All our receivers are designed to be DiSEqC 1.0 compatible. This allows multiple antennae
to be connected to the STB simultaneously.
If you have two or more fixed antennae or LNBs, you can use a DiSEqC 1.0 switch.
1. Connect the coaxial cable from the first LNB to the LNB 1 or LNB A DiSEqC switch input
connector.
2. Connect the coaxial cable from the second LNB to the LNB 2 or LNB B DiSEqC switch in
put connector.
3. Do the same for the other LNBs.
4. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the RF DiSEqC switch output connector and the
other end to the LNB IN socket on the STB.
Please refer to page GB46.
You can connect either a single satellite antenna directly to the digital receiver or several
antennae via the converter box or multi-feed equipment LNB.
You can connect a further Sat-receiver (for example analogue) to the common antenna
equipment receiver that has satellite signals.
If you have another analogue or digital STB and you wish to use the same LNB, then you
can connect it via the loop via. Connect one end of a Coaxial cable to the LNB OUT
on the STB and connect the other end to the LNB IN on your second STB.

The HUMAX digital set-top box is a highly sophisticated product-incorporating one of the
best software applications.
Whenever a problem is found with this software or extra functions or enhanced
applications are added, the software in the equipment must be upgraded.
In order to maintain correct product performance, it is essential to have the most
Up-to-date software. The latest news and releases on software versions may be found at
the HUMAX website - http://www.humaxdigital.com.
It is recommended that users register with HCSA (HUMAX Customer Service Area) and
periodically check the availability of software upgrade.
There are three methods for upgrading the software:
(a) set-top box to set-top box download (copies the software from the main unit into the slave
unit);
(b) PC to set-top box download (downloads the software directly from the PC to the model
requiring upgrading);
(c) OTA over-the-air (downloads the software, where the manufacturer reserves the right to
decide when and where to release via the satellite system).
Over The Air (OTA) is simply another alternative for downloading software versions.
However, the manufacturer reserves the right to decide when and where this software
upgrade takes place by "beaming" the latest software versions over the air via satellite
systems. Note that OTA is limited to certain geographical regions only, mainly due to
different satellites having different footprints (areas where the signal can be received).
SUSS (TM) is an official trademark and logo for HUMAX loader software to perform OTA.
The software upgrade via the satellite system can only occur under the following
circumstances:
1) the equipment should have appropriate loader software;
2) the manufacturer decides to release software downloading via a designated satellite
system;
3) the equipment must be properly "tuned" to the same satellite as the one used by the
manufacturer.

• You can use a special antenna switch with DiSEqC commands.
When changing ASTRA1 to EUTELSAT, for example, a DiSEqC command is sent
with the 22KHz tone via the antenna cable. The antenna switch will change
ASTRA1 to EUTELSAT. The DiSEqC concept is a protective trademark of
EUTELSAT.
• Data rate decides the picture quality of digital TV programmes.
The data rate of about 5-6 Mbit/s coincides with the picture quality of an analogue
TV programme.
