Download
Operation
After the front panel amber “light pipes” have been blinking
for about 1 minute,
pull the plug
and power cycle the STB.
The “Download In Progress” screen will automatically
appear on the channel ¾ or the Composite Input on the TV.
The download screen is not visible on the Component Input
on the TV. The row that starts with
DL:
shows how far
along the download is. The last number in that row will
count down to zero (0) as the download files are received.
The download should take less than 20 minutes to complete.
There is a timer in the top right corner that should continue
to move. If the timer stops, wait a few minutes. If the timer
does not start to move again, call for assistance.
After the download is complete, the TV screen will go
black, and the STB front panel amber “light pipes” will
begin to cycle/flash.
Wait about 2 minutes for this operation to complete.
Note: Download files are delivered over the satellite in a
carousel manner. If the STB misses a file due to bad
weather, poor dish alignment, or some other anomaly, the
unit will have to wait until another pass of that file is
delivered over the satellite.
VoOm!
After 2 minutes, the unit should automatically reboot, and
you should be watching TV! If after 3 minutes, the “light
pipes” are still flashing,
pull the plug to reboot the STB.
Congratulations,
download
and initial activation is
complete! The STB video outputs may now be connected to
any of the standard definition or high definition TV or home
theatre video components in the homeowners system. The
video mode button may have to be pressed to match the
output mode of the viewing device. Once this is set, it
should not have to be set again. The lightbars (from top to
bottom) indicate the following video modes: 1080i,
720p,480p, 480i).
