• Near the end of ImageWithScreenShots1.4 is a walkthrough of the Guided Setup, with a focus on setup for Cable, but mentions Free To Air. Includes screenshots at important steps.
• OzTivo has a detailed walkthrough of the Guided Setup, with many screenshots here, but it may require minor changes to suit New Zealand.

Program Source Select “Cable” and press “Select” (button on remote below directional pad)

Zip Code Enter “02113″

Time Zone‘ Doesn’t matter… just select the first one “Eastern” and press “‘Select”

Daylight Savings select “no” and press “select” button

Area Code Enter “002″ and press “select”

Phone Dialling Options select “no : continue” and press “select”

It will take a while to connect and do it’s thing.

Let it do its thing (go make a coffee or play quake for a bit)

When finished press “select”

Dial In Numbers choose “none of the above” and press “select”

No local Numbers choose “sales and marketing program” and press “select”

Cable box select yes and press “select”

Cable Providers choose “Sky Digital Auckland” and press “select”

On the screen where it asks about how the box is connected, set to appropriate choice for your environment (either composite a/v in or s-video).

On cable box brand, you can try to see if yours is supported in the existing lists but it probably won’t be, except for Pace and General Instruments STBs. If it isn’t just select some random one and let it go (I chose Motorola choice 1, 3 digit channel, no enter key, but any will do as you’re going to replace it later anyway). The Fast, Medium and Slow Options will be overwritten as well.

Let it do it’s daily call bit for guide data.

You’re done with G/Setup, reboot.
