Why do lines appear
on my screen when I connect my HD Digital Box to my TV with a Scart
lead? |
| Make
sure you connect your HD Digital Box to your HD ready TV using
a HDMI lead.
|
| Will I need an
aerial upgrade? |
No. freesat is not delivered through your aerial but via a
satellite dish, so no need for aerial upgrades, but you will
need a satellite dish.
|
| Do
I need a HD-ready television to watch high definition programmes? |
| You
need a HD-Ready television and a HD Digital Box in order to view
high definition programmes in high definition. You will also need
to connect the two together using a HDMI lead.
|
| In
which direction should my satellite dish be positioned? |
Your satellite dish should be fitted on a South facing wall
in the direction of 28.2° East of South.
|
| Can
I connect more than one freesat receiver to my satellite dish? |
Yes you can. You will need to have an LNB fitted that has more
than one connection. LNB’s typically have 1, 2, 4 or 8
connections. You will need one connection to the LNB for each
freesat Digital Box.
|
| Can
I use the satellite dish that is already at my property? |
Maybe. We recommend that your existing installation receives
a full ‘health check’ from a qualified installer.
Your retailer will be able to advise you about this when purchasing
your freesat Digital Box.
|
| Why
do I have to enter my postcode in the first time setup? |
This will enable you in the near future to receive programmes
from your local region. For example the local news and weather.
|
| What
equipment do I need so that I can receive freesat HD channels? |
You
will need a freesat HD receiver with an installation package,
a HD Ready TV with an available HDMI input, and a HDMI cable.
|
| How
do I do a ‘First Time Install’ again? |
Press
the ‘MENU’ button on your remote control, and
choose option ‘2’. Select ‘First Time
Install’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
|
| How
do I look for new system software? |
Press the ‘MENU’ button on your remote
control, and choose option ‘2’. Select ‘Receiver
Upgrade’ and press the ‘OK’ button.
|
| How
do I find out system information about my freesat receiver? |
Press the ‘MENU’ button on your remote control,
and choose option ‘0’. It is helpful to have this
information available when contacting us.
|
| How
do I change the default ‘Audio Language’? |
Press
the ‘MENU’ button on your remote control, and
choose option ‘2’. Select ‘Audio Language’.
The options are English, Welsh and Gaelic.
|
| Can
I use a SCART cable with my HD receiver? |
Yes,
but you will not be sending a high definition signal to your TV.
To get the very best out of your HD receiver you will need to
connect it to your HD Ready TV using a HDMI cable.
|
| Can
I connect my HD freesat receiver to my TV using a SCART and a HDMI
cable at the same time? |
No. If both
cables are connected you may experience some interference.
