Help with problems regarding Elisa Viihde

Make sure with the help of Elisa Viihde channels (FI) instructions that you are trying to watch the channel from the correct channel slot. The same instuctions also help you further with problems related to channel visibility.

Also make sure that your TV is using the correct input source for the set-top box. The source can usually be changed using the Source, Input or “arrow in screen” buttons on the TV remote.

More detailed instructions for selecting the input source can be found in the user manual of your own TV.

Restart the modem and set-top box by disconnecting the power cable from the device for approx. 10 seconds. Then plug in the cables again and restart the devices.

Make sure that your computer or other devices using the same internet connection are not performing any major downloads or updates, as otherwise the set-top box may not have enough bandwidth to transmit IPTV image. Normal internet surfing on the computer does not affect the use of Elisa Viihde.

If the image cuts off occasionally, this may also be due to occasional increase of traffic in the network. Check the service again in a moment. If the service cuts off regularly and often, check instruction Disruptions in your connections? for further assistance.

Make sure that the set-top box is placed in a well-ventilated area. Also make sure that all cables are plugged in and if needed, restart both devices (first modem, then set-top box) by unplugging the power cord for about ten seconds. Then plug in the cables again and restart the devices.

If this does not help, reset the set-top box default settings. You can find more detailed information about this in the instructions for restarting and restoring factory settings for Elisa Viihde devices (in Finnish).

If there are problems with the update of the set-top box software version, please follow Elisa Viihde device instructions (in Finnish).
