Setup Information
This document provides installation and setup support only for the PIVD100R. The satellite
dish antenna and satellite STBs must be installed and operating before you proceed to set up
the PIVD100R. LG recommends that the system be professionally installed.
Check the following items before you begin the PIVD100R installation and setup procedures.
Satellite Dish Antenna
__ The satellite dish must be located where it will have unobstructed access to the satellite
signals. At least RG-6 or larger coaxial cables must be installed between the satellite dish
antenna system and the satellite STB. Refer to documentation provided with the satellite
dish antenna.
__ Ensure the appropriate satellite dish configuration (either 3-LNB or 5-LNB depending on
the satellite provider) is in place for MPEG-4 HD channel reception. If the number of
transcoders exceeds the dish antenna capacity, multi-switch equipment will be required.
For more information, refer to the manufacturer's documentation.
Satellite STBs
__ DIRECTV satellite service: Up to eight COM 23 satellite STBs are supported for either RF
or IP output.
__ DISH Network satellite service: Up to six ViP
supported for RF output, or up to eight ViP 222 or ViP 222k satellite STBs are supported
for IP output.
__ Refer to the manufacturer's documentation, and carefully follow the system setup
procedures for each satellite STB. (The satellite STBs provide the X-Port signal inputs
for the PIVD100R.)
__ Authorization from the satellite service provider is required for HD channels. Contact the
provider to get subscription programming authorization for each satellite STB.
PIVD100R
__ Unpack the PIVD100R unit and all accessories.
PIVD100R Accessories:
__ Select the location for mounting the PIVD100R. Ensure that adequate ventilation is
available.
__ Obtain the necessary attachment hardware to mount the PIVD100R chassis in its targeted
location.
__ Plan and install the necessary cabling and network (Ethernet) and AC power access for
the PIVD100R. You will also need the following to connect a PC directly to the PIVD100R
for system setup purposes: FTDI TTL-USB cable (P/N TTL-232R-5V-AJ).
