Setup Guide
From the Box to Your Screen in Minutes.
Block Stream is designed to be set up by anyone. Four steps, one remote, and no technical background required.
02
Get Online
Block Stream walks you through joining your home Wi-Fi network. Once connected, it checks for and installs any available software updates automatically.
Works with standard home Wi-Fi networks.
03
Personalize
Sign in to the entertainment services you already pay for and install compatible apps. Arrange your home screen around what your household actually watches.
Your accounts, your logins, your choices.
04
Enjoy
Stream, watch, listen and play on the biggest screen in the house. Use the included remote, and on Block Stream Gaming, the wireless controller as well.
That's it — you're set up.
Before You Start
What You’ll Need.
A Television
Any compatible TV with an available HDMI input. No smart features required — Block Stream provides them.
Home Internet
A Wi-Fi network or supported wired connection. Streaming and app downloads need an internet connection.
Your Logins
Account details for the services you already subscribe to. We never supply or share credentials.
About 10 Minutes
That's realistically how long the whole setup takes, including Wi-Fi and signing in.
Block Stream Gaming
One Extra Step for Gaming.
Block Stream Gaming sets up exactly the same way. The only difference is pairing the wireless controller, which takes about a minute.
- 1Turn the controller on with the power button.
- 2Open Settings on the device and choose Bluetooth.
- 3Select the controller from the device list to pair it.
- 4Install compatible games from supported app stores and play.
Games are not included with the device. Compatible titles are installed from supported app stores and availability varies by region and provider.
If Something Doesn’t Work
Quick Checks.
Most setup issues come down to one of these four things.
No picture on the screen
Confirm your television is on the correct HDMI input — most remotes have a dedicated Source or Input button that cycles through them.
The device won't connect to Wi-Fi
Check you selected the right network and re-entered the password carefully. A 5GHz network name can look nearly identical to its 2.4GHz twin.
An app won't open or update
Run a software update from Settings, then check your internet connection. Some apps also require a region or account setting to be configured.
The controller won't pair
Hold the controller's power button until its light flashes, then select it in the Bluetooth list. Un-pair it first if it's still listed from a previous attempt.
