. In order to do so, the sequence of the satellite positions in the TV/ receiver 

must correspond to the sequence of the satellite positions in the CAP converter. 
The CAP converter has the following default standard settings for satellite positions:

 

Satellite 1: Astra 19.2°E

 

Satellite 2: Hotbird 13°E

 

Satellite 3: Astra 23.5°E

 

Satellite 4: Astra 28.2°E

The satellite positions in the CAP converter can be changed as follows:

 

Using the free smartphone/tablet CAPcontrol app (available for Android and iOS)

 

To change the satellite position, go to 

Settings

 

Satellite selection

.

To use the app, you will either need a LAN connection to the router or the wireless USB adapter UFZ
