About your Sky±HD box

Your Sky±HD box decodes HD

information from the satellite

With your Sky±HD box, a compatible HD ready TV and the relevant subscriptions
you can enjoy fantastic Sky entertainment in stunning high definition, as well as
all the features and benefits of Sky±.

Our Sky±HD box is a video recorder and satellite receiver in one, making it easy
to record and store a collection of your favourite TV shows and movies to watch
whenever you want. The 250GB personal storage capacity of the Sky±HD box
means you can store 180 hours of SD content and 60 hours of HD content. If
you have a Sky±HD 2TB the 1.5TB personal storage capacity means you can store
1180 hours of SD content and 350 hours of HD content. Sky± also allows you
to record two programmes at once, pause and rewind live TV as well many more
features. Plus you can set your Sky±HD box to record a TV show when you’re not
in front of your TV using the Sky± app or online at sky.com.

We’re continually looking for ways to make improvements for our customers, and
so the software on your Sky±HD box will be updated with new features via the
satellite. We’ll let you know about these new features as soon as they’re available,
or you can go to sky.com/skyguide to find out more about the latest features.

To make the most of all the Sky± features, make sure your Sky±HD box is
connected to your broadband router. You can connect your Sky±HD box to your
broadband router using the built-in Wi-Fi capability (DRX890W and DRX895W
models only).

Connecting your Sky±HD box to your broadband router

If your Sky±HD box has built-in Wi-Fi connectivity (DRX890W and
DRX895W models only), then simply connect it to your broadband
router via Wi-Fi to start enjoying On Demand including Catch Up TV.
It can be connected to a wide variety of broadband routers from
any broadband provider. There are three ways of connecting your
Sky±HD box to your broadband router using Wi-Fi.

Firstly, check if your broadband router has a WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup) button

.

A If your broadband router has a WPS button:

1 Press and hold the WPS button on your broadband router for

2 seconds.

2 Within one minute press the WPS button on the front panel

of your Sky±HD box. Your Sky±HD box should connect to your
broadband router automatically.

B If your broadband router does not have a WPS button, or you don’t

want to connect by WPS, then you can connect by entering the Wi-Fi
password:

1 Press services, 0, 5 on your remote control and this will take you

to the Network tab. Three options for connecting your Sky±HD
box are displayed.

2 Choose Connect with Password using your remote control and

press select.

3 Select the name (SSID) of your broadband network from the list

provided. This can usually be found on the back or bottom of the
broadband router, next to the password.

4 Enter the password using your remote control and press select

to connect.

C If you prefer to connect your broadband router using a WPS PIN,

then just select Connect with WPS PIN from the Network tab and
follow the on-screen instructions.

If your Sky±HD box does not have built-in Wi-Fi then you can still

connect to your broadband router via Wi-Fi using an On Demand
Connector. Visit sky.com/ondemand to find out more. You can
also connect any Sky±HD box to your broadband router using an
Ethernet cable.

When connecting your Sky±HD box to your broadband router via

Wi-Fi, please ensure you have enabled security on your wireless
network and that a strong password has been set. Please also
ensure that you only share your wireless network password with
trusted people as connecting your Sky±HD box will allow certain
other devices (with Sky software or applications installed) on
your wireless network to access information on your Sky±HD
box, such as a list of your Planner recordings.

Remember: Use of connected features counts towards any
broadband usage cap you have.
