4. Set the device type to the model of your Topfield.
5. Click "Add"
6. The page will refresh and you will get a confirmation message at the top saying "Device Added" and a new box will appear just in case you want to add a second device (if you only have one device to use with IceTV Interactive for remote recording purposes just leave this new box blank).

You are now ready to check the firmware on your Topfield Plus at step 2. Check the Firmware version.

3. Install and setup the Topfield

To use the Guide on your Topfield you will first need to install and setup the device. This will involve connecting the Topfield to your antenna connection, your TV and your home network.
