Getting Started
With the launch of a second satellite, certain Bell ExpressVu customers will
have to upgrade their satellite system dish equipment to ensure they are
capable of receiving television signals from both Bell ExpressVu satellites,
Nimiq 1 and Nimiq 2. If you subscribe to one of Bell ExpressVu’s ‘specialty’
TV services such as High Definition TV or international programming then
you will have to complete this Multi-Satellite Antenna Upgrade in order to
watch these specialty channels.
This Multi-Satellite Antenna Upgrade Kit Installation Guide was developed
as an easy-to-use companion to the Installation Instructions and User Guide
originally provided with your satellite receiver and it outlines the necessary
changes that must be made to your current satellite dish antenna.
Before proceeding, please refer to your satellite system’s
“Installation Instructions/User Manual” for detailed Safety
Instructions.
• Do not locate the satellite dish antenna near overhead power
lines or electric lights.
• Do not install the satellite dish or its components in high winds
or when there is a danger of a lightning strike.
• Use safety glasses and avoid wearing loose clothing during
installation.
• Use caution with ladders.
• Use caution when working on your roof. Wear shoes with good
tread to ensure good traction on the roof surface and be sure
that your work path is clear and dry. Use of a safety harness is
recommended.
• Ground your satellite system as outlined in the original
instructions, and as prescribed by local electrical codes.
