When you see the screen that
displays the word ‘English’ it’s now
time to remove the yellow plastic
strip from your remote
control which will automatically pair
to your Horizon TV HD+ box. All you have to do now is press OK,
then sit back and relax, allow the installation to complete and
then enjoy everything Horizon TV has to offer. This process can
take up to 15 minutes.
Let’s get started

Connecting your TV to your Horizon TV HD+ box
Final TV set-up and pairing your remote control
Step 3
Step 4
a) To make the most of the HD channels
that you have as standard from Horizon,
connect your Horizon TV HD+ box to
your TV using the HDMI cable provided.
c) Switch your Horizon TV HD+ box
on, this switch is located at the
back of the box.
d) Now you have connected your Horizon
TV HD+box, it is time to turn on your
TV by pressing the power switch. Make
sure that your TV is set to the correct
source i.e. HDMI or Scart.
Your Horizon TV HD+ box will now attempt to connect to the UPC
network. During this time you may see a number of messages on
your TV displaying codes 1010 and 1030, don’t worry these are
part of the normal installation process. This may take up to 30
minutes so please be patient and do not switch your Horizon TV
HD+ box off at this stage as it will disrupt installation.
b) If you do not have a HDMI connection
on your TV, you can connect through a
Scart lead (not included).
If you do not see the ‘English’ screen appear on your TV
after 30 minutes, we recommend that you unplug your
Horizon TV HD+ box power source, leave it off for 15
seconds and plug it back in. The installation process will
now restart.
If you see an on-screen message advising of Code 1090
at any stage during the process, we recommend that you
unplug your Horizon TV HD+ box power source, leave it
off for 15 seconds and plug it back in. If the message
remains on screen, please call our Self-Install Helpdesk on
1800 941 969 and a member of our team will be able to help.
If you have removed the yellow strip from your remote
control and it does not respond you can manually
pair it with your Horizon TV HD+ box by following the
instructions on page 4 of your Horizon Product Guide.
When the personalisation screen appears select your
preferred response by using the up and down keys on
your remote control and press OK to confirm.

Step 1
Connecting your Horizon TV HD+ box and hardware
a) If all your services are through your Horizon TV HD+ box disconnect your
current equipment – ie your set-top box, your modem and all of the cables.*
b) Note your SSID details in the space provided, ie your network name and
8 character password. This is located on the bottom of your Horizon TV
HD+ box, or on the sticker provided.
*If you have requested that you keep your existing modem only disconnect your set-top box.
Notes:
No smart card, splitter or cable modem is needed as your Horizon TV HD+ box is a one box,
one cable solution.
When you are noting your SSID details (network name and password), make sure it is the
‘Wi-Fi 2.4Ghz’ that you select.
If your TV doesn’t have a HDMI connection, keep your Scart cable at hand as you will need
this in a later step.
For more information on wireless, go to page 6 of your Horizon Product Guide.

Note: In this image 3a and 3b show the Scart and HDMI both connected, this is for illustration purposes only, you will only use one of these.
a) Wired Devices
This includes: Desktop, PC, Laptop, Games Consoles.
Connect your Ethernet cable (not supplied) to any of the 4 LAN
ports on the back of your Horizon TV HD+ box and connect the
other end to your device.
Note: We would recommend that you use Cat5e Ethernet cable to ensure
that you get the best possible experience.
b) Wireless Devices
To connect any wireless device you will need to have the SSID
details, ie your network name and password, that you gathered
in step 1 of this process. When entering your password make
sure you enter this in uppercase.
Please note that wireless speeds may vary depending on your
surroundings. UPC has no control over these surroundings and
cannot guarantee wireless speeds.
For more information on setting up wirelessly see your Horizon
Product Guide page 6.
Note: To ensure you get the best possible speeds we recommend
connecting to your Horizon HD+ box using an Ethernet cable rather
than by Wi-Fi.
Congratulations! You have now completed your
Horizon TV HD+ box installation. Your next step is
to learn about the features and benefits of Horizon.
For more details, please refer to the Horizon
Product Guide included in your box.
Please do not remove the yellow plastic strip
from your Horizon Remote Control yet, as
the best time to do this is during step 4.
Home Network
After a short period of time an onscreen message will appear to
help you set up your home network. If you select ‘later’ you can set
this up at a later date and continue to enjoy your current viewing.
We are continually improving our home networking service so you
can do more with it in the future. For more information on home
networking see: http://www.upc.ie/customer_support/horizontv/
Don’t forget to remove the plastic from
the front of your Horizon TV HD+ box.
