Step 7: While listening to the meter, apply gentle pressure to the top
of the dish to move the dish – first slightly downward, then upward
to see if you can increase the signal strength further. Carefully
adjust the elevation until you’ve maximized the signal. Tighten the
Elevation Adjustment Bolts.
Step 8: Follow the steps described in Fine Tuning (Section 8) to
obtain the highest reading possible on the signal strength meter.
Step 9: The dish should now be peaked to its maximum. Remove
the Satellite Finder and plug the LNB directly into the receiver.
Confirm the signal strength by checking the on-screen signal
strength meter, as described in the previous section.

The Shaw Direct dish kit includes the following items to ground the
outdoor coaxial cable:
■
coax cable connector Grounding Block
■
Grounding Wire
■
Grounding clamp
Outdoor coaxial cable that may be subject to static discharge
or contact with electrical wiring must be grounded through a
grounding block located as close as possible to the cable entry
point (see Figure L).
■
run the Grounding Wire for the coaxial cable from the Grounding Block
connector to a cold water pipe nearest the cable entry point.
■
Wrap the copper grounding strap around the cold water pipe. tighten the
strap using a bolt and secure the ground wire under the binding post nut,
as illustrated below.
important: For more information on grounding, refer to the receiver’s
User Guide included with your Shaw direct system.

■
the cable can be plugged into any of the 4 available ports on the quad LnB,
but must be plugged into the Sat in port on the Shaw direct receiver.
■
make sure all cables are secure and re-verify your azimuth, elevation and skew
setting for your location. the settings straight section must be plumb.
■
adjust the elevation by +1 degree from the settings you recorder earlier
and repeat the steps in Section 7 to acquire Shaw direct signal.
■
adjust the elevation by –1 degree from your original settings you recorded
earlier and repeat the steps in Section 7 to acquire Shaw direct signal.
■
ensure cables are connected properly at the grounding block.

■
Unplug the receiver, wait 30 seconds and plug it back in. turn on the
receiver and try selecting channel 299 with your remote (advanced
receivers).
if you have a legacy receiver and cannot access channel 299,
try 284.
If you still can’t select or acquire signal on 284 or 299, call us at
1.888.554.7827 for further assistance.
