The Streaming Box works well with standard internet connection. However, you will have a better experience the faster the Internet connection is. Please note that the more devices are connected to your home network, the less broadband you have for your Nokia Streaming Box.

The Streaming Box is operated by Android TV. The Google Play Store for smartphones is not the same as for Android TVs. Some apps are only available on the Google Play Store for smartphones.

The Nokia Streaming Box supports most digital audio formats

The picture and sound quality depend on the video resolution and audio characteristics of the multimedia content on platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, YouTube, etc., or on the multimedia files you play from external storage devices via the USB 3.0 port. The following reasons may cause poor picture quality:

a) The Nokia Streaming Box can detect the video resolutions your TV supports. If the TV does not support 4K UHD video resolution, the video will be played at the highest available resolution.
b) You are using an HDMI or AV cable that does not support 4K UHD video resolution.
c) You are watching low-resolution content.

a) Please make sure your Nokia Streaming Box is turned on (the LED indicator on the front of the device is on). Using your TV remote control, select the HDMI input where your Nokia Streaming Box is connected. After a few seconds, your TV will receive the signal from the Nokia Streaming Box.
b) Maybe the HDMI cable is defective. Use a different HDMI cable.

When the configuration of the “Smart RCU” function is started during the initial installation of the Nokia Streaming Box or later via the “Settings” menu of the box, the device connects to the server that contains the TV/RCU database of most TV brands to identify the connected TV. It may happen that the connected TV is not present in the database of the server, and the TV is not recognised.

The “Smart RCU” function has been successfully tested on many TV brands. If your TV is not recognised, please send the photo of the rear TV sticker and the photo of the info sticker in the battery compartment of the remote control of the unrecognised TV to our support team so that we can update our server data with the information of your TV. In this way, the Smart RCU function can be easily configured and installed during the new installation.
