About your TV Box
If you subscribe to Google Fiber TV service, for each TV included in the service, you have one TV Box (GFHD100 or
GFHD200), a two-section power cable, and a remote control.
This article describes the TV Box model GFHD200. If you have a model GFHD100, please refer to the
main Fiber help center for specific information about your device.
The TV Box dimensions are 5.7" W x 5.7" D x 1.1" H. The following image shows the purpose of each port on the
back of the device.
The av out port provides analog video connections using a special break-out cable. Your Installation

Specialist can provide this cable, if needed.
Each TV Box is connected by coaxial cable to a outlet in a nearby wall, which connects it to the Network+ Box. In
rare cases, TV Boxes can be connected by Ethernet cable, based on factors considered by the Installation
Specialist at installation time. The TV Box is also connected to your TV.
Connecting your TV to the HDMI port on the TV Box ensures the most vivid picture and enhances your viewing
enjoyment. If your TV does not support HDMI, you can use an analog break-out cable, which is available from your
Installation Specialist or you can pick one up at a Google Fiber service center. (You can use an HDMI or an analog
connection, but not both.)
Do not connect your TV to the coax port on the TV Box. That type of connection could damage your TV.
When the TV Box is properly connected and powered on, the LED on the front lights up solid blue.
Although the connector on the back of the TV Box looks just like a headphone jack, it is an IR extender
port. If you have an IR Extender Cable (Receiver), you can connect it using that port. (This port does
not support an IR Extender Cable (Sender).) An IR extender uses a cable to extend the IR signal around
corners, from behind entertainment centers, or in any situation where line-of-sight between your
devices and your remote control is not possible.
The USB port on the side of the TV Box is not currently supported but might be enabled to support
new features in a future release.

Each TV Box can also serve as a Wi-Fi access point, which extends your wireless network to more areas of your
home.
The TV Box Wi-Fi access points might be enabled or disabled. Check your Wi-Fi settings in My Fiber
to determine the status of each TV Box.
In addition, if your TV Box is connected to a coaxial wall jack, you can use its Ethernet port to directly wire a
computer or other device to your network. Connecting directly to the TV Box provides the fastest possible speeds
—up to 100 Mbps (not the full gigabit speed, which is achievable only by connecting directly to the N et w ork Box).
