FIRST TIME INSTALLATION
Select this alternative when you have a single antenna equipped
with 2 LNBs, or two antennas with one LNB on each, and want
to watch channels from NILESAT/HOTBIRD.
In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch
since there is only one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once
installed the switch automatically selects the correct LNB for the
selected channel.
This external switch is better known as a DiSEqCTM switch. Since
the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one
cable down to the Mediamaster.
Connection of a DiSEqC switch:
Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from
NILESAT to the connector marked LNB 1 on the switch, and from
HOTBIRD to the connector marked LNB 2.
Connect the antenna cable to the connector marked Receiver
OUT on the switch. Connect the other end of this cable to the
ANTENNA input in the rear of the Mediamaster.
Please follow the instructions on page 14, “Antenna Adjust-
ment and Signal Check.”
The difference in this case is that you now will have channel al-
ternatives from two satellites.
Adjust the antenna until the indication value is as good as possi-
ble for both satellites.
Select one of the alternatives NILESAT, HOTBIRD, ASIASAT,
ARABSAT or PANAMSAT when you have a single LNB pointed
towards any of these satellites.
Then follow the Antenna Adjustment and Signal Check in-
structions on the previous page.
