No the Netjem doesn't have a keypad because the number to dial is stored internally. You just have to connect it to the phone line with the cable provided using the Iplayers modem port. When you go to channel 900 which is the Iplayers interactive service the Iplayer will connect automatically. Its a local rate number Netjem doesn't charge for the service but BT will for making the call.

Adrian - this is very helpful, and as you say, was missing from the info I was receiving.

Does this mean that the IPlayer has a phone keypad to dial up the Netjem ISP? How would I be billed for the penny a minute charges; Netjem won't want BT getting the dosh :]

Andy - what I think hasn't been made clear is that while you can use your own internet service to connect the i-player to the web providing you have the necessary sockets and cables you don't have to do this. it comes with default dial-up settings pre configured so you can download software upgreades and access channel 900 for todays audio described program listing at a cost of one penny per minute. actually unplugging the telephone cable when you have finished is a good idea as particularly when accessing channel 900 it isn't clear how to disconnect from the netgem isp.

Andrew - how would I do this then, given that my 'router' doesn't have any additional USB ports?

   Hi,



This is not possible - you need to download the items directly onto the IPlayer.

Andrew - You wrote that you just connect it to the phone socket to do the upgrades - I don't have any wireless connectivity here, would it be possible to download whatever I need for the IPlayer on to my PC from the internet, then upload it to the IPlayer?

     Hi,



You would need to have a phone extension. The Iplayer does not have an Ethernet socket - just a phone socket and a USB socket for connecting it to a wireless card or other accessories. If you had a router you could do it wirelessly if you had a wireless router and USB card in the Iplayer, I don't use this however as I just connect it to a phone socket every few months to do the upgrades on it etc.



     Andrew.

     Hi all -



I understand that the IPlayer is blind friendly, and can receive the Audiodescription service, and has an Ethernet connection for upgrades, and programme guides etc.



Unfortunately, I don't have a phone socket in the same room as my TV, and My PC is also in another room!



I don't think my PC has an Ethernet socket, but not sure, as I don't know what these sockets look like, and although I'm on ADSL, my router doesn't seem to be a router in the conventional sense, it only has one USB connection for the PC, and no other inputs/outputs.



Does anybody know how I might go about occasionally connecting the IPlayer to the internet given my circumstances?



     Regards



     Andy
