TEMPORARILY CONNECT THE RECEIVER TO TV You must connect the receiver to your TV and make sure the Smart Card is installed to get the information to aim your satellite antenna. At this time, it is not necessary to fully wire your receiver to all your electronic equipment.
Installation and Setup Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL MOUNTING SITES When you are surveying your property for appropriate sites for the satellite antenna, keep in mind that you can mount the satellite antenna on a variety of surfaces: brick, cinder block, wood, some sidings, rooftop, or a pole.
Installation Guide ¥ If possible choose a site that is accessible in most weather conditions. You may need to clean snow, ice or debris off the satellite antenna. ¥ Place the satellite antenna as close to the receiver as possible. We recommend using no more than 30 meters of RG-6 (coaxial) cable between the receiver and the satellite antenna, unless you install a line amplifier to boost the signal. ¥ Consider seasonal changes.
Installation and Setup Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON BRICK We define "brick" as a solid brick wall or other structure. This does not include brick facing that is used on some buildings over the main structure. If you are mounting the satellite antenna on brick facing, see "Mounting the Antenna on Siding," below. You can mount the satellite antenna on a solid brick wall. ¥ The brick surface must be flat and even.
Installation Guide MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON CINDER BLOCK You can mount the satellite antenna on cinder blocks, whether they are part of a wall or the side of a building. ¥ The surface must be flat and even. ¥ Be sure that the cinder block and mortar are in good condition. ¥ We recommend using toggle anchors and machine bolts, inserted into the hollow of the block, as fasteners. Other types of anchors may not have the required strength.
Installation and Setup Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites MOUNTING THE ANTENNA ON WOOD You can mount the satellite antenna on a wooden deck, wooden beam, or other wooden surface. ¥ The surface must be flat and even. ¥ Be sure that the wood has a solid foundation, and is secured. It should be a strong piece that cannot be moved or jiggled. ¥ Do not mount the satellite antenna on a railing.
Installation Guide Vertical Mounting Surfaces with Mast The figure above shows how you should attach the mast to the foot for mounting on vertical surfaces. Horizontal Mounting Surfaces with Mast Pole Mounting Surfaces The figure above shows how you should attach the mast to the foot for mounting on horizontal surfaces. The figure above shows how you should attach the dish support and bracket to a mounting pole.
Installation and Setup Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites You may have either one or two LNBF cables to attach, depending on which type of LNBF you purchased and how many receivers are being installed. Note: If you have to attach two cables to the LNBF, the following instructions apply to both cables. Use only RG-6 coaxial cables with "F" connectors. Do not use the 1.8-meter RF or VHF cable supplied with the receiver. This cable is used for the receiver to TV connection. 5.
Installation Guide Tighten the mast clamp bolts so that the clamp is snug, but can still be moved back and forth. 11. Thread the LNBF cable into the cable hole near the mast foot, up the mast and out the top of the mast. Do not kink or pinch the cable. 12. Take the end of the cable coming out the top of the mast, and thread it up the mast sleeve of the support arm. 13. Loop the end of the cable over the pivot bolt. 14. Bring the cable back down on the outside of the mast sleeve, between the dish supports.
Installation and Setup Discussion of Potential Mounting Sites ¥ You can mount the satellite antenna on a metal pole that is attached to an existing building. Using this method, you can raise the satellite antenna to gain a line-of-sight view of the satellite if you cannot find a better location. Be sure to follow all safety requirements, and properly ground the satellite antenna and pole.
Installation Guide STEP 2: FIND THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR THE DISH The Dish must be at a location on your dwelling which gives a clear, year-round, unobstructed ÒviewÓ of the satellite and which is also free from occasional blockages due to vehicles or passers-by. Locating the appropriate site for your Bell ExpressVu dish is a two step process: First, use your compass and the satellite direction data provided in this guide, to estimate the general direction of the satellite.
Installation and Setup Find The Right Location For The Dish WHERE IS IT? The Bell ExpressVu satellite orbits the Earth over the equator. For everyone in Canada, this means that the satellite will be south of your location. The Bell ExpressVu satellite is approximately 35,680 kilometers above the surface of the Earth. It is in what is called a "geosynchronous orbit." This means that the satellite stays aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth.
Installation Guide 1. Take a compass and the direction and elevation numbers to your planned location for the satellite antenna. (VERY IMPORTANT) Make sure the compass is well away from metal objects, and that there are no magnetic or electronic devices nearby. Holding the compass so the needle can swing freely, turn the compass until the dark end of the compass needle is aligned on the N. This points to magnetic North.
Installation and Setup Assembling The Dish STEP 3: ASSEMBLING THE DISH The following section outlines the assembly procedure for all four dish sizes: 46 cm, 60 cm, 90 cm, and 120 cm. The overall assembly procedure is similar for all sizes, but there are some specific differences which are addressed in four separate sections. Please refer to the section which is relevant to the dish size you have purchased: ¥ ¥ ¥ ¥ Step 3.1 Step 3.2 Step 3.3 Step 3.
Installation Guide 2. Determine your specific vertical elevation from the Table (page 1-44) and adjust the angular tilt of the antenna so that the edge of the red mark on the gauge is set to your vertical elevation. In our diagram here, it is set for 38.5 degrees. 3. Lightly tighten the bolt on the gauge side of the angular pivot; leave the bolt on the back side slightly loose. 4. Your antenna assembly is now ready to be placed on the outdoor mount assembly.
Installation and Setup Assembling the 46cm Dish 4. Mark the location of one of the holes and remove the mount. 5. Drill the hole and attach the mount foot with the one fastener only. 6. Now, once again, position the top of the mast to be approximately plumb; then place a level on the side of the pipe and pivot the mount foot slightly around the one attachment and adjust the mount foot to make the pipe vertical. Once achieved, drill the other 3 holes while the mount foot is still properly in place.
Installation Guide 3. Attach the LNBF to the LNBF cable(s). Slide the weather boot up securely to cover the cable/LNBF connection at the base of the LNBF. 4. Slip the LNBF onto the end of the arm, until contact is made with the LNBF bracket stops and put in screw through arm and LNBF. 5. Route and fasten the cable in a neat, unobtrusive manner in such a way so it cannot be damaged by accident. Connect the opposite end of the cable to your receiver, to the connector marked ÒSatellite InÓ. 6.
Installation and Setup Assembling the 60cm Dish 2. Determine your specific vertical elevation from the Table (page 1-44) and adjust the angular tilt of the antenna so that the edge of the red mark on the gauge is set to your vertical elevation. In our diagram here, it is set for 38.5 degrees. 3. Lightly tighten the bolt on the gauge side of the angular pivot; leave the bolt on the back side slightly loose. 4. Your antenna assembly is now ready to be placed on the outdoor mount assembly.
Installation Guide 4. Mark the location of one of the holes and remove the mount. 5. Drill the hole and attach the mount foot with the one fastener only. 6. Now, once again, position the top of the mast to be approximately plumb; then place a level on the side of the pipe and pivot the mount foot slightly around the one attachment and adjust the mount foot to make the pipe vertical. Once achieved, drill the other 3 holes while the mount foot is still properly in place.

Installation Guide 2. Determine your specific vertical elevation from the Table (page 1-44) and adjust the angular tilt of the antenna so that the centre of the top bolt on the Mast Head Clamp lines up with your vertical elevation position on the Mast Head elevation gauge. In our diagram here, it is set for 50 degrees. VERTICAL ELEVATION GAUGE 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 3. Lightly tighten the two bolts located in the curved slots on the mast head. Leave the pivot bolt slightly loose. 4.
Installation and Setup Assembling the 90cm Dish Here is how it can be done: FRONT VIEW PRESS LEVEL AGAINST MOUNT 1. Place the mount foot on the surface location where you intend to attach it to the structure. 2. Mark the location of one of the 2 holes and remove the mount. 3. Drill the hole and attach the mount foot with the one fastener only. Mountfoot 4. Place a spirit level on the top and side of the foot and pivot the foot to make it level and plumb.
Installation Guide STEP 3.3C: INSTALLING THE DISH ON THE MOUNT (90 CM DISH) You have installed the mount on your dwelling and you have pre-assembled the antenna unit, ready to be installed on the mount. There are just a few steps here: 1. Slide the antenna assembly over the mast. 2. Lightly tighten the four nuts on the back of the mast clamp, so that the antenna can pivot in the East/West directions but not be loose. 3. You are ready to carry out the antenna alignments, as soon as the wiring in Step 3.
Installation and Setup Assembling the 120cm Dish STEP 3.4: ASSEMBLING THE 120 CM DISH STEP 3.4A: PRE-ASSEMBLE THE PARTS (120 CM DISH) ItÕs best to pre-assembly the dish indoors, so that it is all ready to place on the mast outdoors, quickly and easily ... especially if itÕs cold out. The complete system consists of three main parts: the dish mount, the dish assembly, and the receiver. The mount consists of the foot (base plate) and a bent pipe called the mast.
Installation Guide STEP 3.4B: ATTACHING THE MOUNT TO YOUR DWELLING (120 CM DISH) The mount should be attached to your dwelling before putting the dish assembly on it. When fastening it to your wall or roof, etc., make sure that the top portion is ÒplumbÓ; you can get it right by using a spirit level on both the front and side of the top piece. It is important to affix the mount firmly to your structure with the appropriate fasteners so that the wind canÕt move it.
Installation and Setup Assembling the 120cm Dish 8. Attach the two struts to the mast with the supplied hardware. Tighten the bolt for a snug fit that still allows some slight movement of the struts. 9. Position the foot of each strut squarely on the mounting surface and mark the holes for drilling. Prior to drilling the strut holes, confirm with the spirit level that the mast is still vertical. This is a critical check to ensure proper alignment. 10.
Installation Guide 3. Slip the weather boot(s) onto the LNBF cable(s). To do this, insert the end of the cable with the screw connector into the smaller end of the boot and work it through. When you are finished the boot should slide freely over the cable but hold snugly when slipped up over the the screw connector. Be patient. This is a difficult and somewhat painstaking job. (If possible, place weather boot on cable before putting on ÒFÓ connector). 4. Attach the LNBF to the LNBF cable(s).
Installation and Setup Installing The Receiver STEP 4: INSTALLING THE RECEIVER Connect the output of the satellite receiver to your TV as described in the Bell ExpressVu User Manual, and turn on the Bell ExpressVu receiver. Use your new remote control to carry out the following steps (the remote control operation is fully described in the User Manual). Note that the Bell ExpressVu receivers are configured at the factory for English language operation.
Installation Guide GROUND AND WIRE THE SATELLITE ANTENNA As with any such electronic devices, the satellite antenna and the coaxial cable(s) should be grounded in accordance with local electrical codes to protect against damage caused by lightning strikes and other electrical discharges. This section provides some suggestions on grounding both satellite antennae and the cable. BEFORE YOU START The following guidelines apply to all grounding systems: 1.
Installation and Setup Ground and Wire The Satellite Antenna 3.Insert one end of the ground wire into the grounding terminal on the grounding block. Tighten the screw to hold the wire firmly. 4.Attach the other end of the ground wire to the clamp on the grounding rod. Tighten the screw to secure the ground wire to the grounding clamp. Tighten the grounding clamp to the grounding rod. 5.Use the cable clips to attach the cable to the side of the building. This helps prevent damage.
Installation Guide STEP 5: ALIGNING THE DISH This is the final step to be completed before ordering your program package. If your antenna mast is plumb, it can be accomplished very quickly; however, be patient with the adjustments, as this step can be tricky. The process of aligning the dish involves two steps. First, you must find the satellite to obtain a reading on the signal strength bar.
Installation and Setup Aligning The Dish Remote Buttons Menu Options 4. Press the Menu button to open the Main Menu. 5. Select the System Setup option. 6. Select the Installation option. 7. Select the Point Dish and Signal Strength option. You will now see the Point Dish and Signal Strength menu. 8. You must now enter the correct number transponder. Use your cursor controls to enter no.11 in the transponder box on the screen. 9. Now you are ready to carry out the alignment of your dish.
Installation Guide Note: The signal strength indicator will turn from red to green and audio tone will increase in pitch as you get closer to optimizing the dish. Once you see a clear picture on your TV, a stronger signal will not noticeably affect the picture quality, however, it is important to continue adjustments until the absolute maximum signal strength is obtained, to ensure the most reliable signal possible in all weather conditions.

Installation and Setup Order Your Bell ExpressVu Programming ORDER YOUR BELL EXPRESSVU PROGRAMMING This procedure notifies the Bell ExpressVu Customer Service Call Centre that your system is on-line and installed. You need to have your services activated before you can start enjoying your desired programming. Prior to authorization, you will see the Bell ExpressVu XPRS Preview Channel and perhaps an unscrambled program channel such as CBC.
Installation Guide PROGRAM THE REMOTE For certain models of Bell ExpressVu receivers you can program the remote to control not only the receiver, but your VCR, TV, and amplifiers. This remote supports most brands and models; however, there may be some brands or models that it does not support. You can program the remote to control a maximum of four different electronic components.
Installation and Setup Security Features SECURITY FEATURES There are two levels of security: receiver security and Bell ExpressVu Customer Service Call Centre security. Each method works independently of the other. You can use either method or both methods, or you can decide not to use the security features at all. RECEIVER SECURITY Receiver security locks control which channels or programs can be viewed, and whether services such as Bell ExpressVu PPV events can be purchased using the receiver.
Installation Guide SMART CARD The Smart Card identifies your receiver to the Bell ExpressVu network. The Smart Card authorizes descrambling of the satellite signal, and authorizes purchases using the receiver. Your receiver will not work without the Smart Card that was shipped with it. You cannot use a Smart Card that was shipped with another system in your receiver. Be careful not to bend or damage your Smart Card. Your Smart Card is not covered by your Limited Warranty.
Installation and Setup Wire Your System Together WIRE YOUR SYSTEM TOGETHER MULTIPLE RECEIVERS Each output on the LNBF can support a single receiver. You cannot connect two receivers to the same output (for example, by using a line splitter), because the two receivers would interfere with each other during channel selection. This is a characteristic of satellite television in general, and is not a limitation that is specific to this Bell ExpressVu system.
Installation Guide RF OR VHF CONNECTIONS (GOOD PICTURE AND SOUND) Cable Connectors on Receiver The RF or VHF connections (also called the modulator connections) provide good picture and good mono ("non-stereo") sound quality. Be aware that even if you have a TV and other equipment that support stereo sound, this type of connection will give you only non-stereo sound.
Installation and Setup Wire Your System Together PHONO (RCA) AUDIO/VIDEO CONNECTIONS (BETTER PICTURE, BEST SOUND) Cable Connectors on Receiver VIDEO 1 VIDEO R R AUDIO 1 AUDIO 2 The phono (RCA) connections provide better picture quality and the best stereo sound. You should use this type of connection for audio, if possible, and for the video if your equipment does not support S-VIDEO (see following).
Installation Guide S-VIDEO CONNECTIONS (BEST PICTURE) Cable Connectors on Receiver S-VIDEO, also called super-video or SVHS, provides the best possible picture. Many newer TVs and VCRs support S-VIDEO. If you use these connections, you must still connect the audio signal using the phono (RCA) audio connectors; however, you would not use the phono (RCA) video connectors. The S-VIDEO connections carry only the video signal.

Installation Guide ASSEMBLE THE SATELLITE ANTENNA What is Happening Possible Reasons Why The support arm and bracket are separate pieces. You want your system to support two receivers, but you have only a single output LNBF. Some models of the support arm/bracket require assembly. You must have a dual output LNBF to support two receivers. You must also run a separate coaxial cable from each LNBF output to each receiver. This is a feature of satellite TV in general, not just the Bell ExpressVu system.
