Unpacking the box

Before you install your Fetch TV Set Top Box  STB), check that all the accessories you need have been supplied using this page as a checklist.

You will need:
1 STB Unit
1 Power Adaptor
1 Power Cord (1.5m)
1 Antenna Cable (1.5m)
1 HDMI Cable (1.8m)
1 Remote Control
2 AA Batteries
1 RJ45 Ethernet Cable (2m)
You may not need to use:
1 RYW Composite Cable (1.5m)

Installation Tips

Position the STB horizontally on a clean, dry, steady surface with 5cm of space all around it. Don’t stack it on audiovisual appliances that generate heat or electromagnetic radiation.
Keep the STB away from direct sunlight, carpet, heating, and cooking sources. Do not place it in closed cabinets, on vibrating surfaces, or on loudspeakers.
Make sure the STB is close to the TV and/or home theatre it’s being connected to, and within  6 meters from where the remote control is generally used.
Only use a clean, dry cloth to clean the STB and remote control. Don’t use solvents or cleaning agents of any kind.
Please don’t open the STB in any way. It could be dangerous and you may lose any entitlement to free servicing or a replacement unit.
Obviously, it’s perfectly fine to change the batteries in the remote control.

And Now a Safety Message
The Fetch TV STB is designed to operate from a 100V-240V 50Hz AC power source only.
Use only the original power cord and power adaptor supplied and ensure it’s fully inserted into the back panel of the STB before turning the Power on. Check that the cord is free from obstruction.
If the cord is damaged, turn the power off and contact your Service Provider for a replacement.
Before cleaning, always disconnect the power at the wall and back of the STB. Never remove the plug by yanking the cord.
Keep the STB away from babies, children, and sharp objects.
Do not place liquid-filled items on top of the STB and do not insert any objects through the ventilation holes in the cover.
Any problems with the STB should only be examined by approved and qualified service personnel.

Connect the STB to your modem

Fetch TV is delivered by broadband, so you need to connect your STB to the modem.
There are various ways to do this:
– Ethernet Cable
– Powerline Communications (PLC)
– Wireless Bridge
Connection Option 1 – Ethernet Cable: Modem direct to STB
You can use this option if your TV and STB are close enough to your modem to connect them using an Ethernet cable.

1. Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet Cable into any available port on your broadband modem.
2. Plug the other end into the port labeled Internet on the back of your STB.

Connection Option 2 – Ethernet Cable: Modem to STB using data cabling
You can use this option if your installation location has internal data cabling.

1.  Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet Cable into any available port on your broadband modem.
2. Plug the other end into the Internet Ethernet wall socket nearest to your broadband modem.
3. Plug one end of a second Internet Ethernet Cable into the port labeled Internet on the back of your STB.
4. Plug the other end into the Internet Ethernet wall socket nearest your TV and STB.

Connection Option 3 – PLC Adaptors
You can use this option if you cannot connect using Ethernet Cable and you ordered PLC Adaptors with your Fetch TV service. The PLC adaptor will transmit your Fetch TV  service to your STB using the existing power cables inside your walls.

1. Plug one PLC adaptor into an electrical socket located near your broadband modem.
2.  Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the PLC device.
3.  Plug the other end into any available port on your broadband modem.

   The PLC Adaptor should be plugged directly into the wall socket. Do not use a double adaptor or power board for the PLC unless there is no other socket available, in which case they must not have surge protectors or noise filtering. If using a power board, plug the PLC adaptor into the first outlet (the one nearest the cord).

Connection Option 4 – Wireless Bridge
You can use this option if you ordered the Wireless Bridge with your Fetch TV service. Install the Wireless Bridge using the instructions included with it. Locate one device near your broadband modem, and the other near your TV and STB.

1. Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Wireless Bridge located near your modem.
2. Plug the other end into any available port on your broadband modem.
3. Plug one end of an Internet Ethernet cable into the port on the Wireless Bridge located near your STB.
4. Plug the other end into the port labeled Internet on the back of your STB.
