Step 7:

 Using your compass, point the LNB in the direction 

corresponding to the SAT B azimuth setting (see Figure J). 
Draw a vertical mark overlapping the Clamp Mount Assembly and 
the mast. This mark will provide you with the approximate satellite 
location reference point when you are ready to tune to the satellite.

Step 8:

 Loosen the Skew Adjustment Bolts on either side of the Clamp 

Mount Assembly. Adjust the Skew Alignment Mark with the scale 
indicator to the SAT B skew setting you recorded earlier. Finally, lock 
it in place by securely tightening the Skew Adjustment Bolts.

important: do not make any further adjustments to the Skew Setting from this 
point onward.

Step 9:

 After making the permanent skew adjustment, install the (2) 

Hex Head Hi/Lo Screws in the dish boss holes (see Figure C). Four 
boss holes are available but you’ll only need to use two (the other 
two may be obstructed depending on the skew setting). Do not over 
tighten Hi/Lo Screws.

6. connectinG receiver and diSh

You are now at the point in the installation where one of the output 
ports of the QUAD LNB needs to be connected to the Shaw Direct 
satellite receiver. Connect the receiver to a TV to see a relative 
scaled signal level meter that will assist you in obtaining maximum 
signal strength. If you are unsure of how to connect the TV to the 
receiver, refer to the User Guide that came with your receiver.

 

Step 1:

 Connect the RG-6 coaxial cable provided with the install kit 

to one of the ports of the QUAD LNB. Connect the other end of the 
coaxial cable to the satellite receiver input connector. To make the 
dish alignment easier, we suggest you temporarily locate the receiver 
and TV at an electrical outlet close to where the dish is installed. 
Unless you can view the signal level on the TV screen from where 
the dish is being aligned, you will require an assistant to monitor the 
signal level reading on the TV as you align the dish.

Step 2:

 When the receiver is first powered up, it should be tuned to 

channel 299. If you are using a legacy receiver and cannot tune to 
channel 299, go to channel 284 instead.

FiGUre j

If you are working with an 
non-activated legacy receiver, 
you should see the following 
displayed on the TV when 
you first turn the receiver on. 
Using the remote, tune receiver 
to channel 284 to align the 
dish. If the receiver has been 
activated before, tune to channel  
299 (not 284).

For new or non-activated 
Advanced receivers, you 
should see the following 
displayed on your TV when you 
first turn the receiver on. Tune 
to channel 299 if the receiver 
is not already there.

Step 3:

 Access the Installation Settings menu. To access this menu 

on legacy model receivers:

1.  Using the remote, press options
2. press 6: System Setup
3. press 3: installation settings
4.  press 1: tune in Satellite Signal

Position the yellow cursor 
on the Provider ID (using 
navigator keys on the remote 
control) and enter 4128  
on the keypad.
