FIRST TIME INSTALLATION

Select one of these alternatives when you have a single antenna
equipped with 2 LNBs, or two antennas with one LNB on each,
and want to watch channels from ASTRA/HOTBIRD or THOR/
SIRIUS.

In this case you must first connect the LNBs to an external switch
since there is only one antenna input on the Mediamaster. Once
installed the switch automatically selects the correct LNB for the
selected channel.

This external switch is better known as a DiSEqC

TM

switch. Since

the switch can be located close to the LNBs, you only need one
cable down to the Mediamaster.

Connection of a two port DiSEqC switch:

• Connect the cable from the LNB intended for channels from

ASTRA (or THOR) to the connector marked LNB 1 (A) on the
switch.

• Connect the cable from HOTBIRD (or SIRIUS) to the connec-

tor marked LNB 2 (B).

• Then, connect the antenna cable to the connector marked OUT

on the switch.

• Connect the other end of this cable to the ANTENNA input in

the rear of the Mediamaster.

• First check, as described in paragraph Antenna adjustment

and signal check on page 14, that you get picture and sound
from ASTRA (THOR).

• When you have picture and sound continue to the next row

and check HOTBIRD (SIRIUS) for picture and sound.

• When the HOTBIRD(SIRIUS) check is ready, press OK to start

the channel search procedure. The box now starts searching
and downloading channels from both satellites. See “Channel
search” on page 18.
