Trouble Shooting
YOU HAVE NO PICTURE
1. Be sure you have a clear line of sight. The signal from the satellite(s)
WILL NOT pass through trees, buildings, mountains etc. Remember the
antenna has a 24° offset, this means that when the antenna is straight up
and down, (90°) it is looking 24° into the sky. See Figure 2.
2. Do you have the TV set tuned for the correct channel 3 or 4 (same
channel as output of the receiver)?
3. Have you entered the correct zip code into the receiver? If zip code is
wrong, you might be looking in the wrong direction/elevation for the satellite.
4. Check connections at receiver, TV , and antenna.
5. Check the TV. Does it receiver pictures from off-air TV stations/VCR?
6. Retune system for best picture, using procedure on page 3.

slightly bent, the receiver may not receive any signal.
