You can't do anything with it without a BT Vision account, without one the epg will not load. So first, you need to contact BT and get an account set up. I have read different opinions about how easy it will be to get BT to agree to do that, given that they haven't supplied you with the box; some say it is easy and others not so. When you have your account you can attach the box to your home hub either by running an ethernet cable or by using comtrend powerline adapters and then you can plug everything in and use it as a freeview PVR and quite a good one at that. You can also pay as you go to watch on demand films and tv programmes as and when you want to.

Without the BT Vision account the BT Vision box is quite useful as a door stop or you could sell the hard drive out of it.
