satellites to your <strong>DVB</strong> card. (More than one satellite feed requires a DiSEqC switch). For each LNB you<br />
must enter the proper settings of LOF1, SWITCH, and LOF2.<br />
If you have only one LNB/antenna to your <strong>DVB</strong> card, select NONE on the DiSEqC box. If you connected<br />
many satellites or LNBs to your <strong>DVB</strong> card, select 1.0 OR 2.0 in the DiSEqC switch boxes.<br />

In the LNB settings window, select the correct values. Most satellites use the settings as in the following<br />

Type: Ku or circular<br />
LOF1: 11250<br />
SWITCH : 12700<br />
LOF2: 0<br />
POWER option is when your card powers the LNB. Once done, you are ready to scan your selected satellites.<br />
