Welcome to digital satellite TV!

About this booklet

This information booklet contains all you need to know to use your new Sky digibox.
Look out for this symbol. It indicates useful and important tips.

What is digital satellite TV?

Digital satellite TV is the latest stage in the evolution of TV, giving you not only digital quality pictures and stereo sound, but also the opportunity to receive many more channels and services.

Your Sky digibox

Your Sky digibox receives the digital information via the satellite, decodes it and sends it through to your TV. As well as watching satellite TV, you can control your viewing preferences through the on­screen Sky Guide.
Your Sky digibox comes with the Sky remote control. This controls both your TV and your Sky digibox. For more information see the Your
Sky remote control section on page 4.
1

What is Sky Guide?

Sky Guide is a helpful and easy to use on-screen guide to your digital satellite services. It is designed for people who want to get the most out of watching television.
All Sky Guide features are controlled using your Sky remote control.
Sky Guide allows you to:
see on-screen TV programme listings for the next seven days
select the programmes you want to watch for the next seven days and set reminders for them
see TV listings while you are watching a programme
set up and see your favourite channels
order Box Office movies, spor ts and events
use an ever increasing range of interactive services
set parental control restrictions and programme purchase price limits
modify your Sky digibox settings.
Each of these features is described in detail in this booklet; refer to the
Using your Sky Guide section on page 9.
Sky keeps you up-to-date
As digital television develops and as more features become available, Sky may occasionally update the Sky Guide software by loading it into your Sky digibox directly from the satellite. You will find this information on the Sky Customer Channel 999, and Sky Welcome 998.

Connecting to the mains supply

Your Sky digibox operates with 230 Volts AC, 50 Hz mains supplies.
Do not connect it to a DC power supply.
The supplied mains lead has a 2-way connector at one end and a mains plug at the other. Inser t the 2-way connector into your Sky digibox
before you insert the plug into the mains supply.
The only way to disconnect your Sky digibox from the mains is to remove the mains lead. Your Sky digibox must therefore be installed near to the mains socket-outlet, which should be easily accessible.
For information about the mains plug and its fuse, see page 55.
If you are in any doubt about the mains lead, its plug or its connection, consult a competent electrician.

Using your Sky digibox

For your safety

Using equipment safely

Your Sky digibox has been manufactured to meet international safety standards, but you must take care if you want to obtain the best results and operate it safely. We recommend that you have your digital satellite system installed by a qualified satellite-TV installer.
It is important that you read this booklet completely, especially the safety instructions below. If you have any doubts about the installation,
operation or safety of your Sky digibox, please consult your dealer.
WARNING!
Remember that contact with 230 V AC mains can be lethal or can cause a severe electric shock. To avoid this risk:
Never remove the top cover from your Sky digibox. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it, but there are some high-voltage live parts.
Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made.
Do not connect any of your equipment (Sky digibox, TV, video recorder etc.) to the mains supply until you have properly connected all the other leads.
Disconnect your Sky digibox from the mains supply before you disconnect any other equipment from its rear panel.
Never push anything into the holes, slots or other openings of the Sky digibox case (except the Sky Viewing and Interactive Cards into their respective slots).
CAUTION!
In order to ensure a free flow of air around the Sky digibox, allow at least 10cm of space above the digibox. Never stand it on soft furnishings or carpets. Do not cover any ventilation slots.
Make sure that there is at least 10cm between your TV and your digibox.
Do not place your digibox in a cabinet with more than one other piece of audio/video equipment, for example, VCR or DVD.
Do not use or store your Sky digibox in hot, cold, damp or dusty places.
Do not put anything on your Sky digibox which might drip or spill into it. Never stand objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on top of your Sky digibox.
Never place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, on top of your Sky digibox.
