INSTALLING A FIXED ANTENNA FOR A SPECIFIC
SATELLITE
Connecting
Connect the LNB cable (from the arm of the satellite dish) to the “LNB socket” of the receiver using
the satellite cable. Connect the TV to the “TV Scart” socket of the receiver. Switch on the TV and
connect the receiver to the mains.
Press the key on your remote: the receiver should go from stand-by mode to ‘ON’ and the
number of channels you can currently receive will be displayed on the screen. If your screen displays
the message ‘NO SIGNAL’, ensure that the scart cable is well connected and manually change the
AV mode to EXT mode on your TV (please refer to your TV manual).
Orientating your Antenna
Enter the number of the satellite you are interested in receiving channels from using the remote
(i.e. Astra28=670). Press the ‘INFO’ key of the remote to view the signal strength and quality level,
which should normally be at 0%: orientating the antenna will allow you to maximise the quality and
strength of the signal.
Orientating:
This is an easy procedure if you follow these steps:
1) Double-check the satellite cable connection is correct.
2) Incline the antenna of about 20 degrees.
3) Point your antenna to the SOUTH (use the compass).
4) Gently swivel the antenna from the right to the left. It is normal that nothing appears on
the screeen yet. Point the antenna to the SOUTH once more.
5) Raise the antenna of 2 degrees (between 20 to 22 degrees) and GENTLY swivel it from
the right to the left.
Continue the process by moving the antenna of 2 degrees at a time in order to try and optimise the
signal and view the channels on the screen. If the signal increases but no image is being received,
this means that you are pointing towards another satellite. In this case, repeat the procedure.
Polarization
Swivel the LNB clockwise of a few degrees on its support to increase the signal level. If the signal
decreases, swivel the LNB anti-clockwise. Tighten the screw.
The installation is finished. Press the ‘EXIT’ key once to display the menu. You should now be able
to watch all the channels from the satellite your antenna is pointing towards.
