My System: Pace 2200 Sky digibox with ftv card, Comag SL65 FTA sat receiver, 40cm Sky minidish, Setpal terrestrial receiver (for free uk tv only!).

Don't panic, we'll get you there, but need more info .....

The receiver will work with any lnb arrangement, single, monobloc, or several lnbs with diseqc switch. Which is yours?

When you get the receiver, it should normally have a default stored channels list (which won't be up to date). I can't quite remember, but on remote, I think the top right button will give you the already stored channels. The menu button will give most of the other options (I don't have the remote with me now).

You may have to set up the diseqc, depending on the lnb arrangement, but again that's just going through a few on screen menus.

Once you've got a signal, then it's menu, edit satellite, re-scan .... and it will find everything there!

Don't worry, you can't break it! Even if you accidentally delete all the currently stored channels - which requires entering the default access code - all you have to do is get a sat signal, then re-scan.

If this is new, then there's a lot to take in, but play around a bit!

(if you're not getting a tv picture, via the scart lead, obviously that's the 1st thing to sort out! However, a channel number should still show on receiver display, that will tell you it's working!).
