Route the cable to the Receiver - attach it via 'F' connector (don't
clip the cable to the wall yet !) |
| 6 |
Attach the receiver to the TV via the scart and turn the receiver
to channel one (TF1) |
| 7 |
Set the TV to this scart input (normally number two) - you should
just get white noise |
| 8 |
While somebody else watches for a change in the picture slowly turn
the satellite dish towards 5-degree west - it is a fine adjustment
so be patient - you will have nothing and then voila it is there.
Check all channels are showing though. |
| 9 |
Some channels may have some intermittent white dots across the picture.
If so, you need to adjust the elevation of the dish slightly either
up or down until the picture is perfect. |

If your channels 1-6 are in b/w then you do not have a SECAM
compatible TV and you will need to buy one or a converter box ** ,
expect to pay about £90 for one. |
| 11 |
If you have a secam compatible video recorder then you can plug
the receiver into the video scart two socket rather than the TV but
don't do this until the simple TV/Satellite link is working. |

It might be worth asking when you buy the equipment how long the
analogue channels are to continue being broadcast on satellite telecom
2b. I heard some rumours that they may stop broadcasting in analogue
but that was two years ago. |

The problem with converter boxes is that if you want to have a
video recorder in the sequence i.e the sat receiver plugged into
the video and the video into the converter box and then into the
TV, then any on screen display functions generated by your video
will be lost. It will record and play fine though. (part
