Verify Signal Reception

  1. Ensure the antenna is attached to DVB receiver.
  2. Launch Setup4PC.
  3. 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.




  4. The Edit dialog appears. The Edit dialog configures the antenna you wish to point at the satellite.



  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. At Satellite Color, select the desired color display.
  8. Click OK to return to the Satellite Settings tab.
  9. 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.



  10. 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.



  11. Monitor the Signal Strength indicator.

    Signal Strength
    Color
    <20%
    Red
    Between 20% and 40%
    Yellow
    40% or greater
    Green

  12. If the Signal Strength indicator is green, skip to the last step of this procedure. Otherwise, correctly point the antenna at the desired satellite.
  13. 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.
  14. When you obtain the maximum percentage Signal Strength, fix the position of the antenna. Click OK to return to the Transponder Management dialog.
  15. 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.
