Owners will be able to update their i-Player by connecting it to a phone line and by following the instructions below. The software update process lasts between 20 and 30 minutes.

If you regularly use i-Player to connect to the Internet or to read emails, the new software update should have been automatically detected.

To launch the Update process manually, go to the Internet channel (press 777, then press the BLUE key). In the “Enter your destination” field, simply type “netgem/update”, and then press the OK key.
Note: If you have never connected to the Internet with i-Player, you will first be guided through a short procedure to set up i-Player to access Interactive Services.
