Frequently Ask Quesitons |
|
How do I connect the QPH-031 to 4
receivers? |
Take a look at this diagram. You
only need 2 - 3x4 multi-switches and a 2x1 DiSEqC switch for each of the
receivers you plan to use. Want to connect to 8 receivers? Just
swap out the 3x4 multi-switches for 3x8 multi-switches. |
What channels can I get
with your receiver? |
You will receive channels that are digital MPEG2 and not
scrambled.
You can find a listing of these channels (and others) on
http://www.lyngsat.com
or http://www.satcodx.com |
|
How do I read the charts? |
Quick guide to reading the charts |
What size dish do I
need for Ku reception? |
Normally, within the boundaries of the continental US, you
can use a 75cm dish. Fringe areas should use a 90cm or larger dish.
Southern Canada or Northern Mexico should use 90cm or larger.
Call your
DMS International Dealer for the details. |
Do you guarantee that
these channels will remain free? |
No, no one can guarantee "free channels". You will
receive these channels as long as they remain free and in the clear (not
scrambled). We provide hardware (receiver, LNBF, dish) and not
programming. We make no guarantees or claims about programming. |
|
I heard there are channels on C-band as
well. Will your receiver pick up C-band? |
Yes, it will receive C-band and Ku-band. Of course
C-band requires a larger dish and a C-band feed and LNB.
Call your
DMS International Dealer for the details. |
|
Can I add your receiver to my existing
C-band system. |
Yes, you can. If you want to receive Ku-band signals on
your C-band dish, you must have a Ku LNB on you feed system. This will usually
require a C to C/Ku upgrade kit.
Call your DMS International Dealer for the details.

|
How do I find the satellite? |
The satellite you want to use will be determined by the
programming you want to view. Telstar 5 is a very popular satellite for ethnic
channels. Locate your satellite/programming on one of the web sites
listed above and align your dish to that satellite.
|
|
How do I peak my dish? |
I suggest that you purchase a inexpensive signal meter
to help you locate the satellites. Ask for the SF-95 meter.
After finding the satellites, use the meter provided with your receiver to
peak the signal. |
|
What channels are available? |
Take a look at
http://www.lyngsat.com.
You can get an idea of the available programming from that site. |
|
How do I move my dish to get more
satellites and more channels? |
If you have a receiver that has DiSEqC 1.2
you can easily see more satellites and more channels by adding a
SG2100 DiSEqC motor to move your dish. Call
your DMS International Dealer for the details. |

LNBFs? |

What is the warranty of your LNBFs? |

copy of your invoice will be required as proof of purchase. |
|
I want two receivers. What do I
need? |
You will need a dual LNBF. Normally, this will be a
direct replacement for your existing LNBF. You will need to run a second coax from
the dual LNBF to your second receiver.

|
I want more than two receivers.
Now what do I need? |
You will need the dual LNBF and a device called a
multi-switch which allows for several receiver. The most common is a four receiver
switch. Diagram |
|
Can I use a diplexer to consolidate my
local broadcast channels with my satellite signal? |
Yes, you will need two diplexers, one to combine the signal
on the outside and another one to separate those signals on the inside of your home.
