process. A stronger and higher signal indicates a
better direction of the antenna.

As soon as the signal quality has reached approx. 60%,
the channel image appears in the background. Should
there be no image, you might have directed the antenna
to another satellite instead of Astra1 19°. In this case,
please proceed with the fine-tuning process as follows
until you can see an image in the background.



Initially you must set the antenna vertically at an approx.
1° steeper or flatter angle.

Please keep in mind that the signal-strength
indication only shows the connection quality of
the antenna to the receiver and is not intended to
be used for directing the antenna.
