House keeping

Always ensure that the set-top box is switched off when not in use. This is done by pressing the power button on the remote control. Doing this will help to ensure that the cache memory of the settop box is purged and cleaned out regularly. We also recommend that you use the mouse supplied to navigate the service rather than the remote control.
