1.) First you find an ideal place to put the dish. The general rule of thumb is to put the dish somewhere where the sun can shine on it between 10 am and 12 noon as the sun, as viewed from the earth, will be roughly in the same position as the satellite between those times. Make sure that there are no trees with or without leaves, washing lines or other obstuctions in the line of sight of the dish. Finding with your compass
2.)Connect the lnb (the unit at the end of the arm that protrudes from the dish) via a satellite type coax cable to the digi box. Connect the TV to the digi box by using a Scart cable to ensure best picture quality. You can also connect the digi box. to the TV via the RF aerial socket but unless you are using a TV that you bought in the UK, you will get a picture but no sound as the digibox uses the UK PAL1 as opposed to the european PAL B/G.
3.)Now connect the digi box to the mains electricity and switch the digi box on. You will most probably get the message No satellite signal is being received. This is because the dish isnt alligned with the correct satellite yet.
4.)Using the Remote Control, Press Services and then press number 4 and then number 6. You will now see the Signal Test screen as shown You will see Signal Strength (SS) Signal Quality (SQ) Lock Indicator (LI) Network ID (NI) and Transport Stream (TS ). The NI and TS are what we will be concentrating on for the time being.
4/A.) Menu for Sky HD box Using the Remote Control, Press Services and then press number 0 and then number 4. You will now see the Signal Test screen as shown You will see Signal Strength (SS) Signal Quality (SQ) Lock Indicator (LI) Network ID (NI) and Transport Stream (TS ). The NI and TS are what we will be concentrating on for the time being.
5.)Turn your dish so that the face of the dish is vertical and pointing south (you may need to use a compass for this). Now whilst watching the TV screen, very very slowly turn the dish towards the east until you see the NI change from 0000 to 0002 and TS change from 0000 to 07d4. Be carefull though and make sure you turn the dish smoothly and slowly as it takes a few seconds for the digibox to react to the weak signals from the satellite. Once you have found the correct satellite you may also hear music in the background and the Lock Indicator will have changed from Not Locked to OK. If this doesnt happen alter the elevation of the dish slighlty usingas a guide and then repeat step 5
6.)Now we concentrate on the SS and SQ! Adjust the dish up and down very slowly until the SS has peaked. Now turn the dish very slightly eastwards and westwards until the SS has peaked again. The SQ should now also be relatively high but if its not quite 100% dont worry. The skew is all that is left to adjust now and this entails slackening and then twisting the lnb in its holder back and forth until the highest SQ is attained.
7.)Once you are sure that you have the highest SS and SQ readings tighten all the bolts and secure the lnb cable securely to the dish arm and bracket so that it doesnt flap about in the wind causing the cable to break.
