Satellite settings

Setup4PC contains 3 configuration tabs. 
Every change has to be confirmed by using the Apply button. 
In the first Tab, "Satellite Settings" (fig. 1), there are different panels.

(Fig. 1) 

The first thing to do is to add a new satellite in the Satellite List panel. These satellite parameters will be loaded every time it is needed. Press the Add button in order to get the parameter window.


(Fig. 2)

The values Lnb Settings and DiSEqC have to be set according to the specifications of the installed satellite dish and LNB. The default values are working with a large number of kits, which have a Universal LNB with two oscillators set to 9.750 and 10.6 GHz.

The DiSEqC must be set only in case of a Dual Feed satellite dish. The setting value depends on the installed system type.

The frequency range used for multicast, broadcast and unicast transmissions should be set in the Transponder Management (Fig. 3) panel.

The required value for OPENSKYä is 11150 MHz Start Frequency to 11158 End Frequency.

The value for Symbol Rate is 22000 and the Step Size value can be 1 MHz

(Fig. 3)

If you press the Search & Scan button, the software starts searching all of the available PIDs for the specified frequency, but this does not set that automatically.

If you then press the Add button in the Transponder panel a new window appears (Fig. 4). 

The default values work with a large number of satellite kits, having a Universal LNB with two oscillators set to 9.750 and 10.6 GHz.
