1. If you wish to only tune to a specific Network or Bouquet of channels, move the cursor to highlight the “Bouquet ” box and use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to scroll through the pre-stored Bouquets. You should now see both signal meters reading a good signal level and the receiver will prompt you to press OK to start tuning all the channels from the selected Network or Bouquet.

2. If you only wish to download Free-to-Air channels, high-light the FTA box and turn the option to “on”. Provided your dish is installed correctly and aligned to the relevant satellite, both the Signal and Data

bars should display a GREEN bar which denotes the following:

The first bar shows the actual satellite SIGNAL strength

You should see a GREEN bar showing your satellite signal is medium to good. If it is RED, this normally indicates that either your dish/LNB set-up is not adequate for this satellite, or your dish is not correctly aligned.

The second bar shows the quality of the DATA received

This GREEN bar indicates the DATA INTEGRITY of the signal received. If the bar is RED, this indicates that the DATA received is unreliable. This could cause the picture to break up, or disappear completely.

Note: If “No signal found” is displayed, check that the values entered are correct and are valid for the satellite your dish is installed for. (Please also refer to the “Advanced Users” and “Trouble Shooting ” section to check that your LNB settings are correct).
