There are 3 sections to this guide.
1. Unit setup.
2. Dish setup.
3. Channel locating and editing.
UNIT SETUP.
1. Remove unit from box and check for damage.
2. Install latest flash software on computer.
3. If your computer cable can reach your TV or you have a laptop,
you can hook the unit up to your TV. If your cable is not long
enough you will have to do this step near your computer.
4. The unit ONLY accepts a flash when it is first turned on or
when it is plugged in to power.
These are just a guideline but you should get the idea.
A. Turn UNIT OFF, or unplug it.
B. Connect NULL modem cable.
C. Run COMPUTER software.
D. Turn UNIT ON, or plug it in.
E. You should see the status bar start moving.
If your TV is on you can watch it on-screen also.
F. Watch the numbers on the UNIT, if they stop for more
than 60 seconds it has probably locked up. If so you
will need to UNPLUG it and restart from C above.
G. Once the unit TURNS ITSELF OFF, close the computer program.
H. The unit should turn back on automatically, if not then turn it back on.
I. Follow the steps on the screen, you should be taken to channel search.
If not, select INSTALL from the menu and you will be in channel search.
J. If you are taken to the channel search menu press EXIT then MENU and select
SYSTEM SETUP. Move down to FACTORY RESET and do a reset of the unit. This
will clear the unit and prepare it with the new data.
K. The unit should turn back on automatically, if not then turn it back on.
L. In CHANNEL SEARCH or INSTALL section move the pointer up and down until
you find Echostar 6/8 or 7. If you can see these, the flash took as there
are no U.S. satellites listed until the flash is completed.
If you do NOT see the Echostar satellites you will need to reflash. Start
at A above. Sometimes it can take up to 3 times to take the flash but most
take the first time.
M. In this example we will use an Echostar setup.
1. Move down to Echo 6/8 and highlight the LNB on the right. Press OK and
move up or down to the bottom selection a 00000 or whatever has the little
keyboard next to it. Enter 11250 for LNB frequency and press ok.
2. If you have a properly tuned antenna already you should see two bars at
the bottom showing Signal Strength and Signal Quality. The should read
at least 60/60 but most times will be higher in the 70/100 range.
IF YOU DO NOT SEE SIGNAL STRENGTH GO ALIGN YOUR DISH BEFORE CONTINUING.
N. Once you have a good signal strength. Press the RED button for SCAN. Just
keep pressing OK and let it scan for anything it can find. New channels will
show up a bright white and are preceded by the letters PR.
Rescanned channels will be a dull gray.
While this is happening you might copy a couple channels down and go to
DISH Network on EchoStar 8/10 at 110.0°W - LyngSat
check your PR#s against the SID#s at the site and when you find enough of them
that match you are probably on that satellite.
If the SID#s show you on the wrong satellite press MENU and stop. DO NOT SAVE.
Move your unit to the proper satellite and rescan again. Theres more about this
in the FAQ section here.
O. When all the channels are properly scanned onto the right satellite follow the steps
and save them. Select MENU and move to the SYSTEM SETUP Menu again. Find where it
says CHANNEL LOCK and turn CHANNEL LOCK OFF.
P. EXIT the menu and you should have TV Channels to watch.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------DISH SETUP.
This information is general in nature. Due to different locations,
specific numbers are not included.
The easiest way to get your dish pointed is have someone else do it!
If this is not an option there are a couple ways to accomplish this.
1. Setup using an old DTV or Dishnet dish using the setup guide
included in the DTV or Dishnet receiver. This is by far the
simplest method as the dishes are designed to be used by these
units.
2. Use a satellite pointing program. Using this method is a little
harder than above and you will need to have a receiver that you
can use to tune in with.
3. Blind trial and error or using a compass. This is the hardest
method but the one most people end up doing. Again you will need
to have a receiver that you can use to tune in with.
