TV Box Edge

This article offers all the information and help needed to set up, make the best use of and manage your TV Box Pro.

If you're replacing your TV Box Edge, the box might not include accessories. You can reuse the ones from your old device.

If accessories are provided, please use them to replace your old ones to ensure full compatibility.

The quick steps to set up your TV Box Edge are:

1. Connect your TV box to your Hub.
2. Plug the HDMI cable into the TV box and into your TV.
3. Then plug in the power and turn everything on.

Make sure your broadband is working, and your Hub is showing a strong, solid blue light. You need a good connection to get a TV signal.

Take control over what your kids stumble across (and rent) by setting up a parental control PIN.

Parental control PIN

• To control access to programmes with an age rating.
• The default PIN is 1234.
• You can change it at any time in (Settings). 

Payment PIN 

To buy films or TV shows on the TV Player. You can have the same PIN for both if you like. 

If you forget your payment PIN, call us on 0330 123 1105 or find out how to reset your TV box.

You may need to set up other PINs or passwords to access other players like Amazon or Netflix.

Click the top right button of the remote control, and you’ll find a range of accessibility features to help you watch your TV service:

• audio feedback/description
• subtitles
• sign language

Not all broadcasters allow these features, but if they do, you can turn them on/off in Settings.

Select Appearance and you can:

• switch on high contrast
• remove channel logos
• remove transparency

which may make the menus and text easier to read.

You can also use the Zoom feature to make text bigger in the Guide or in Apps, which can be found in More, and switched on or off by selecting OK.

Or you can use a UK plug-in USB keyboard, either alongside the remote or instead of it. Just plug your keyboard into the back of your TV box and use the keys like you would on a remote control.
