Frequently Asked Questions - HD Stick 510se MEGASAT

How do I connect the HD Stick 510se to my TV and satellite dish?

Connect the LNB from your satellite dish to the "LNB IN" port on the receiver. Use an HDMI cable (included) to connect the HDMI output to your TV. Alternatively, use the SCART connection. Plug in the power adapter.

What is DiSEqC and how do I set it up?

DiSEqC is a protocol for switching between multiple dishes or LNBs. In Antenna Settings, enable DiSEqC and select the appropriate port (1.0 or 1.1) for your switch. For motorized dishes, use DiSEqC 1.2 or USALS.
