# DiSEqC/LNB/Satellite setup

Use this dialog to change the settings for DiSEqC, LNB and the Satellite you are going to use according to your satellite dish configuration.
Click OK to apply your change and close the window or click Cancel to discard your changes.

## DiSEqC setup

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) setup is only needed if you have a connection to satellite dish system allowing you to use satellites on different orbital positions that are accessed through one coax antenna cable via DiSEqC switches.

### No DiSEqC

Choose this option if you are directly connected to a satellite dish with only one orbital position.

### Simple DiSEqC

Choose this options when you are connected to a switch with "Tone Burst" control (also known as "Mini-DiSEqC" or "Simple DiSEqC"). You are able to use two LNBs.

### DiSEqC Version 1.0

Select this option if the
is connected to a switch box or multi-switch with DiSEqC control. You can select between four options. The specific settings can be found from the documentation of the DiSEqC switch box or DiSEqC multi-switch, respectively.

## LNB/Satellite position

Depending on your DiSEqC system you have up to four LNBs with different orbital positions and options. They are set with the according check box. Afterwards choose the satellite from the list.

## Reception test

Click on [ ... ] for a reception test and where necessary a setup for the selected satellite.
You can set the frequency, symbol rate and polarization. Your changes will be applied after clicking OK or discarded by clicking Cancel. You can also change the LNB setup.

### Transponder

Choose a transponder. Frequency, symbolrate, polarization, and signal level are update automatically.

### Frequency

Set up the transponder frequency by entering the value in MHz.

### Symbol rate

Set up the symbol rate by entering the value in kS/s. The value is needed that the transponder will be recognized.

### Polarization (H/V)

Set the polarization (horizontal oder vertical).

### Signal level

A status bar indicates the Signal level for the current transponder. To guarantee a flawless reception the level should be as high as possible.

## LNB setup

The transponder frequency of television satellites is usually within the range of 10 GHz or higher. During the transfer of such high frequencies, the absorption losses are excessive in the coax cable and at the antenna in the LNB (Low Noise Block, sometimes also called LNC - Low Noise Converter). Therefore, a conversion to a lower frequency range is necessary: Sat-ZF (950 through 2150 MHz). This is also the incoming frequency range of digital satellite receivers such as your
.

### LOF 1

Local Oscillator Frequency. This indicates what amount of the incoming frequency is transferred. The
needs this value in order to be able to process the actual incoming frequencies. The LOF is imprinted on the LNB. Digital suited universal LNBs have 2 LOFs, one for the Low band (also 11-GHz band) and one for the High band (also 12-GHz band). Switching between the two LOFs takes place by means of a 22-kHz signal. LOF 1 is the local oscillator frequency for the Low band.

### LOF 2

LOF 2 is the local oscillator frequency for the High band. See LOF 1.

### Switch

Indicates, for universal LNBs, the frequency between Low and High band change over (by means of 22-kHz signal).

### Voltage

This enables or disbables LNB power supply. Should always be activated.

### Default

Sets everything back to its default values.
