About Signal strength (AGC)
and Signal quality (SNR)
The different signal indicators at the top of the menu provide in-
formation about two things:
AGC: The AGC, shown with a red bar, will indicate the average
strength of any incoming signal, digital as well as analogue.
SNR: The SNR, shown with a red, yellow and green bar, will
indicate the signal quality for the preprogrammed
channel chosen.
Select one of the alternatives ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS or THOR
when you have a single LNB pointed towards any of these satel-
lites.
Pressing OK from the selected alternative will display the “An-
tenna adjustment” menu (shown to the right) on the screen.
For each satellite, (e.g. ASTRA, HOTBIRD, SIRIUS, THOR), up to
4 different channels are preprogrammed and shown in the menu.
When you adjust the antenna, your Mediamaster will use the
marked channel to find signals from a satellite. (You can select
channel with the
buttons.)
Antenna adjustment and signal check
• Adjust the antenna towards the desired satellite until you have
a high value on the Signal strength (AGC) *
)
indicator (the red
bar at the top of the menu) and on the Signal quality (SNR) in-
dicator (the red, yellow and green bar at the top of the menu).
If you do not get a picture, you may be tuned to an analogue sig-
nal source. Another reason could also be that the antenna is po-
sitioned towards the wrong satellite.
The reason could also be that the marked channel is not trans-
mitting at the moment. If so, select one of the other prepro-
grammed channels with the
buttons.
When you have picture from a TV channel, press OK. The Media-
master automatically starts searching for and downloads chan-
nels from the satellite. Please refer to page 21.
(If you have a good indication of the signal quality, but no picture
from any of the channel alternatives, try proceeding with the
channel search anyway by pressing OK).
