NSTALL & C ONNECT THE HD PVR
Due to the many potential configurations in each home and the variety of equipment available, it is not
possible to cover every potential installation scenario. This guide offers information on connecting the
HD PVR to the satellite dish as well as 3 basic set-up options :
o Set-up 1 : HD PVR and 1 HD TV
o Set-up 2 : HD PVR, 1 HD TV and a Home Theatre System
o Set-up 3 : HD PVR and 1 Standard Definition TV
We encourage customers with technical queries to contact a MultiChoice Accredited Installer and to
make use of the technical forums on www.dstv.com.
IMPORTANT
MultiChoice recommends that installations and
connections of the HD PVR are done by a MultiChoice
Accredited Installer.
The HD PVR is designed to work with a 4-wire LNB
installation or a one wire SatCR installation. The HD
PVR will work on an existing twin LNB with two cables,
as long as the two cables from the LNB are split into 4
using a splitter device / multiswitch.
If your TV is marketed as “HD Ready” and does not
work with the HD PVR, we suggest you check the
components and / or contact the manufacturer of the
TV for assistance.
HD quality
content is only
available via HDMI.
The HDMI input on the
HD TV must be HDCP
compliant.
The 5.1 surround
sound is delivered
through the optical and
digital coaxial audio
outputs and is not
available via HDMI.
If the HD PVR is
being linked to another
XtraView decoder, visit
