7. Setting a satellite dish

In order to connect external equipment including a satellite dish and converter, use the installation instructions or assistance from expert - installer!

The precise setting antenna is the basis for good reception. Even the best antenna, which is ill-adjusted will cause problems with quality. Even small mistakes can prevent the receipt or very worsen its quality. Before the installation, make sure whether the place lends itself to that. The competent direction can be pre-determined by comparing with other antennas. Immediately before the antenna can not be any obstacles cover seeking to signal the dish! When you are choosing the best place for the antenna, to attach and it initially set, it still must be carefully adjusted. Each antenna is enabling regulatory adjustment screws in vertical position and level.

In digital receivers regulation is difficult. Settings can no be done base on picture, because it appears with delay. Also available indicators in the menu settings receiver typically operate with a delay, so the regulation can take a long time and be very inaccurate. For the antenna setting is necessary some meter antenna signal. Meter turns on a cable television converter between a receiver. We will confirm the presence of switch voltage converter with a tuner, and will show the size of the signal to satellites encountered. We invite you to benefit from expert assistance installer!

8. Setting motorized satellite dish

Proper work of Ferguson receiver ensures motorized system by USALS company Stab. To connect the installation of the dish with motorized system USALS, connect the output of USALS to LNB IN on rear panel of Ferguson receiver. The motor is what actually moves the antenna between the various satellite positions and is installed in between the antenna mast and the antenna mount. It is designed such that the axis of rotation is aligned with the North Star. This type of mount is often referred to as a Polar Mount. As a result, azimuth and elevation do not have to be adjusted individually. Instead, the antenna rotates on only one axis. The antenna motor is installed on the already existing vertical mast. The local latitude position of the location is then setup on the motor’s scale thus aligning the axis of rotation in the correct position. Similar to a ﬁxed antenna installation, the elevation scale on the antenna mount must be set for a satellite as close to south as possible. In the southern hemisphere you would be looking for a northern-most satellite. The selected satellite should lie within 5° of your southern-most position; the southern-most position being equal to your local longitude. For example, if your local longitude is 73° west, then the satellite you select should be located within +/- 5° of 73° west, or within the range 68° to 78° west.

USALS greatly simpliﬁes the antenna setup. Ferguson receiver simply asks you for your local geographical coordinates and calculates the satellite positions on its own using a complex mathematical formula. The receiver then drives the motor directly to the selected satellite position. Once you have a signal, you need only ﬁnely adjust the antenna mount and horizontal position (on the mast itself) for maximum signal. If the initial southern setting was slightly off, it

would now be corrected. Once the ﬁrst satellite is perfectly set, all the other satellites in the arc would also be automatically set as soon as the orbital position of these additional satellites is entered into the receiver.

Without USALS, the alignment of the antenna system is somewhat more difﬁcult. DiSEqC 1.2 drives the antenna to the selected satellite position in almost the same way. But since the local geographical data is missing, the motor drives to a satellite position based on the prime meridian and the equator. Therefore, when aligning the motor for the ﬁrst time – and then again later on with all the other satellite positions – alignment with the actual satellite position has to be achieved with the motor commands “move east/west”. Because of these difﬁculties, manufacturers of these motors make available helpful software on their web sites that enable you to easily calculate the true position of a satellite.

1. editing channel lists

2. installation

3. system settings

4. tools

5. games

11. Installation

The installation menu is used to set antenna installation parameters and to search for channels on a satellite.

11.1 Antenna connection

Select one of the two available options, depending on your system. Two options are available: a fixed antenna (a typical system with a single converter) and an antenna with a positioner.

11.2 Satellite list

In this menu select the satellites that you want to use. Select a satellite by pressing the up/down arrow keys. Mark by pressing OK. Each selected satellite will be accompanied by the √ symbol. The remaining menu options will be available only for selected satellites. In this menu you can also edit, add or delete satellites it is necessary.

11.3 Antenna setup

This menu is used to set detailed operating parameters for previously selected satellites, depending on your antenna system. Select a satellite by pressing the left/right arrow keys. Only satellites marked on the list of satellites will be available. Now select the converter type (usually, you do not have to change this option and may leave it set to "universal"). Next, if you have a switch for more than one satellite, set the required port. Depending on the type of switch, these will be options for DiSEqC 1.0 or DiSEqC 1.1 (do not activate these two options simultaneously).

The correct setting of the antenna is indicated by bars presenting the strength and quality of the signal. Both should indicate more than 80% for channel reception to be free of interference. In order to check the strength and quality settings, use the "transponder" option in order to alter the frequency and verify whether each V and H polarization is operative.

Confirm the settings by pressing EXIT.

If as the antenna connection you have selected: antenna with positioner, the antenna settings menu will have a different appearance. Two operating standards will be available for the positioner: USALS or DiSEqC 1.2. We recommend using USALS positioners, for which only the correct longitude and latitude must be given.

11.4 Single satellite search

In this menu you can search for channels from one selected satellite. To this end, select a satellite by pressing the left/right arrow keys. Only satellites marked on the list of satellites will be available. Next, select whether you want to search only for uuencoded channels or for all channels, or for radio channels, television channels, or all channels.

Two search modes are available:

1. Auto scan – a so-called blind scan, which consists in an automatic search for available satellite frequencies, which are then scanned in turn.

2. Preset scan – according to the TP list – the receiver searches through only frequency by frequency, in accordance with a list recorded for the selected satellite. This list may be edited in a separate menu.

11.5 Multi satellite search

In this menu you can search for channels from a few satellites. The satellites will be searched automatically one after another in the order in which they were entered in the list of satellites. Options concerning settings and search functions are the same as in the menu: search one satellite. The names of satellites that are to be searched are visible in the lower part of the window.

11.6 List of transponders

Channels on satellites are located in "sets". Such a "set" of channels comprises a transponder. A list of transponders is a list of frequencies available on a given satellite. In this menu you can edit, add and remove individual frequencies. Select a satellite by pressing the left/right arrow keys, and the desired frequency using the up/down arrow keys.

How do I search for a new channel?

In order to search for a new channel, you must know the basic channel parameter, i.e. the frequency on which it is broadcast. This parameter may be obtained from the broadcaster, on the internet, in the press, etc.

Next proceed to the list of transponders, select a satellite and choose the desired frequency (if it is not on the list, use the function: add – green button on the remote control unit). Now click OK for the selected frequency or the blue button on the remote control, in order to call out the window for searching this frequency. Use the up/down buttons to change search options and confirm by means of the OK button. A search will be started. Newly found channels from this frequency will be added at the end of the list of channels.

12. System settings

12.1 Language

This menu is used to define the language in which the receiver's menu is displayed. The preferred and second language options refer to audio soundtracks. If a given channel supports more than one audio soundtrack, the receiver will by default search for soundtracks in the selected languages in this order. The language of subtitled – as in the case of audio soundtracks, this determines the language of subtitles to be used, provided that such subtitles are available and active. Teletext - defines the character coding page for the teletext.

12.2 TV System

This menu is used to set the image parameters. For most of all old type TV sets we recommend to use CVBS video output. If you are sure that TV set support RGB you can use it to get better image quality. Additionally there are two options to set RF Out. You can choose system and channel on witch RF Out will be working.

12.3 Local time settings

This menu is used to set the time and date. The receiver can automatically download the time and date from the satellite (recommended), or you may set the time and date manually.

GLOSSARY

CA - Conditional Access - Encryption system

used to secure content and grant access only to subscribers.

CAM - conditional access module - is an electronic device, usually incorporating a slot for a smart card, which equips a set-top box with the appropriate hardware facility to view conditional access content that has been encrypted using a conditional access system.

Pay-TV - Pay television or Premium Television refers to subscription-based

television services, provided digital cable or satellite, but also by digital terrestrial methods.

SCPC - Single channel per carrier - refers to using a single signal at a given frequency and bandwidth.

STB - Set-top box - Receiver device that processes an incoming signal from a satellite dish, aerial, cable, network or telephone line.

CI - Common Interface - is the slot on a digital television receiver into which a conditional access module (CAM) may be inserted for satellite television. A receiver with a common interface allows the user to access encrypted television broadcasts as opposed to free-to-air (FTA) channels.

DVB-S is the original Digital Video Broadcasting forward error coding and modulation standard for satellite television. DVB-S is used in both MCPC and SCPC modes for broadcast network feeds, as well as for direct broadcast satellite services. The transport stream delivered by DVB-S is mandated as MPEG-2.

EPG - Electronic Programme Guide, also known as an Interactive Programme Guide or IPG, provides an on screen guide to channel listings, programme information or pay per view events.

FTA - Free-to-air - broadcasts that are sent unencrypted and may be received via any suitable receiver.

TP - Transponder – One of the transmitters on a satellite. A transponder transmits on a particular frequency to which a set-top box must tune to receive a signal. Typically each transponder can carry multiple compressed digital television channels.

DiSEqC - (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a communication protocol for use

between a satellite receiver and a device such as a multi-dish switch or a small dish antenna rotor. It is compatible with the actuators used to rotate large C band dishes if used with a DiSEqC positioner.

USALS – (Universal Satellites Automatic Location System) - is a satellite motor

protocol that automatically creates a list of available satellite positions in a motorized satellite dish setup. It is used in conjunction with the DiSEqC 1.2 protocol.

LNB - low-noise block converter - is used in communications satellite (usually broadcast satellite) reception. The LNB is usually fixed on the satellite dish.

MCPC - multiple channels per carrier several subcarriers are combined into a single bitstream before being modulated onto a carrier transmitted from a single location to one or more remote sites.

Monoblock LNB - is a unit consisting of two LNBs and is designed to receive satellites spaced close together.
