Thank you for purchasing this product which has been designed and manufactured to give you many years of trouble-free service.

About This User Manual

This user guide contains all the information you need to know about how to setup and watch available 'Freeview' channels using your set top box.

What is Freeview?

It is the new, free digital service currently providing up to 30 free digital TV channels, over 20 digital radio stations plus a whole new world of interactive services. It's broad- cast from transmitters and received via a rooftop aerial.

It works like traditional TV, but because the signals are digital you need a set top box to convert them. This means more channels can be transmitted with extra fea- tures such as interactivity and widescreen pictures.
