(Advanced) Verify Signal Reception
- Ensure the antenna is attached to DVB receiver.
- Launch Setup4PC.
- Select the satellite from the Satellite
drop-down list. If the satellite name is
not on the Satellite list, click New.
- The Add New dialog appears. The Add
New dialog configures the antenna you wish to point at the satellite.

- Under LNB Setting, enter the LNB settings
of the antenna pointing at the desired satellite (see antenna manufacturer's
information for numerical values.) For more information about LNB Settings,
see Appendix: LNB and DiSEqC Settings.
- At DiSEqC, select None
if you are not using a DiSEqC box, or select the antenna's DiSEqC position
from the DiSEqC drop-down list. For more information about DiSEqc Settings,
see Appendix: LNB and DiSEqC Settings.
- At Satellite Color, select the desired
color for display.
- Click OK to
return to the Satellite Settings tab.
- Click Transponder Management. On the
Transponder Management dialog, no channels should appear in the empty
Transponder list.
- Click Add. The
Add Transponder dialog appears with the selected satellite's
name in the greyed Satellite drop-down list.
- At Transponder Settings enter signal
parameter values to tune the tuner to the selected transponder; obtain these
values from your service provider. Enter the desired transponder's frequency
at Transponder. Enter the transponder's Symbol Rate. Select
Auto from the FEC drop-down list unless the service provider
instructs otherwise. Select the transponder's Polarity.
- Click Tune and monitor the Signal
Strength indicator.

- If the Signal Strength indicator is green,
skip to the last step of this procedure. Otherwise, correctly point the antenna
at the desired satellite.
- Using your service provider's instructions,
have a friend manually point the dish antenna at the correct place in the
sky while you check the Signal Strength indicator. Adjust
the antenna until the highest percentage signal is indicated on the Signal
Strength indicator. Verify that the satellite's Network and Orbital Position
match your satellite service provider's instructions.
- When you obtain the maximum percentage Signal
Strength, fix the position of the antenna. Click OK to return to
the Transponder Management dialog. The successful transponder now appears
on the Transponder list.
- Congratulations! Your antenna is pointed correctly
and the LNB and DiSEqC settings are correct.
- You are ready to Search
and Scan for digital TV and data channels to populate the Transponder
list.
If the Signal Strength indicator is not
green and you have verified with your service provider that your Transponder
Settings were entered correctly, then your antenna is not pointed correctly
or your LNB and DiSEqC settings are incorrect. Keep pointing and adjusting until
you obtain the maximum percentage Signal Strength.
