Using your Viasat box
Installation
Inserting your smart card
1.
Take your smart card from its packaging (if you have not already done so) and hold it so that the
picture is facing upwards, and the ‘smart’ patch is facing downwards and at the end away from
you.
2.
Insert the smart card into the smart card slot of the front panel of your box. Insert it as far as it
will go, without forcing it.
Taking care of your smart card
◆
Do not remove and re-insert your smart card unnecessarily.
◆
Do not bend your smart card; keep it away from children and pets.
◆
Do not put your smart card in liquids or use cleaning fluids on it.
Activating your subscription
When you have completed the installation (see page 15), a Subscription Activation screen will be
displayed. Please follow the instructions that are given on the screen to get access to your Viasat
channel package.
Satellite dish
You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct satellite(s).
◆
If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct satellite(s), you will need to make
adjustments. Please see the information supplied with your dish/LNB for details on how to do
this, or seek professional advice.
◆
If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer to recommend a local dish-
installation engineer.
Quad LNB set-up
Since the PVR has two tuner inputs you need to duplicate the incoming signal. This is done by
replacing your existing Sirius Universal Single LNB with a Universal Quad LNB and install an extra
cable to the PVR, or, if you are a new customer, installing two cables to the PVR. One Universal Quad
LNB and 2 x 25 m coaxial cables are included in this package by Viasat.
Your choice of setup depends on the number of LNB:s in your antenna:
◆
One LNB - Your antenna is equipped with only one LNB. The antenna must be aligned towards
Sirius 5°East
◆
Two or more LNBs - If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with two or more LNBs/satellite dishes,
to ensure a simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should connect up
