Welcome to your new freesat+ 500GB satellite recorder.
How to set up and use your
SHDFSAT12
Connect to a Dish
2
To receive freesat, you must
connect your unit to an appropriate
satellite dish.
For safety reasons and to
provide reliable reception,
we strongly recommend
that the satellite dish is
professionally installed. If you
have any questions about the
satellite dish, please consult
your installer.
Place your unit on a firm, level surface close to your TV, a mains electricity socket, and the cables from the satellite dish.
1. Connect the cables from your satellite dish to the sockets on the back of the unit. For full functionality of your freesat+ recorder you will
need to connect two cables from your satellite dish. If you only have one cable, please consult your retailer or installer for advice.
Remove the battery
compartment cover from
the back of the remote
control by lifting it up while
pushing the catch. Insert the
two AAA sized batteries as
shown on the inside of the
compartment. Replace the
compartment cover.

These cables only need to be hand tightened, overtightening could result in damage to the unit.
To access On Demand TV you will have to connect an Ethernet cable (not supplied) to your Freesat box.
Satellite Dish Mains PowerTV
OR
Connecting the two cables
This allows you to watch one TV station and record another. Connect the two separate cables from your satellite dish to each of the
TUNER 1 (LNB IN) and TUNER 2 sockets. For this your Satellite Dish must be fitted with a Low Noise Block (LNB) that has at least two
outputs. Please check with your installer if you are not certain about this.
2. Ensure your TV is turned o, then connect the HDMI cable
supplied to the HDMI socket at the back of the unit and an HDMI
socket on your TV. There may be more than one HDMI socket
on your TV. If you are not sure which one to use, check the TV’s
instruction manual. If your TV does not have an HMDI socket, you
can connect the unit using a SCART cable (not supplied), but will
not be able to view freesat channels in high definition.
3. Connect the mains cable to the mains adapter and then connect
to the power socket at the back of the unit.
