Connecting The Receiver To A Satellite Dish - Sandstrom SHDFSAT12 Instruction Manual

Satellite Dish Installation
To receive freesat, you must connect your unit to an appropriate satellite dish.
For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you
have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already
installed at your home. If you have any questions about the satellite dish, please consult
your installer.
This freesat box requires a dual LNB to enable you to view and record channels at the same
time.
Connecting the Satellite Dish to the Unit
Place the unit on a firm, level surface close to the TV, a mains electricity socket, and the
cables from the dish.
Connect the cables from your satellite dish to the sockets on the back of the unit. For full
functionality of your freesat+ recorder you will need to connect two cables from your satellite
dish. If you only have one cable, please consult your retailer or installer for advice.
Connecting the two cables
• This allows you to watch one TV station and record another. Connect the two separate
cables from your satellite dish to each of the TUNER 1 (LNB IN) and TUNER 2 sockets. For
this, your Satellite Dish must be fitted with a Low Noise Block (LNB) that has at least two
outputs. Please check with your installer if you are not certain about this.
The "F-connector" used for the satellite dish cable connection has a central wire that is inserted into the
hole in the TUNER 1 or TUNER 2 (LNB IN) sockets while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When
screwing on the collar, make sure that the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.
