Installation
What else do I need?
Smart card
If you wish to view premium services, you will need a smart card. This is available from
your service provider, Viasat.
Satellite dish
You will need a correctly-installed satellite dish, pointing at the correct satellite(s).
If you have a satellite dish but it is not pointing at the correct satellite(s), you
will need to make adjustments. Please see the information supplied with your
dish/LNB for details on how to do this, or seek professional advice.
If you do not have a satellite dish installed, please ask your dealer to recommend
a local dish-installation engineer.
Single LNB
If you have one LNB only, to ensure the simplest installation method, and for the best
Viasat channel line-up, you should use the ‘Sirius’ satellite, at 5° East. However, if you
prefer, you can set up your system for any one of the four satellites listed in the LNB
positions table below.
Multiple LNB set-up
If you are using a DiSEqC™ unit* with 2 or more LNBs/satellite dishes, to ensure a
simpler installation, and for the best Viasat channel line-up, you should connect up the
LNBs to the DiSEqC™ ports as shown in the LNB positions table below.
You must then connect your DiSEqC™ unit to the satellite input on your set-top box
(see also pages 8 and 9).
