6 IMPORTANT TIPS FOR OPERATING THE RECEIVER
Thanks to the use of the on-screen menu (OSD), the operation of the receiver has
been simplified and the number of keys on the remote control has been reduced.
All functions are displayed on the screen and can be controlled by a small number
of keys. The common functions are combined into one MENU. The selected
function is marked with a color. Depending on the option selected, "Function keys"
are shown: red, yellow, green, blue in the form of graphics and description. The
colors represent the different functions in each menu. By pressing the key on the
remote control, the selected function will be triggered. The so-called function keys
are active only if there is information about them in the corresponding field. The
user interface allows you to navigate within menus and functions in several ways.
Direct access to the function is possible thanks to some buttons on the remote
control. The buttons are multifunctional, which means that their functions depend
on previously activated elements.

9.2 RUN
After the decoder connections to the rest of the equipment are properly made,
turn on the set-top box and the remaining hardware. If you first start or perform a
factory reset, a screen from the first installation menu will appear. Using the
navigation keys of the remote control, select the settings that are appropriate for
you.
Language – the OSD language is set here
Country – this setting allows you to specify scan parameters
appropriate for a given country in which the device is installed
TV system – choice between PAL, NTSC broadcasting systems
Resolution – choice of screen resolution
Video format – image format selection (4:3 Letter box, 4:3 Pan&Scan,
16:9)
Antenna power supply – allows you to choose between a powered or
passive antenna
Summer time – time setting
LCN – sorting by terrestrial TV provider numbering
FTA only – Allows you to filter paid channels. FTA – "free to air"
After selecting the settings, go to the "next" item and confirm with the "OK" key.
The signal from the antenna will be scanned.
NOTE! Selecting a resolution or TV system that is not supported by the TV may
result in a lack of video signal – the so-called "black screen".
NOTE! Selecting a country other than the one in which the device is installed may
result in the lack of reception of the full range of channels due to differences in
signal parameters!
9.3 CONNECTING A SATELLITE ANTENNA
In order to properly connect external equipment m.in satellite antenna and
converter, please use the installation instructions or the help of a professional
installer!
Precise antenna positioning is the basis for good reception. Even the best antenna
that is poorly adjusted will cause quality problems. Even minor setting errors can
prevent reception or greatly impair its quality. Before installation, make sure that

Ariva 175 Combo
11
the place is suitable for this. The correct direction can be pre-determined by
comparison with other antennas. Immediately in front of the antenna there must
be no obstacles blocking the signal! When we choose the optimal place for the
antenna, attach it and pre-position it, it still needs to be carefully adjusted. Each
antenna has adjustment screws that allow you to correct the position vertically and
horizontally.
9.4 CONNECTION OF ANTENNA INSTALLATION WITH TURNTABLE
The correct operation of the Ferguson receiver is guaranteed by Stab's USALS
turntables. To connect the antenna system with the USALS turntable, connect the
output from the turntable to the LNB IN input of the Ferguson receiver. The task of
the turntable installed between the mast and the antenna is to rotate the dish in
such a way that it directs to different satellite positions.
The USALS function greatly simplifies antenna alignment. The Ferguson receiver
requires you to enter the geographical coordinates of the antenna to automatically
calculate the engine rotation angle for individual satellites. The receiver itself starts
the turntable and rotates the antenna to the selected satellite. When a signal is
caught, the elevation and azimuth position of the antenna must be precisely
corrected for maximum signal. When correcting the azimuth, the whole set of
antenna with a turntable relative to the mast rotates. If originally the antenna was
not exactly set to the south, then now this can be corrected. Once we are done
with the first satellite, all the others will be found automatically, as long as we have
entered the correct values of their satellite positions in the receiver.
Without the USALS function, programming the system is much more difficult. Use
the DiSEqC 1.2 function, which rotates the antenna to the selected satellite in
almost the same way. However, since it does not take into account local
geographical coordinates, the rotation is based on the zero meridian and the
equator. It is therefore necessary to make amendments for each satellite
separately. Because of these difficulties, manufacturers of DiSEqC 1.2 turntables
often provide helpful software on their websites, thanks to which it is easy to
calculate the position of the satellite.
9.5 CONNECTION OF A DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TV ANTENNA
There are no special antennas for DVB-T. The same antennas are used for digital tv
reception as for analog TV reception. So there is no need to change the antenna
installation. However, it is worth checking the quality and condition of the
installation, which until now has been used to receive analog television. Problems
with reception may be in the case of old damaged antenna installations, or mesh
antennas. It is recommended to use directional antennas with an antenna amplifier,
depending on the specific situation, it may also be necessary to put on a
symmetrizer. Room antennas can only be used in places with high signal intensity.
The antenna should be directed to the nearest broadcasting facility broadcasting
DVB-T digital television. Maps of the range of individual transmitters in Poland are
available at: cyfryzacja.gov.pl

There are two options to choose from: fixed antenna (typical installation with one
converter) and antenna with turntable. In Combo model is also possible to change
the settings of the second head. It can work in terrestrial TV mode (default) or
digital cable TV.
11.2 LIST OF SATELLITES
In this menu you need to select the satellites that you want to use. Select the
satellite by pressing the up or down arrow. Select by pressing OK. A ∨symbol will
appear next to each selected satellite. The remaining menu options will only
operate on selected satellites.
In this menu, you can also edit, add and delete satellites if necessary.
11.3 ANTENNA SETTINGS
In this menu, detailed operating parameters of previously selected satellites are set,
depending on the antenna installation. Select the satellite by pressing the
down/up arrows. Only those satellites that are selected in the list of satellites
are available. Then select the type of converter (most often you should not change
this option and leave universal). Next, if you have a switch for more than one
satellite, set its port. Depending on the type of switch you have, these will be
options for DiSEqC 1.0 or DiSEqC 1.1 (do not run these two options at the same
time).
The correct positioning of the antenna is indicated by the bars of strength and
signal quality. Both should indicate above 80%, so that the reception of channels
does not contain interference. When checking the strength and quality settings,
use the "transponder" option to change the frequency and check whether each V
and H polarization is working properly.
11.4 SEARCH ONE SATELLITE
In this menu we can search for channels from one selected satellite. To do this,
select the satellite by pressing the left/right arrows. Only those satellites that are
selected in the list of satellites are available. Then choose whether you want to
search only free-to-air channels or all of them, and whether to search for radio, TV
or all channels.
There are three search modes:
Automatic – the so-called blind scan, consists in automatically
searching for available frequencies from the satellite and then
searching them one by one.
According to the TP list – the receiver searches only frequency by
frequency according to the list saved for the selected satellite. This list
can be edited in a separate menu.
FastScan – the receiver searches the channels of the selected provider.
You can add channels to an existing list or replace an existing list with

new channels. Please note that the search result and the operation of
this function depends solely on the provider.
11.5 SEARCH SEVERAL SATELLITES
In this menu we can search for channels from several satellites. Satellites will be
searched automatically one by one in the order in which they are marked in the list
of satellites. The options for settings and searchability are the same as for the
menu: search one satellite. At the bottom of the pane, the names of the satellites
that will be searched are displayed.
11.6 LIST OF TRANSPONDERS
The channels on the satellite are located several in "packages". Such a "package" of
channels is a transponder. The list of transponders is a list of frequencies available
on a given satellite. In this menu, you can edit, add, and delete individual
frequencies. Select the satellite by pressing the left/right arrows, and then using
the up/down buttons the desired frequency.
To search for a new channel, we need to know the basic parameter of the channel,
i.e. the frequency from which it is broadcast. This parameter can be found at the
sender, on the Internet, in the press, etc.
Then go to the list of transponders, select the satellite and the desired frequency (if
it is not in the list, use the function: add – green remote control button). Further on
the selected frequency, press OK or the blue remote control button to bring up the
search window for that frequency. Use the up/down buttons to change the search
options and confirm by selecting OK. The search will begin. Newly found channels
from this frequency will be added to the end of the channel list.
