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 listed, click Edit. If
the satellite name is not listed, use the advanced
verify signal reception procedure instead of this one.
- The Edit dialog appears. The Edit
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 display.
- Click OK to
return to the Satellite Settings tab.
- Click Transponder Management. On the
Transponder Management dialog, the satellite's channels appear in the
Transponder list. Signal information for each channel has been preset
by the service provider. To view signal information on any channel, select
the channel from the Transponder list and click Edit.
- Highlight a transponder on the Transponder
list and click Edit. The Edit Transponder dialog appears with
the selected satellite's name in the greyed
Satellite drop-down list. Values appearing next to each of the Transponder
Settings are default values that will tune the tuner to the selected transponder
(channel); do not edit these.
- 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.
- Congratulations! Your antenna is pointed correctly
and the LNB and DiSEqC settings are correct. At this point you should be able
to open DVBViewer and watch TV. If your Internet connection has been properly
set up, you should be able to use Internet Explorer to browse the Internet
at high speed as well.
If the Signal Strength indicator is not
yellow or green, either 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.
