Connection to the satellite antenna

The LNB or multiswitch of a satellite antenna is connected to the antenna con-
nection of the dLAN TV Sat Tuner using a coaxial cable with an F-connector.
Carefully plug the cable into the F-jack of the adapter and tighten the outer nut
of the connector.
Operating voltage of 16 to 18 V may be present at the coax connection of the
LNB. To prevent damage to the LNB or the dLAN TV Sat Tuner, connect the
adapter to the power grid via the power supply only after having made the con-
nection to the antenna.
Also check the alignment of the satellite antenna to the desired satellite(s). You
can obtain the necessary parameters (compass direction, tilt, etc.) from your sat-
ellite operator. If necessary, use a conventional satellite receiver and television
to check whether you can receive stations using the current installation.
Note that the LNB voltage for the dLAN TV Sat Tuner is present at the antenna
input only if a connection exists to a computer that is running the corresponding
TV and radio software. This can be important when operating a satellite signal
finder, for example.

If the dLAN TV Sat Tuner detects a network, the Ethernet LED on the power
supply and the yellow LED in the LAN jack are illuminated.
When data are transmitted via the network interface of the dLAN TV Sat
Tuner, the Ethernet LED on the power supply and the green LED in the LAN
jack flash.
If the dLAN TV Sat Tuner is visible from one of the computers connected via
LAN in the devolo Informer program, a connection is possible. It may still
be necessary to assign a shared dLAN password for the physically connected
dLAN adapters using the devolo dLAN Configuration Wizard. For more
information on this topic, refer to Chapter 4.
If the devolo software has been installed correctly on the desired computer,
a network connection to the adapter exists and Cyberlink TV Enhance or
Elgato EyeTV lite (or a corresponding TV and radio program for Ubuntu
8.04/8.10) has been started, the red Connect LED on the dLAN TV Sat Tuner
is illuminated.
