Non-smart TV

Good evening,

Connecting a USB Wifi adapter will not establish a connection with your TV Box...

I believe the only accepted solution without incurring significant costs is an HDMI cable between the two...

But of course, this can only be a generalization... we don’t know your TV, its brand and model, nor your liveBox, which has a model... these things work in a logical manner and nothing else.

So Google Chromecast won't work...? Connecting an HDMI cable between my Livebox and my TV, there's 4 meters and it's not great to make a conduit....

I understand the situation... but while trying, you could move the two devices closer together and connect them with a temporary HDMI cable... to see if it works...

No need to buy a 4m cable and install a conduit if it doesn't work...

Furthermore, I'm surprised that the Livebox isn't near the TV...
What model of Livebox is it..?

Don't you have a separate TV decoder from the Livebox..? Is everything integrated into one box..?

I didn't have much of a choice since the DTI box is at the entrance on the wall, so that's where the Livebox goes (I have a 4). Of course, my decoder is next to my TV. However, I read somewhere that the SOSH decoder doesn't have Wi-Fi...?
So I'm wondering about the connection to the DTI box... Is it mandatory if we want Wi-Fi? I'm confused!

Well, after some research (you'll confirm or not): connecting the Livebox to the DTI box for wired (so Ethernet if I understood correctly) OR connecting directly to the TV decoder for Wi-Fi (no need for RJ45). That's it?
But what I don't understand is why I can't have Wi-Fi while leaving the Livebox on the DTI since it tells me that Wi-Fi is activated... It seems like the wired connection takes precedence over Wi-Fi and that the two at the same time are incompatible! Or maybe my TV decoder doesn't have Wi-Fi (even though I got it recently). I just need to try it, but I'm afraid of messing everything up, so before I dive in, I prefer to ask lol.

Hi,
Do you have wall-mounted RJ45 sockets and in the cabinet where your Live Bosque is?

Yes, I have a lot of RJ45 cables. In principle, it's always better to prioritize Ethernet, but where my TV is, unfortunately, I don't have an RJ45 jack, so I have to use Wi-Fi.

In my opinion, no... because Wi-Fi in general doesn’t transmit fast enough for current TVs and videos, plus all the bandwidth is consumed by the TV, leaving the other inhabitants of the house with nothing...

In my humble opinion, the solution would be to place the box next to the decoder and the TV... and to find a way to extend the telephone line from the DTI to your BOX

and thus, your Wi-Fi will radiate better by being placed in the center of the house, for others.

I think it is feasible to use the ducts in the walls that lead to your power outlet, near the TV, to run a telephone pair... You can also run it behind the drywall partitions. That's the idea.

I unplugged the livebox this morning from the DTI box to connect it to the decoder, but it doesn't work either... It doesn't find a connection. I'm going to ask to borrow a Chromecast to try; otherwise, I only have to change the TV or find a neat way to keep it wired.

So your decoder has never worked, if I understand correctly..??

-- I assume that this decoder with this BOX should work... But there are plenty of other reasons that could come into play...

1° Your TV on the internet may not be activated..??

2° Did you plug it in correctly... right sockets, right colors, etc.. Do you have any messages..?

3° There may be settings to activate in the menus...??

4° The ChromeCast has a major drawback in these types of installations... It does not transmit all shows... all VOD and other DRM protections, copyright, etc.. it’s not as simple as one might think... and I believe that in the future, it will be worse.

The decoder only works when it is wired. If I unplug it to switch to Wi-Fi, it no longer works. The TV displays "connection problem." In the TV and decoder menu, there is no Wi-Fi option. It only shows that I am on Ethernet and I can't change it since no other choice is proposed.

That's what I was saying... No wifi for the TV, so you have to be on Ethernet...

But we also have to say that from the beginning, you haven't provided the details of your equipment... brand and model... the TV, the internet box... the TV decoder... So, we can only respond based on what is usually done, but not on your specific setup...

Because here, I can see that you're beating around the bush with the wifi, simply to avoid installing wires... while the solution is there... and the wifi doesn't work... They have too many problems and dissatisfied customers on this issue...

I mentioned earlier that I was with Sosh (Livebox 4 + TV decoder) and my TV is old and doesn't have Wi-Fi, nothing complicated. As for using a cable, my topic is precisely to avoid that because I have a glass door, so the cable sheath might be very visible. However, if I have no other choice, then yes, I will do it. I understand the fans of wired connections, but there's a need for everything, lol.

The TV decoder also has a brand and a model... it must be on the back or underneath

The TV certainly has a brand as well and a model, check on the back..
