Getting started with BBC iPlayer

Connecting your Sagem freesat receiver to the internet

1| Connect with an Ethernet cable

If your Sagem freesat receiver is located near to your broadband router, connect them together
with an Ethernet cable.

Slot one end of the Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on your broadband router.
Slot the other end of the Ethernet cable

into the Ethernet port on the back of your
Sagem freesat receiver.

2| Connect with Homeplug Adapters*

If your Sagem freesat receiver is too far apart from your broadband router to connect with an
Ethernet cable, you can connect using a pair of Homeplug Adapters.

Homeplug Adapters are a safe and convenient way to send broadband around your home
using the existing in-house
wiring.

You’ll need an available plug
socket near to both your
broadband router and your
Sagem freesat receiver.

Using one of the cables provided, connect one Homeplug Adapter to your router, and then
plug into a nearby power socket.

In exactly the same way, connect the other Homeplug Adapter to your Sagem freesat receiver,
and plug in.

Turn on both power sockets.

*Homeplug Adapters can be purchased from your local electrical retailer.
