Using the Thor H-STB-IP Set-Top Box Decoder is easy. First, connect it to your network via the Ethernet port using an RJ-45 cable. Then, connect the HDMI cable to your display. Plug in the power supply. Once it's powered on, the decoder will start receiving and decoding the IP stream. Remember to place it in an environment where the temperature is between 0°C and 40°C and the humidity is between 5% and 95% (non-condensing). Keep it away from direct sunlight and water.
