A Digital Box lets you access the free  
digital channels that are broadcast in  
the UK. It uses a digital signal, received  
through your normal aerial and lets you  
watch it through your existing television.  
The Freeview+ digital TV recorder gives  
you up to 48 digital TV channels which  
you can pause, record and rewind at the  
touch of a button (requires a USB stick  
not supplied). And the real plus is that  
there is no subscription or contract in  
sight. For more information on FREEVIEW,

Inserting USB flash devices  
You can insert a USB device at any time.  
As channels are found, their names are listed on the TV screen.  
Recommended USB flash device: USB2.0 HS (high speed) formatted as FAT32 is  
compatible and should be used to ensure the best user experience. Please insert a  
suitable device. Read the ‘Compatible devices and formats’ section on page 33.  
When the scan has finished, the digital box will automatically switch to the first  
channel in the list.  
The receiver may pick up channels from  
more than one region and you will be asked  
to select the region you want to watch  
channels from.  
First make sure the digital box is positioned over a stable and even surface.  
Insert the flash device into one of the USB ports labelled [•], [••] and [•••].  
Look at the image below for guidance.  
After a few seconds the green light next to the port should turn on indicating the  
USB device has been inserted correctly and is in ‘ready’ status.  
Press [p] and [q] to select and [OK]  
to choose.  
You can now record, play and copy to this device.  
You can now explore and enjoy the channels available on your digital TV service.  
If the light does not turn on, the device is faulty, unformatted or is not a suitable  
device.  
Don’t Forget! When inserting a USB  
device you may want to place one hand  
on top of the digital box to ensure it  
doesn’t move.

Understanding the messages on your digital box  
A signal is sent out by the broadcaster when

Auto retune (assisted retune) picks up this

may happen more than once during the digital  
switchover. You can adjust this so the retune  
starts with or without your permission.  
You can also receive messages about
