5.1 STEP ONE: GETTING A FREEVIEW TV SIGNAL
Start by connecting your incoming aerial cable to the aerial socket (A), then connect the RF/aerial
cable (as supplied) from the SmartBox socket (B) to the aerial socket on your TV, so that the tuner in
your TV works too.
5.2 STEP TWO: CONNECTING TO YOUR TV
To get the best picture quality from FetchTV, connect the supplied HDMI cable to the HDMI socket
(E) on both your TV and your SmartBox. Should your TV not support an HDMI connection then you
can connect to your TV by using the supplied SCART/DIN cable using socket (F) for the 8000 and the
8320. On the 7000 you can use a normal SCART lead to connect your TV to the TV SCART connection
on the SmartBox (L). The second SCART connection (K) can be used to connect a secondary device
(e.g. DVD player) for pass through to your TV.
5.3 STEP THREE: CONNECTING TO YOUR BROADBAND ROUTER
Your SmartBox must be connected to a broadband network to work properly. For the best possible
download speeds we recommend connecting directly using an Ethernet cable. Alternatively, you may
use powerline connectors which will extend your high-speed home network using existing household
power sockets. These are available from our shop website at
www.fetchTV.co.uk/shop.html
or from
most electrical retailers.
The SmartBox 8000 and the SmartBox 8320HD can connect to your broadband router via the
Ethernet socket (H) or via the built in Wi-Fi. Should your SmartBox location be near your broadband
router, use the supplied Ethernet cable. See below for details on connecting to a wireless network.
At this stage, you should ensure that your router is set to work with the FetchTV SmartBox. Most
routers are set by default to dynamically assign IP addresses using DHCP. If that is how your router is
set, then the SmartBox should connect automatically. Advice on how to set your router will be in the
router’s user manual, or on the manufacturer’s website.
