4) Mount the Wall Bracket:
Mount the wall bracket (18) using the expansion bolts (9).
Make sure that the mounting holes are drilled into brick or stone and not into the mortar.
Also ensure that the wall mount is horizontal and perfectly level (check using a spirit level).
5) Attach Dish Assembly to Wall Bracket:
The complete dish assembly can now be attached
to the wall bracket.
6) Prepare Digital Coax Cable:
Firstly fit the LNB rubber weather boot provided, to the dish
end of the cable. Fitting the F connector: Strip the end of the cable as shown below. Once
you have stripped the cable, twist the braid and pull it back on itself, make sure that no braid
is touching the copper core, this will cause a short on the cable and you will not get any
signal. Now, simply twist on the ‘F’ connector and connect to the LNB making sure that the
weather boot is correctly secured over the LNB connector.

7) Run Cable Down the Wall:
Once you have installed the
dish you need to run the cable to the room in which your
receiver is going to be installed. Start at the top and work
down, you should clip the cable every 50cm, always run the
cable horizontally or vertically, never diagonally across a wall.
8) Connect Cable to Satellite Decoder:
The cable can be
run into the room by drilling a hole in through the window
frame or the wall. Once you have run the cable through to
where you intend to position the decoder, cut off any
surplus cable and then fit the ‘F’ connector following the
instructions in step 6. Screw the ‘F’ connector to the LNB-in
terminal on your decoder.
9) Connect Satellite Decoder to your TV:
Use a SCART lead and tune the TV into AV1.
10) Align Satellite Dish:
To obtain accurate settings go to the website:
http://www.dishpointer.com Enter your location and select satellite 28.2E Astr 2A, 2B, 2C and
2D. By locating your area on the map on the website, the programme will give the precise
settings that you will require to align to the satellites. If you do not have access to the
internet we have enclosed a chart showing settings for the key areas in the UK and Republic
of Ireland. Identify the town nearest to you and work on those settings.
Three settings are required:
a) Dish elevation
- this is the angle that the dish has to be pointed at the sky. This is done
by aligning to the correct angle on the elevation bracket.
b) Polarisation angle
- this is the angle at which the LNB needs to set at on its mount.
The LNB angle can be adjusted by moving the LNB to the required angle.
