DIGITAL SATELLITE TV ON THE MOVE
Receiving TV through a satellite is now becoming more popular than ever within the touring market. This is due to the fact that a good signal is always available wherever your location, as long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellite position.
Also with satellite, you get the benefit of having all of your existing Sky channels (available if you subscribe to Sky). Alternatively if you have a Free-To-Air receiver box (no contract required), you can benefit from a wider choice of TV & radio channels, compared to a digital terrestrial receiver. Most importantly, if you travel abroad into Europe you can watch your favourite UK channels (Over 200 channels) with a suitably sized satellite dish. ■ FREE-TO-AIR ■ FREE SAT (from SKY) ■ SKY, SKY+ ■ freesat 3 STEP GUIDE TO RECEIVING SATELLITE TV Please use this diagram as a general guide.

SATELLITE FOOTPRINT INFORMATION ASTRA SATELLITE FOOTPRINTS
Astra 2 North Beam Astra 2 South Beam Astra 2 UK (2D)
DISH ALIGNMENT IN SOUTHERN EUROPE Programmes on the ASTRA 2 cluster of satellites are beamed down to create three footprints, NORTH, SOUTH and UK. All FREE TO AIR and SKY programmes are received in these footprints.
Whilst travelling in the UK, you should be within all three of the footprints and with the right equipment, you should not have any problems with receiving all of the ASTRA transponders.
Outside of the UK, problems of reception and aligning the dish can start to occur. The default frequency of the SKY ‘Digibox’ is set to a transponder on the north beam. As you travel south and move out of the north footprint, you may need to change the default transponder of the ‘Digibox’ to match the south beam.
To change the default transponder setting, you will first need to access the hidden ‘INSTALLER SETUP’ menu. Then press the ‘SERVICES’ button on you SKY remote and then ‘4’ to access ‘SYSTEM SETUP’. Although it is not displayed, you will need to press ‘0’ then ‘1’ then ‘SELECT’ to access the ‘INSTALLER SETUP’ menu, then ‘2’ to enter ‘DEFAULT TRANSPONDER’.
The display will then show, from top to bottom:-
Frequency (GHz), Polarisation, Symbol Rate (Nbaud), FEC and Save new settings.
*Select ‘ FREQUENCY (GHz) and by typing in the relevant numbers, change the settings from ‘11.778’ to ‘11.597’. Using the arrow keys, change the settings to 11.597, 22, 5/6. When the changes have been made you will then need to ‘SAVE NEW SETTINGS’.
Press ‘BACK UP’ to return to main screen.

FAQ’S & TROUBLESHOOTING
Please call our friendly customer services team or email us through our website if there are any other questions or queries you have that are not listed below.
Can I use a digital Freeview receiver with my satellite system? 1 Unfortunately not, a terrestrial (Freeview) digital receiver will only work through a terrestrial digital aerial. For satellite you must use a satellite receiver.
Can I take my existing digital satellite receiver box from home? 2 If you do not wish to purchase an additional receiver for your travels and have a satellite receiver at home this will work fine. If you have a subscription card you will also get all your channels that you have paid for.
What is a Free-To-Air satellite receiver, and what channels are available? 3 See page 21 for further details.
How long will it take or how difficult is it to locate my required satellite? 4 If it’s your first time it may take you several minutes or you may be lucky and do it in seconds. As with everything, the more you do something, the quicker and easier it gets. Patience is the key with digital satellite signals, as you have to be very accurate aligning the dish and LNB to your required satellite in the sky.
Why am I receiving foreign channels, all I want is UK (English) channels? 5 This is because you’re receiving a signal from the wrong satellite. There are many satellites in the sky, however ASTRA 2 is the main satellite at present that transmits UK channels. If you have a Maxview Free-To-Air satellite receiver, check you have selected ASTRA 2, also identified as the satellite network ID number 0002 (see question 7 for more details).
Will my satellite system work when pointing through trees or buildings? 6 Satellite, unlike TV signals, will not work through objects. The dishes LNB must have clean line of sight to the satellite (in the sky).
Why do I have full signal strength and full signal quality on my Sky box but no picture? 7 You are currently on the wrong satellite. The satellite network ID number you should be set at is 0002. To look at this go to SERVICES, SYSTEM SETUP & SIGNAL TEST, the ID will change automatically, depending on which satellite you’re pointing at.
Why is my Sat Finder giving a high pitch tone, but I have no picture? 8 You could be on the wrong satellite, or sensitivity is set too high. It also takes time from when the Sat Finder detects a signal to when it is decoded by the receiver box. You need to give your receiver box approximately 5 seconds to decode the signal.
