Using your Viasat box
Installation
Checking the signal
The Signal Test screen is now displayed. You use this screen to confirm that your box is receiving a
satellite signal.
The details on the screen show the satellite input numbers, together with a bar showing the strength
and quality of the signal being received from the satellite.
Your box must receive a signal strength between 49-79 dBuV, preferably above 64 dBuV. If the signal
strength is lower the picture quality is more easily affected by bad weather, such as rain, thunder
storms, etc. The signal quality should be 1.0E-7BER and the Lock Indicator should display ‘OK’ in order
to successfully find channels.
If there is no signal, check your installation. Check all the connections are properly made. See also the
section ‘Solving problems’ on page 61.
If the signal strength or quality is poor, adjust your dish/LNB as required, referring to the information
provided with the equipment.
◆ When you are satisfied that there is an adequate signal, press OK.
When you have completed the installation, a Subscription Activation screen is displayed. See
“Activating your subscription” on page 8.
❖ Switching on and off

mains socket.
