Let's check you have everything you need. You should have: 

• 1 x YouView box

• 1 x Remote control with 2 AAA batteries

• 1 x Power lead

• 1 x HDMI cable

• 1 x Ethernet cable

• 1 x Aerial cable

Connect your aerial cable from the aerial socket in your home, to the Aerial In/Antenna In port on the back of your box:

If you don't have an aerial and your box supports Internet Mode, you can use this instead of an aerial as long as you are connected to the internet.

You do not need an aerial for BT TV Box Mini.

Connect your HDMI cable from the HDMI port on the back of your TV, to the HDMI port on the back/side of your TV:

Ethernet Connection

Connect your Ethernet cable from the Ethernet port on the back of your box, to a LAN port on the back of your router:

Router too far from your box?
To connect your box to the internet you'll need a pair of powerline adapters:

Wi-Fi

If you have a Wi-Fi enabled box, you can connect wirelessly to your router. For the best quality Wi-Fi signal, we recommend that the box and the router are in the same room and within 5 metres of each other.

To find out how to connect your box via Wi-Fi, check this set up guide.

Connect your power lead to the back of your box, and connect the plug to a wall socket:

Now you've got everything connected, it's time to switch it on. Make sure the power switch on the back of the box has been turned on:

The power light on the front of the box should now turn on. Press the button on the front or top of your box (depending on model) and you should see the YouView set up screen:

Just follow the on screen instructions and you're good to go.
