The following satellites are
already saved on the Satfinder
in the 8 different positions.
(Pro “SAT” position = 4 different
transponders)

The “DUR-line Finder” app is not required to use the Satfinder. The scope of
features is however expanded.
for iOS 9.0
for Android 4.3

DO NOT link the Satfinder via Bluetooth! Only open the app!
Start the app:
1. After downloading the app,
select the “DUR-line Finder”
icon.
2. Click “Scan” to search using
the Satfinder.
3. Click on the detected
Satfinder listed.
Note for Android users:
Permissions for location (GPS) must
be activated, otherwise Android
does not allow Bluetooth
connection.
On your smartphone, open the App Store.
Enter “DUR-line Finder” as a search term or scan the QR code:
The “DUR-line Finder” app should then appear and can be
installed for free.
App “Find” tab
Modifications are required here if
searching for a very specific satel-
lite/transponder! (Further expertise
required!)
A satellite, the LNB oscillator
frequency and a transponder can
be selected
from the extensive drop-down
menu (click on the down arrow).
You can manually enter data or add
to the list using “Edit” or “Add”.
App “Find” => “More” tab:
C/N: Level spacing from desired
signal and background noises –
Higher is better
LEVEL: Level in dBµV – Higher is
better
MER: Modulation error rate –
Higher is better
BER: Bit error rate - lower is better
App “TP Settings” tab:
The stored transponders
are displayed here.
These can be overwritten and saved
on the Satfinder with “Confirm”.
Four transponders (TP1 to TP4)
can be assigned
to each satellite.

1 Preparing the satellite dish
1

Step 1: Determine the angle of the
satellites
It is necessary to know the approximate
posion on the horizon in order to quickly
align the antenna to the correct satellites.
For this purpose, either use
the easy online calculator at
www.durline.de/tools/satcalc.html
or scan the following QR code.
Or:
Step 2: Roughly posioning the
satellite dish
You now need to align the antenna towards the
direcon in the sky where the satellite is
expected.
Elevaon angle: Using the antenna
scale (back part)
Azimuth angle: align by compass
(E.g. smartphone/Sainder)
The dishes on neighbouring roofs
should serve as a guide.
2 Start using the satellite nder
2.1 Connect the Sainder to the LNB
Use the coaxial cable that was included with the
product – Connect “LNB” to the LNB output
2.2 Connect the receiver/power supply (receiver is o)
Connect the (Receiver-) supply cable to the le connecter
2.3 Switch on the receiver/power supply
The receiver now takes over the Sainder power supply – Sainder starts, several LEDs
illuminate and Bluetooth is acvated.
2.4 Selecng desired satellites on the Sainder (if necessary, press “SAT” buon)
8 satellites are pre-programmed. By pressing the “SAT” key, the next “SAT” posion is selected (LED1-8).
On the reverse side of the Sainder there is a mapping of SAT posions and satellite names. Astra 19.2°
is acvated on start-up.
Depending on the LNB type and its amplicaon oset, it may be the case that up to 4 STRENGTH LEDs
are already illuminated even though a satellite has not been located.
3 Adjust the satellite dish more precisely
3.1 CAREFULLY turn the satellite dish le and right –
take into account the LED display and buzzer volume
Turn SLOWLY
When the antenna is roughly aligned, and a satellite is received, the STRENGTH LEDs will illuminate.
The more illuminated LEDs, the stronger the signal is.
When the QUALITY LEDs also illuminate, the correct satellite is received. When only the STRENGTH LEDs
illuminate, the incorrect satellite has been located.
3.2 Carefully turn AND lt the antenna unl you have moved it into the opmum posion
If STRENGTH cannot be further enhanced and all QUALITY LEDs are illuminated, the antenna is
opmally aligned.
Depending on the antenna size it is possible that not all STRENGTH LEDs illuminate. This is normal, as
for very large antennae reserves must be available.
On the contrary, all the QUALITY LEDs should illuminate when the antenna is opmally aligned!
3.3 LNB Skew opmisaon
It is oen possible to slightly increase the signal strength/quality
by turning its retaining clamp in small increments.
For remote satellites far from the southern point, use the angle calculator!
Skew opmisaon is not required for Astra 19.2°!
4 Check the TV picture and also remove the Sainder
The Satfinder does not feed the signal through to the TV! That is to say no TV picture with an
interconnected Satfinder!
4.1 Disconnecting the receiver/power supply and removing Satfinder
Initially, disconnect the power supply from the mains in order to avoid short circuits, then remove the
Satfinder from the signal path.
4.2 Check the picture of a number of channels on your TV (if necessary, start a channel search)
4.3 Fasten the satellite dish clockwise
Finally, connect the supply cable to the LNB - job done.

i
Rules of thumb:
1. Satellites that can be received in Europe are found in the South. The southern point corresponds to
180° (E.g. use mobile compass).
Turn in a easterly direcon (to the le) or a westerly direcon (to the right) from this point. Astra 19.2° E
is located a few degrees to the east, so you therefore need to turn to the le (see Graphic 1).
2. It is also necessary to ensure that the antenna is adjusted to align with the correct elevaon angle.
Please ensure that no obstacles mask the view of the satellite. A clear view is absolutely essenal
(see Graphic 2).
