Safety information
•Power o all devices during connection set-up to
prevent electric shock.
•Unplug the power adapter from the wall socket to completely
disconnect the product from the mains.
•Do not place sources of naked flames, such as lit candles,
on the product.
•Opening the product results in loss of warranty and can cause
electric shock.
•Condensation can be produced within the product, e.g. if the
product is brought from a cold to a warm environment. Wait
for about one hour before operating the product. Aer that
time, the condensation will normally have evaporated.
•The product has feet on its boom side. Since the surfaces
of furniture are made of very dierent materials that a wide
variety of care products are used on, we cannot exclude the
possibility of some of these substances or their ingredients
soening or otherwise damaging the feet. Place a non-slip mat
under the feet, as appropriate.
•If the baeries are not used for a long period, they should
be removed from the remote control unit. Replace the baeries
at least once a year to prevent them from leaking.
•Do not expose the baeries to extreme conditions or excessive
heat, for instance, radiators, sunshine, fire or the like. This will
result in an increased risk of leakage or explosion.
•Never try to reactivate used baeries with heat, charging
or other methods.
•Baeries must not be dismantled and short-circuited.
•When inserting the baeries, observe the correct polarity (+/-),
otherwise there is danger of damage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock,
do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
WARNING: The baeries shall not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Do not throw baeries in the bin or on a fire. Make sure that you
dispose of baeries safely at a local recycling centre. You can also
recycle baeries at many supermarkets.
Your receiver’s power adapter requires a 100V to 240V AC ~
50/60Hz mains supply and is fied with a moulded plug. If the

Connecting to Broadband
Connecting your Saorview Connect
box to your broadband gives you
access to On Demand players and
brilliant features like Spotlight
recommendations and the roll-back
guide. Minimum 2Mbps broadband
speed required.
The best way to do this is with
an Ethernet cable (provided).
Alternatively, you can connect to
your Wi-Fi network once the box is
switched on and during set-up.
Connect using an Ethernet cable
Connecting your Saorview Connect
box to your router with an Ethernet
cable will give you the best
performance when watching On
Demand content.
For most domestic routers, the
connection process is simple.
Just plug one end of the Ethernet
cable into the Ethernet socket on
your Saorview Connect box, and
the other into an Ethernet socket
on your router. The router will
automatically detect the box and
create the necessary seings, and
you will then be able to access
On Demand and other content
via broadband.
Some routers require you to manually
set up the connection between
the Saorview Connect box and the
router. To manually adjust internet
connection seings, press HOME and
navigate to Seings. Select Internet
connection and press OK. Select
Network set-up to enter the manual
configuration screen. NOTE - only
take this step if you are familiar with
how to manage network seings.
If you have already connected
your Saorview Connect box to your
router, you will see a message
on screen saying ‘Great, you’re
already connected via an Ethernet
Connection’. If not, the message will
say ‘No Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection
is detected’.
You can connect your Saorview
box to your broadband router with
Wi-Fi if using an Ethernet cable is
not possible.
Connect using Wi-Fi
To connect to the Internet using
a secured Wi-Fi network, select
Network set-up under Internet
connection in Seings. You will
be prompted to connect to your
preferred Wi-Fi network and to
enter your password. (Remember
that passwords are case-sensitive).
Once you’ve entered your password,
follow the on-screen instructions to
complete the set-up.
If you want to change your Wi-Fi
connection at any time, from the
Home screen menu go to Seings
then Internet connection and the
box will show you available wireless
networks.

Make sure the power is turned
o before you begin.
Place your Saorview Connect box
on a suitable shelf near your TV
set. Ensure that there is sucient
ventilation around the box, and do
not block the ventilation holes.
Connect the cable from your TV
aerial into the port – RF IN.
If you have a satellite dish and want
to use it to access additional free
channels, screw its cable into the
port - SAT IN 1.
Connect the box to your TV using
the HDMI cable.
Next, you can connect the box to
your broadband router with the
Ethernet cable, or you can connect
to Wi-Fi later once the box is
switched on.
Connect the power adapter to the
Power port, plug it in and switch it
on at the socket.
Switch on your TV and select the
correct HDMI input. If your TV does
not have a HDMI input, connect your
TV’s AV input using an analogue
cable (not supplied).
The box will take a lile time to
start up. During that time, the word
‘BOOT’ will appear on the front
panel display. Follow the on-screen
instructions to install your box.
If you see a prompt oering a
soware update, we reccommend
you accept it. See section on
soware updates about updating
the soware on your Saorview
Connect box.
First Time Installation
During the install you will need to
scan for Saorview channels. This can
take about 3 minutes.
If you have not already connected
your box to your broadband router
with the Ethernet cable, you will be
asked to connect to Wi-Fi. Select
your preferred secure Wi-Fi network
and enter your password.
You will be asked if you will be
happy to provide usage data
from your Saorview Connect box.
Providing this usage data helps
Saorview to make improvements to
Saorview Connect.
Your Saorview Connect box can
display either English or Irish
language where available. Select
your preference. You can change
your choice at anytime by going to
Seings and selecting Language &
accessibility.
Finally, if you do not already have
a Saorview ID and would like to
register for one, enter your email
address and an email will be sent to
you with a link for you to complete
your registration at a later time on
the Saorview website.

03 Then log in to your Saorview ID via
the Saorview website or Saorview app
and enter the code. You’ll now be able
to control your box using the remote
control in the app, and remotely set
recordings from the Saorview channels
(once supported).
Use the Saorview app
as a remote control
With your phone or tablet paired to
your Saorview Connect box you can
take control of your viewing without
needing to use the remote control or
aecting what’s on screen.
To connect to your box, make sure
your device and box are on the
same broadband network. Then
go to Seings and choose scan for
boxes. It will list all of the boxes on
the network for you to choose from.
Once you have connected to a box,
it will automatically connect to it in
the future.
Record on the go from
the Saorview app
Once you have paired your Saorview
Connect box with your Saorview
app, you can set recordings on the
go from your mobile or tablet, so
you will never miss an episode of
your favourite shows again (this will
be available with a soware update
due in mid-2018).

Satellite
You can connect your Saorview
Connect box to a satellite dish
allowing you to receive additional
free TV channels. Please note that
satellite channels are not part of
Saorview, so the Saorview Connect
features are not available when the
box is in satellite mode.
To connect your Saorview box to a
satellite dish, plug the satellite cable
into the connector at the back of the
box marked SAT IN 1.
If you don’t have a satellite
dish installed at your home, we
recommend that you contact your
local retailer or a professional
installer to install a dish if you wish
to access satellite channels.
First time installation
To set up satellite channels for the
first time, press the HOME buon
on your remote control to access
the Home screen and then select
Satellite. Follow the on-screen
instructions to tune in satellite
channels.
On the first screen that is displayed
select Continue.
You then have a choice of either
doing an automatic scan or a
manual scan.
The simplest option is the Automatic
scan. Select Start auto scan and press
OK. You will be prompted to enter
your PIN. The default PIN is 0000, but
you can change this at any time in the
Seings menu.
Once you have entered your PIN, the
automatic scan will start. The scan
can take several minutes and scans all
available channels. During the scan,
a progress bar will appear, and a list
of the channels found is shown on
the right of the screen. Please do not
power o or operate your Saorview
Connect box during the satellite
channel scan.
You can also set up a Manual scan
if you want to scan for a particular
transponder and have that
information to hand.
We recommend that you leave
Network scan on as it allows your
receiver to pick up channels that
may not be transmiing at the time
of scan, but which you may want to
watch later.
Note that 7 day listings and Saorview
Connect features are not available
while viewing satellite channels.
You can re-order, hide, and
retune satellite channels to suit
your preferences.

up and down arrows on the remote
control to move the selected channel
by one position at a time, or use the

the selected channel by five positions
at a time. When the channel is moved
to the desired position, press OK to
deselect the channel.
When you have finished reordering
channels, press BACK on your remote
