2.4.1 Connecting the antenna

Whatever sort of connection you have between the digital re-
ceiver and the television, you need to connect the digital re-
ceiver to your television antenna so that it can receive digital
television services.
Normally you do that by using a loop cable to link from the IF
1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector.
If you have two antennas without DiSEqC switch, then you
have to connect a cable from the other antenna directly to the
LNB 2 IN connector rather than using the loop cable.
If you have another digital receiver, link it from the IF 2 OUT
connector.
NOTE
The digital receiver can supply a current of 500 milliampere at
maximum for antenna devices including LNB, DiSEqc switch
and antenna rotor through each antenna input connection sep-
arately but not simultaneously. So if there are too many an-
tenna devices to be supplied with power through antenna in-
put connections simultaneously for a long time, your LNBs
may lack power to operate. So it is recommended to link the
IF 1 OUT connector to the LNB 2 IN connector with a loop
cable even though the digital receiver is designed to operate
over two antennas alternatively.
Connect the antenna cable to the LNB 1 IN
socket on the back panel of the digital re-
ceiver.
Also, you must ensure that there is a connec-
tion to both the LNB 1 IN and LNB 2 IN con-
nectors on your digital receiver, so that both
tuners work properly.
