Installing the Digital Receiver PCI Card
The digital receiver card fits into an unused PCI slot in your PC. As each PC is different, consult
your PC manufacture’s instructions.
1) Turn the PC off.
2) Open the side panel of your computer to expose the PCI slot.
3) Choose an available PCI slot. If the slot is covered by a protector, remove the slot
protector. Lay the protector on the ground to one side.
4) Insert the PCI digital receiver card firmly into the PCI slot.
5) Tighten the installation screw on the PCI card.
6) Replace the side panel of your computer.
Installing the Driver
Windows 98
When you start your PC and install the Installation CD for the first time after installing the PCI
receiver card, Windows 98 displays a dialog that says it has detected a ‘PCI Network controller.’
This is how the operating system identifies the PCI digital receiver.
1) Click Next and follow all remaining prompts, accepting defaults, until the dialog asks for
the location of the drivers.
2) Select CD Rom drive, if it is not selected already. Click Next.
3) Check that your computer’s CD-Rom drive is selected in the next dialog.
4) Click OK and follow all remaining prompts to complete the installation.
5) Reboot when prompted.
You have installed the PCI receiver card drivers and are now ready to install the software
applications.

follow all prompts. (Do not reboot at this time)
When the installation is complete, copy EPG.MDB file from the CD-Rom and paste it to

Locating the Satellite
Included on you Nebulink CD-Rom is a software package for setting up your dish
to locate the satellite which our service is running.

2) Click “File”Æ”New”Æ”New Look Angles” (On the menu bar)
3) Click “Zip”, Type in your Zip Code for the location where the satellite will be. Click
“OK”
4) Click “Sat”, Scroll until you find “SatMex 5”, Click to highlight “SatMex5”, and Click
“OK”
5) You will see at the top of the window the Site Name and Satellite Name If this is correct
Click “OK”. If the information is incorrect please contact tech support. You can find the
contact information on the next page.

dish, azimuth compass bearing for pointing your dish, and the polarization offset for
setting your LNBF.

Getting a Satellite Lock
Now that you have your receiver card setup and you dish pointed in the correct location we now
need to work on getting the signal locked in. To do this we will be using the receiver card and
the dish.
1) Verify you have your cable connected from the LNBF of the dish to the receiver card.
2) On the computer double click the satellite icon in the system tray. (lower right hand
corner of the screen)
3) Click the “Status” button. To the right of the window you will see the “Transponder
Information”.
4) “Signal Strength” this is what you will use to get the signal locked in. You will need a
minimum of 40% I would recommend tweaking the dish to it maximum % rate. The
higher the % the less likely it will be to lose signal during adverse weather conditions.
5) At 40% the bar will turn to green and the satellite will be locked in. The signal will only
lock in if you are on the correct satellite. After you have it locked in click “Close” and
click “Close” again. Now contact technical support to activate your username and
password. You will find the contact information on the next page.
