I am connected to the internet by cable but it doesn't seem to register any where. How do I use it (the internet)on my TV?Other than using it for the custom firmware there is virtually no catch up services left on the first generation Foxsat-HDR. Buy a cheap plug in device like a NOW TV stick or a Fire TV Stick. Should be some offers on Amazon coming up. Prime Day 15th-16th July. You can get a free prime trial if you are not a existing prime member.

Does your TV support a network connection. If so' it probably has some catchup stuff already on board such as BBC iPlayer etc.
If not, the take GLT's advice above.| Wed 10 Jul 2019 17:50:42 #3 | -
So basically I am wasting my time having an internet cable attatched?

If you don't use the custom firmware, then Yes.
But does it actually cost any time then?| Sat 13 Jul 2019 17:51:17 #5 | -

It's far from a waste of time especially if you have other network devices capable of playing back content on your home network. Suffice it to say you can effectively convert the box to a media server that means you can view all it's recordings on other kit either directly or by copying them to to other kit.
