GETTING STARTED
This guide is intended to help you get started and provide you with a basic overview of the key
functions.
You have probably already checked, but before you install your SmartBox you need to be sure you
are in a FREEVIEW coverage area. If you are not sure it is easy to check coverage in your area,
simply text your postcode, followed by your house name or number to 80560 e.g. NW9 6NY 1 (Costs
no more than a normal text). Or visit
www.freeview.co.uk
.
If you have purchased a SmartBox
8320HD, please ensure that you are in a FREEVIEW HD reception area by texting your postcode and
your house number to 80560 (e.g. NW9 6NY 1) to 80560.
4.1 SET UP YOUR FETCHTV ACCOUNT ONLINE
To unleash the potential of your
SmartBox and to take advantage of all
of the fantastic features including the
ability to watch BBC iPlayer on your TV,
you will need to set up your free
FetchTV account online.
Visit
www.fetchTV.co.uk
and click on
Activate Your SmartBox.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set
up your FetchTV account.
This account gives you access to all of
the catch up and on demand services
on FetchTV.
You will be asked for your credit or debit card information during the registration process, this is
because we need to verify that there is someone in your household who is over 18 (as the service has
access to 18 rated content) and will allow you to buy movies and other content simply using your
remote control.
You will only ever be charged if you choose to purchase content. There is no subscription charge for
FetchTV.
Once you have your account and know you are in a Freeview coverage area, please take a moment
to check that you have all of the required components. We also recommend that you review the
safety information found at the end of this guide.
