ALIGN YOUR STAR CHOICE SYSTEM
WITHOUT THE NEED TO HIRE A TECHNICIAN!
THIS COST-EFFECTIVE SYSTEM
MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DO-IT-YOURSELFER.
HIDDEN BONUS IS THAT THE
RECEIVER CAN BE USED WITH ANOTHER DISH FOR FREE TO AIR SIGNALS.
Start out by connecting a
jumper cable to your LNB or LNBF. Install the In-Line Satellite Tuning
Meter, and then another jumper cable that ends up at the Traxis DBS-3500
receiver. Bring a television monitor out to the antenna, connect to AC
power, and you are ready to go. Look at the Global Communications
website's SATELLITE POINTING ANGLES area, or from custom installation
instruction sheets supplied with Antennas shipped by us, and set the Elevation
angle accordingly. Listening to the audible tone on the In-Line Satellite
Tuning Meter, rotate the antenna left and right. Once you hear a louder
higher-pitched tone, stop for a moment and then very carefully adjust the knob
on the meter so that the needle is at about mid-scale. Check up and down
as well as left and right and align for strongest signal. Now, using the
Traxis DBS-3500, which has been preprogrammed for all satellites, turn on its
metering circuit, which can positively identify WHICH satellite you are on, by
the process of elimination. Once you have located one satellite, and armed
with a set of pointing angles for your location, you are on the way to getting
things right.
This system takes the confusion out of Star Choice (Canada) installs when you
may not have a current subscription on your receiver. It can positively
identify both Anik F1R (107.3) and Anik F2 (111.1) satellites, whether they be
on separate antennas (recommended) or with the skewable elliptical dish supplied
from Canada and equipped with the Quad LNBF. Perfect alignment can be
achieved, and then new receivers can be called in to the programmer for
activation.
Same solution, different situation with the SKYVISION DSR-410 Digicipher 2
system for subscription programming from the X-4 satellite (Ku-band side of 99
West, Galaxy 16 satellite). It is better to absolutely identify the
satellite you are pointed to before calling in for an authorization
hit.
Those with dialup Internet service that uses a satellite antenna for the receive
side will find this system a huge help in confirming that you are on the correct
spacecraft, before confronting the sometime minefield known as configuring your
computer. Get it right BEFORE calling in to set up your
service. It's just so much more efficient this way. And when
you are done using the DBS-3500 as an alignment tool, find another 30 to 36 inch
antenna with Ku-band LNBF, and enjoy free programming from sources such as
Galaxy 10R at 123 or Galaxy 25 at 97 West. The whole world can be at your
fingertips, and this hardware costs no more than an average installer service
call---and provides so much more value.
