audio.

Connecting an HD TV or SD TV with RCA/composite cable

  • With an RCA/composite cable (supplied with your Fibe TV receiver), connect the matching yellow (video) and red and white (right and left audio) outputs on your Fibe receiver with the corresponding yellow, red and white inputs on your TV for video and audio.

Typical HD connections

HD connections are most common on flat panel TVs, HD TVs, HD-ready TVs and some projection TVs.
