access the Easy installation screen.This screen prompts
you to select your favourite menu language as well as the
appropriate port configuration. Depending on your
DiSEqC set-up, you can select satellites for one or more
ports. If you do not have any DiSEqC switch,select port A
only.

- Go to the Antenna Setting screen by pressing the <Red>
