again.
2. Please check device management and see if there is any exclamation mark or
not.
3. Please re-install latest driver again.
Video can be played but Audio failed.
Please check the sound card setting or the volume setting.
Why my EPG, Teletext and Subtitle cannot be shown?
At some areas, the broadcasters do not provide these services. Please contact
your broadcaster for further information.
Why I cannot lock any channel?
Please check whether the dish points at the satellite you wish to watch.
Please check the cable between device and the dish are well connected.
Please note that the cable should be connected to "LNB In" F-connector of
the box.
Check the settings of satellite; for example, LNB frequency is for C band or
Ku band.
Please re-connect the device to another USB port again.
