Step 5: Connecting the Antenna and the Set top box
Once you have installed the antenna in an open loop space or mounted the way you want it to be, the next
step is to connect them all together.
In order to be able to watch your favorite satellite programs, you need to connect your satellite antenna to a
receiver with a cable. The cable between the antenna and the Satellite receiver should not exceed 30m as it
will decrease the quality of the signal. The use of a long or bad quality cable and/or unisolated jacks can cause
lowering the signal level, it would be preferable to use an RG6 Coaxial cable (HF 17VATC or 19VATC cable), in
order to minimize a signal loss.
A) How to prepare the cable?
Step 6: Fine Tuning and Fix the Bracket
Once fine tuning is completed for signal reception, please tighten bolt and nut.
Once all connected, turn on the TV and the Satellite receiver.
Select the Antenna Pointing Menu on your set top box.
You can check signal level on your TV.
Ensure that to choose "LNB : ON"
You will need someone to stay in front of the TV to tell you when the signal is "good" while you're outside
trying to adjust the antenna the best way possible.
The signal level and quality is indicated on the TV screen and will fluctuate and change colour according to
the adjustment & movement of the antenna while you are pointing & finding (azimuth, elevation angle).
The level indicates the power of the signal and the colour is the signal reception quality from the chosen
satellite.
