3 DIGITAL SATELLITE TV ON THE MOVE Receiving TV through a satellite is now becoming more popular than ever within the touring market. This is due to the fact that a good signal is always available wherever your location, as long as you have a clear line of sight to the satellite position. Also with satellite, you get the benefit of having all or your existing Sky channels (available if you subscribe to Sky). Alternatively if you have a Free-To-Air receiver box (no contract required), you can benefit from a wider choice of TV & radio channels, compared to a digital terrestrial receiver. Most importantly, if you travel abroad into Europe you can watch your favourite UK channels (Over 200 channels) with a suitably sized satellite dish. FREE-TO-AIR FREE SAT SKY 3 STEP GUIDE TO RECEIVING DIGITAL SATELLITE TV Please use this diagram as a general guide. All of our products include fully illustrated installation and detailed user instructions 1 Firstly, decide if you are going to be travelling abroad or staying in the UK. Different sized satellite dishes determine how far you can go to pick up UK channels (See page 6 for a guide). Choose your preferred satellite system - fixed roof mounted or portable options are available. Fixed system Optional Portable system Optional 2 Install satellite system and route coaxial cable into vehicle using optional cable entry accessories and connect to a compatible satellite receiver. Then simply plug receiver into your TV using a scart to scart lead. Coaxial cable 3 Finally locate and carefully tune in to your chosen satellite (ASTRA 2 for UK channels). Optional satellite finding accessories are available to quicken the process. We strongly recommend the use of a Sat-Finder. See our full range of satellite equipment on the following pages!

4 DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TV ON THE MOVE Receiving TV through a terrestrial aerial is the traditional method of receiving TV on the move. With the Digital Switchover looming, you will need to purchase either a Freeview box or a digital terrestrial receiver with a suitable aerial to get digital TV. Receiving a good quality, watchable picture through an aerial can depend upon your location. FREEVIEW TOP-UP TV 3 STEP GUIDE TO RECEIVING DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TV Please use this diagram as a general guide. All of our products include fully illustrated installation and detailed user instructions Firstly, decide what type of aerial you prefer. Outdoor Omni-directional, directional or indoor aerials are available (All of our aerials are digital compatible). If you choose to have an outdoor aerial then decide on a suitable location to fix the aerial. There are various mounts and masts available depending on which type of aerial you have. Route coaxial cable into your vehicle using optional cable entry accessories and connect to a compatible digital receiver box. Then simply plug the receiver box into your TV using a scart to scart lead. Finally locate and carefully tune into your chosen local TV transmitter.

5 SATELLITE DISH INFORMATION The Omnisat dish range has been carefully selected to meet the requirements of every customer. We provide affordable satellite dishes that suit UK and European reception. Satellite operators transmit their signals at a very low power from the Earth to a given satellite. The satellite then amplifies these signals, converts them to a different frequency and transmits them back to Earth. Each satellite has many transmitting antennae that transmit different channels or programmes to different regions of Europe and the World. The transmitting ray of a single antenna is called a beam. Upon reaching the Earth s surface this beam is known as the footprint and is the predicted coverage area of a satellite signal. EXCLUSIVE MAXVIEW 66E Digital The 66E Digital is an exclusive design, which has been developed within the Omnisat range. Since its introduction the 66E Digital has established itself as the brand leader. The elliptical profile together with a matched universal LNB is designed to improve signal quality strength, compared to a traditional round dish of similar size. Independent tests have proven that the 66E Digital dish will perform where a larger antenna is normally required. 66E Digital Suitable for all of UK and Europe LNB Feedhorn specifically designed to match dish for optimum reception and maximum performance Narrow beam width reduces interference from other satellites Reduced wind resistance & Robust design Ideal for use with the Omnisat Tripod Patented feed design as used by Sky Digital* 66E DIGITAL DISH 54cm Suitable for UK and central Europe Lightweight construction Ideal for use with the Omnisat Tripod 40cm Ideal for UK use only Metal/Plastic composite for greater strength to weight ratio Coverage Weight Actual Size Finish Operating Frequency 66E Digital UK & Europe 2.7kg 58cm x 82cm Powder-coat paint to 12.75GHz 54cm UK & Central Europe 1.2.kg 54cm Powder-coat paint to 12.75GHz 40cm Ideal for UK use only 0.4kg 40cm Plastic to 12.75GHz *Sky Digital is a registered trademark 06

Azimuth Angle between true north and a particular satellite. Can be measured with a compass. Elevation Angle between the earth's surface and a particular satellite at a given reception point (0 for horizontal and 90 for vertical). LNB (Low Noise Block) Is the device which receives and collects the satellite signal reflected from the dish. PRODUCT SYMBOLS KEY Footprints This represents the broadcasting coverage area of a particular satellite. Digital TV More efficient means of transmitting television services, which offers more channels and interactive services, as well as improved picture and sound quality.

All FREE TO AIR and SKY programmes are received in these footprints. Whilst travelling in the UK, you should be within all three of the footprints and with the right equipment, you should not have any problems with receiving all of the ASTRA transponders. Outside of the UK, problems of reception and aligning the dish can start to occur. The default frequency of the SKY Digibox is set to a transponder on the north beam. As you travel south and move out of the north footprint, you may need to change the default transponder of the Digibox to match the south beam. To change the default transponder setting, you will first need to access the hidden INSTALLER SETUP menu. First press the SERVICES button on you SKY remote and the 4 to access SYSTEM SETUP. Although it is not displayed, you will need to press 0 then 1 then SELECT to access the INSTALLER SETUP menu, then 2 to enter DEFAULT TRANSPONDER.
