❖ RF Tuning
If you have connected up your equipment via RF leads, you may need
to perform RF tuning before you can watch digital satellite TV.
RF tuning your TV (and VCR) to your set-top box
1. Make sure your set-top box is out of standby (the standby light
on the front panel should be green).
2. Consulting your TV’s user guide if necessary, tune the TV until
you can see the Countries screen (see page 16) on your TV
screen.
3. Store your new ‘channel for digital satellite TV’ on a TV channel
number of your choice. For example, if your terrestrial channels
are channels 1 to 5, and your ‘VCR channel’ is channel 8, you
may wish to use TV channel 9 as your ‘channel for digital satellite
TV’.
4. If you have a VCR, set your TV to its ‘VCR channel’, then tune
your VCR until you can again see the Countries screen.
If you cannot RF tune your TV (or VCR) to your set-top
box...
Your set-top box’s factory preset RF output channel is channel 38. (This
is not the same as a TV channel).
If channel 38 is not compatible with your TV, for example if it is already
being used as your VCR’s output channel, or for a terrestrial channel,
you may find you cannot tune your TV to your set-top box because of
interference.
Changing the RF output channel is covered in the setup section (see
page 35).
RF channels may also be known as UHF channels.
Note
If you have previously had an analogue satellite receiver connected to
your TV (and/or VCR), you may find that your ‘channel for satellite TV’
still works for your new digital channels. Try it to see - if it works you
do not need to perform RF tuning.
