Satellite Dish InstallationTo receive Freesat, you must connect your Freesat box to an appropriate satellite dish.

For safety reasons and to provide reliable reception, we strongly recommend that you have your dish installed by a professional. You may be able to use a satellite dish already installed at your home. If you have any questions about the satellite dish, please consult your installer.

This Freesat box requires two cables from your satellite dish (dual LNB) to enable you to view and record channels at the same time.

Connecting the Satellite Dish to the Freesat boxPlace the Freesat box on a firm, level surface close to the TV, a mains electricity socket, and the cables from the dish.

Connect the cables from your satellite dish to the back of your Freesat box. For full functionality of your Freesat+ recorder you will need to connect two cables from your satellite dish. If you only have one cable, please consult your retailer or installer for advice.

Connecting the two cables

• This allows you to watch one TV channel and record another. Connect the two separate cables from your satellite dish to each of the TUNER 1 (LNB IN) and TUNER 2 sockets. For this, your Satellite Dish must be fitted with a Low Noise Block (LNB) that has at least two outputs. Please check with your installer if you are not certain about this.

The “F-connector” used for the satellite dish cable connection has a central wire that is inserted into the hole in the TUNER 1 or TUNER 2 (LNB IN) sockets while the collar is screwed onto the socket. When screwing on the collar, make sure that the central wire goes into the socket hole and is not bent to one side.

The quality of your online viewing depends on your network connection speed. An absolute minimum speed of 1MB/sec is needed for any kind of viewing and for HD viewing you will need a minimum of 2MB/sec. These figures are the minimum acceptable- low connection speeds may result in erratic reception and in some cases a loss of signal.
