Hardware requirements:

I assume you have the necessary equipment, as described in my previous article on "How to use the unit in English watching television in Europe."

You need:

A TV (preferably with a SCART connector), an ex-rental Sky Digibox that has already been used in a dish UKA suitable size (see my previous article, and astra2d.com for guidance dimensions) with LNBCo câblée ax-tab Viewing the sky or DVB-T mountain confirmation cardNecessaryInstallation of satellite dish

Via satellite, we are looking for is 28.2E Astra 2D. It is located at 28.2 degrees south-east. Let me tell you why to set the angle of the comparison is very important and must be done carefully. Astra 2D is in geostationary orbit, which means that appears to be stationary when viewed from the Earth to spin .. The normal height for a geostationary satellite is 36000 km and the satellite is only 8 feet tall and just over 2 meters in diameter, isactually looks like a tin of baked beans with the lid open! In order to adjust the dish to be done with extreme precision.

I can not do too much with the corners of the item is necessary because it depends on your location. Here, in the southern French Alps a compass of 150 degrees, with an elevation of 34 degrees, the numbers needed. In Bucharest, Romania, in a direction of 177 degrees and an altitude of 39 degrees would be necessary. Internet research, especially ex-patSites for your area will normally be the figure magic shows.

Then you lift the bowl in which you want to, but must be on the roof if it does not work like an aerial photograph no. This should only be a clear line between itself and the satellite, no trees or buildings. Steep angle of the surprises many people who have the character of the dish where the LNB is supported by an arm attached to the bottom of the bowl, the 'bar in the corner, we are interested in is approximately parallel to the poor. Set the height ofcorrect value and leave the bracket slightly loose so you get the bowl from side to side can do. Using a compass, a compass in the pot when you have (in my case 150). You get it right the first time, but the closer you are, the less the chance of finding the wrong satellite.

How it works

Now connect the antenna to the box from a box on the TV and turn on the unit.

Note: The ribbon cable includes a smallelectricity, so make sure that it is never broken, while the window is alive, otherwise some of electronic components can be damaged

Do not worry if the remote does not react immediately – after turning on power to the Digibox may take a few seconds to respond to them. On the remote, press Services, press 4, then 6 will see a screen test signal. Ignoring the signal strength and signal quality bars at this time. You must have somethingThe signal strength of the bar. (If you have a faulty connection on the road to the LNB).

Set the TV where it can be seen, while the change of the plate, move the antenna until the zeros be changed to 0002 (Network ID) and 07d4 (Transport Stream). The change will be quite sudden so go carefully to avoid swinging the dish too far. Lock Indicator will also change from "not locked" to "OK". The value of 07d4 is usually the case, but you can meet others, especially iftrying to get a signal in southern Europe. Network ID, but must be 0002, otherwise you're on the wrong satellite.

Complete installation

When the Network ID and Transport Stream values change from zero a digital signal is received. Clamp the dish, and then press the Back button on your remote 3 times to return to normal. Now wait until the field is finished, the program data.

If after adjusting the plate,receives a signal, but there are disturbances in sound or vision, is almost certainly caused by the dish elevation or direction bit of adjustment. Move the dish very light and look carefully at the quality of the signal bars on the screen of the test signal for the highest value. No more than about 50%, should give a good reception.
