1Connect your aerial 2Connect your TV 3Connect your broadband 4Turn it on and get started
Your YouView box needs a working TV aerial. Unplug your
aerial cable from your TV and plug it into Aerial In on your
YouView box.
The Freeview channels you get depend on where you live and
the quality of your aerial and cables. To check which digital
channels you can get in your area, go to youview.com
1Plug your HDMI cable into the HDMI socket on your
YouView box and the HDMI socket on your TV.
2Turn on your TV and select the appropriate audio visual
(AV) input for the HDMI connection (some TVs do this
automatically when you turn on your YouView box).
Using other equipment?
If you’re using a home cinema amp or something similar, connect
the HDMI cable to that instead of your TV. Then, to turn ON
surround sound over HDMI, go to Settings on your YouView box,
select TV Signal & Quality, then change the HDMI Audio Format
to Surround.
1Using the power cable, connect your YouView box to a power
socket and switch it on (the box’s power light will turn red).
2Press on the top of the box to turn it on (the box’s
power light will turn blue). To nd out more about your box’s
lights, see your User Guide.
3 When you see a welcome message on your TV, follow its
steps to nish set-up. Your default YouView PIN is 1234.
Remember to make a note if you change it.
4Press on your remote control and open up the
BT Player. This will activate the player so you can access
programmes that are part of your subscription as well as
your rentals and purchases.
5Now you’re set up, turn this guide over to set your YouView
remote to control your TV.
Eco mode
During set-up, when asked, set Eco mode to LOW to make your
box start up faster.
Can’t see the Welcome screen?
For help, see your User Guide.
If your Hub is close enough to your YouView box, use the
Ethernet cable to connect your YouView box’s Ethernet
socket to one of your Hub’s Ethernet ports.
If your Hub is too far from your YouView box and you’ve
ordered broadband extenders (Powerline adapters), see the
user guide that came with them to set them up.
To nd out more about broadband extenders, go to
bt.com/help/tvpowerlines
