Frequently Asked Questions about Satellite TV Kits

Q: Can I get a copy of the user manuals and quick set up guide?

A: Yes, they are all available here.

Q: How do I find the correct elevation angle for my location?

A: See our guide here for a map and list of common locations, or if you have an iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone or tablet you can use one of the apps such as “Satfinder” to use the GPS receiver to pinpoint your location and tell you the correct elevation. On a computer visit www.dishpointer.com and enter your location. For UK free to air satellite you want to select the “28.2 E Astra 1N” (or “28.2 E Astra 2D”) option.

Q: I’m not getting all the channels that should be available.

A: You might need to do a channel update scan to get the latest list of channels and channel numbers from the satellite, see our guide on doing that here.

A: Press the “Info” button on the remote control so you can see the signal strength screen, the LNB LED should now be lit.
