Make sure the power is turned
off before you begin.
Place your Saorview Connect box
on a suitable shelf near your TV
set. Ensure that there is sufficient
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 little 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 offering a
software update, we reccommend
you accept it. See section on
software updates about updating
the software 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
Settings 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.
