(1)I had just received my product, I don’t know how to set up everything!
There are a few ways of setting up this product: from multiple satellite
sources to your computer, from one satellite source to your computer.
i. You may have more than 1 satellite dish at home, therefore, you would
have to connect the receiver coaxial cable from your satellite dishes to a
DiSEqC, then you have two choices:
A. Connect the output from DiSEqC to your Setup Box, and then you
may connect its output to the DVB-S TV tuner card.
B. Connect the output from DiSEqC directly to your DVB-S TV tuner
card.

From the satellite dish, either connect the coaxial cable to your Setup Box,
then to the DVB-S TV tuner card, or directly to the DVB-S TV tuner card.
