LNB’s assembly
Your kit can contain various types of LNB
• LNB in metal grey (D1 schema): make sure
to position the triangular mark () properly D1
upwards. It is normal that the body of the
head is tilted on 45°, the cable leaves tilted
to 45°.
• Other LNB’s (graduations): must be positioned vertically. See D2 schema (the cable
leaves vertically).
In both cases, never remove the protection
cap of the horn.

Pre-programmed channels and satellites
Your receiver is delivered pre-programmed on the main satellites available in Europe. Some
satellites require a one-meter satellite dish, you will not be able to receive them with a lower
size satellite dish, even if this satellite appears in your pre-programmed channels list. You will
use these channels to point your satellite dish towards the satellite you want. The Table 1 gives
you the satellite dish necessary size, in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, for
each satellite, as well as references channel that will be useful for you to align with a satellite.
Table 1: references’ Channel
(*) The channel numbers apply to the TV list at output of the factory. If you modify the organisation of the channels, these
numbers are not valid any more.
Important notes:
• Table 1 does not mention the satellites which do not broadcast (or with a very low signal)
on Digital Free to Air. The reference channels were validated at the time of the drafting
of this user manual, we cannot guaranty they will still be there. In the event of problem
at the time of searching for a satellite, get specialised magazine (like What satellite and
Digital TV) to check that the reference channel is still a Free to Air channel.
For the alignment, you must imperatively know which satellite you wish to receive. If you
have any doubt, check the pre-programmed channels at the end of this user manual.
