RF Tuning
If you have connected up your equipment via RF leads, you may need to perform RF tuning before
you can watch digital satellite TV.
RF tuning your TV (and VCR) to your box
1.
Make sure your box is active (the standby light on the front panel should be green).
2.
Consulting your TV’s user guide if necessary, tune the TV until you can see the Welcome screen
(see page 14) on your TV screen.
3.
Store your new ‘channel for digital satellite TV’ on a TV channel number of your choice. For
example, if your terrestrial channels are channels 1 to 5, and your ‘VCR channel’ is channel 8,
you may wish to use TV channel 9 as your ‘channel for digital satellite TV’.
4.
If you have a VCR, set your TV to its ‘VCR channel’, then tune your VCR until you can again see
the Welcome screen.
If you cannot RF tune your TV (or VCR) to your box...
Your box’s factory preset RF
output
channel is channel 38. (This is not the same as a TV channel).
If channel 38 is not compatible with your TV, for example if it is already being used as your VCR’s
output channel, or for a terrestrial channel, you may find you cannot tune your TV to your box
because of interference.
Changing the RF output channel is covered in the setup section (see page 54).
RF channels may also be known as
UHF
channels.

Making the installation settings
Choosing your country
If you have completed the installation instructions up to this point, the Welcome screen is displayed
on your TV screen. (See page 14 for a picture of the Welcome screen.)
1.
Take your remote control. If you have not already inserted the batteries, do so now (see
page 3).
2.
Press
U
or
D
until the country you want is highlighted, then press
OK
.
Note
If you have previously had an analogue satellite receiver connected to your TV (and/or VCR), you
may find that your ‘channel for satellite TV’ still works for your new digital channels. Try it to see - if
it works you do not need to perform RF tuning.
