channel on your TV.
If your set-top box is connected to your TV via an 
RF lead only, try selecting the appropriate ‘channel

satellite(s) (see page 9).
Check that nothing is blocking your satellite dish, for 
example a tree or high building.
There may be a temporary problem with the 
reception, caused, for example, by bad weather; try 
again later. If adverse weather conditions cause your 
dish and/or LNB(s) to move, you may need to re-
adjust them (see the information supplied with this 
equipment).
