need to do in ‘Satellite Configuration’.  Right now there is 
not a rotor version. 

 
 
Satellite Configuration for those with Rotors 
 
Procedure: 

1.

 

Using the remote control press “Menu” and go to 
Settings then Service Searching then Satellite 
Configuration. 

2.

 

Choose “many satellites via DiSEqC Rotor” from the 
top drop-down menu. 

3.

 

Let’s make the circular polarized LNB = LNB0 and the 
linear LNB = LNB1. 

4.

 

Choose your first desired satellite – 119W in this 
example because it has a very strong signal. 

 

5.

 

Select LNB0 and press the OK button.  Do not make 
any other changes to this page.
