Warning: Changing the DNS server does not work! The correct solution is the /etc/hosts update some posts below.

If you have a factory reset OUYA the config file is not enough, because OUYA’s setup seemingly does not use the configuration file. You will be stuck at the “network selection” screen.

The solution is to override DNS entries for devs.ouya.tv and status.ouya.tv:

  1. Access your internet router’s web interface

  2. Change the DNS server to 83.169.45.222

    Alternatively, add manual hostname mappings:

    devs.ouya.tv 83.169.45.222
status.ouya.tv 83.169.45.222

  3. Finish the OUYA setup

  4. Change your router’s DNS server back to the original value
