Important information about searching for new channels
Important information about searching for new channels

As new channels and features become available, you will need to set your set-top box to search for
new channel listings.
If you do not do this, you will not be able to watch any of the new channels.
Note
Using the 'Reset' button on the back of the set-top box will not search for new
channels and update the channel listing.
Follow the instructions on page 5 to search for new channels through your set-top box.
What is Freeview?
Freeview is the free digital service that currently provides over 40 digital channels, over 20 digital radio
stations and interactive services (see below). It is broadcast from a transmitter and you receive it
through your aerial.
Freeview works like traditional TV, but because the signals are digital you need a set-top box or digital
TV to watch them through your TV. This means you can get more channels with extra features such as
interactive TV and wide screen pictures.
Note
Interactive services are where you can respond to events or questions on your TV
for the programme you are watching, using the coloured buttons on the remote
control.
How do I search for new channels?

1
Press the 'MENU' button on your remote control.

Your TV will display the 'main menu' (shown right).
Select 'Installation' from the 'Main Menu' using the

up, down, left, right buttons.
3 Select 'First Time Installation' and press the
'SELECT' button
4 Select 'Yes' to delete all the channels.
5 Your set-top box will turn off and then back on
again. This is normal.
6 Your TV will display the 'First Time Installation'
screen (shown right) after a short delay.
7 Use the 'right' button to step through the TV type
options: 'NORMAL 4:3' or 'WIDESCREEN 16:9' until
it displays the format of the TV you have connected
to the set-top box.
8 Press the 'SELECT' button.

Electrical safety
Electrical safety
Warning Read the electrical-safety pages of this
guide carefully, before you connect the
set-top box to the mains supply.
Make sure the voltage of your electricity supply is the same as
the voltage printed on the label on the underside of the main unit
of your set-top box.
The set-top box needs a 230 volt 50 Hz mains supply. Do not
use any other supply.
The set-top box may be fitted with a moulded plug which cannot
by re-wired. If you need to change the fuse in a moulded plug,
you must refit the fuse cover. If you lose or damage the fuse
cover, you must not use the plug until you have a replacement
plug cover or plug.
If you have to change the plug because it is not suitable for your
socket, or it is damaged, you should remove it and fit an
appropriate plug following the wiring diagram shown on the next
page. You must get rid of the plug safely, because you could get
an electric shock if you use it again.
Electrical safety
The plug should be approved to
British Standards (BS1363/A).
Fit a 3 amp fuse
No connection

Glossary
Glossary
Analogue signals
Analogue signals directly represent the information being transmitted (for example, a conventional
record player converts the vibration of the stylus into an electrical signal). Analogue signals are prone
to interference and distortion.
Aspect ratio
Ratio between screen width and height.
4:3 (4 units wide by 3 units high) is the traditional aspect ratio used in television and computer
monitors. 16:9 is the aspect ratio used in widescreen television.
Bandwidth
This is the maximum amount of information that can be transmitted over a specific connection.
Coaxial
Coaxial cable is the most common type of cable used to transmit video signals. Coaxial connectors
are becoming more common in domestic audio and video equipment with the advent of digital
technology.
Plain English Campaign have not edited this page for the Crystal Mark Standard

Glossary
Compression
Compression allows digital signals to be reduced in size by removing unnecessary information.
Contrast ratio
This is the difference in light intensity between the lightest and darkest areas of the picture.
Decoder
A decoder translates an encoded signal back into its original form. Satellite television signals are often
encoded to limit access to subscribers only.
Digital signals
Digital signals convert the information being transmitted into a series of ones and zeros. As there are
only two possible states (0 or 1), the signal is less prone to interference.
DVD
Abbreviation for Digital Versatile Disc. An optical disc, similar to an audio CD, that contains
compressed audio and video information. Films released in DVD format can include additional
features such as directors commentary and alternative viewing angles.
66
Glossary
Optical connection
Some domestic audio/video devices have optical inputs and outputs. The signal is transmitted
between the devices using a laser light source.
PAL
The television system used in Australia, Scandinavia, South Africa and Western Europe.
RF loop through
This is a socket that provides a direct signal (usually from your television aerial), allowing you to feed
that signal to additional equipment.
SCART
SCART cables provide a standard means of linking audio and video signals between compatible
equipment fitted with SCART connectors.
Standby
An increasing number of consumer devices incorporate standby mode. When a device is in this mode,
power is still connected but the device is not operational. Any device that can be switched on using a
remote control incorporates standby mode.
VCR
Abbreviation for Video Cassette Recorder.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Why do I get square blocks in the picture on the TV screen when I am watching
Freeview channels?
The Freeview signal may be poor. You can check that you live in an area where you can receive
Freeview channels by entering your postcode on the website www.freeview.co.uk, or by sending
your postcode in a text message to 83331. (This service is available on all major UK mobile phone
networks. Standard network charges apply.)
Can I watch the Freeview channels with only the RF cable connected between the TV
and the set-top box?
No. To watch Freeview channels you must use the TV Scart connection. The RF cable connection
lets you watch your exising (non-digital) TV channels when the set-top box is turned off for
example.
Can I watch pay per view channels with my Set Top Box?
No. You can only watch Freeview channels with your set-top box.
