  1. Satellite Cable

    Screw the cable into 'SAT IN LNB 1' on the back of your Sky Box until it's finger tight.

  2. HDMI cable (Preferred)

    If you have an HD-ready TV, plug the HDMI cable into the HDMI socket on the back of your box and the other end into an available HDMI port (take note of the port name) on the back of your TV.

    OR, AV (red, yellow & white) cable

    Connect one end to the back of your box and the other end to an available AV port (take note of the port name) on the back of your TV.

  3. Ethernet port

    If your router is close by, use an ethernet cable to connect your box to your home internet. This will give you access to the On Demand service.

  4. Power cable

    Connect the power cable to an available power outlet and turn this on. Wait for at least a minute or two for the box to power up again.

    Turn your TV on and change the channel to the port name you took note of in step 2. Refer to your TV manual if you're unsure of how to do this. You should now have pictures coming through your TV

 

Note: If your router is a distance away, connect your box using the built-in WiFi to your home internet. Head here for further assistance on how to do this.
