(Note this should be the L band frequency in the following form - 012550MHz.
Frequency - type directly in to the top right green box. Low SR - if you are trying to receive a signal greater than 1Msymbol or 1000ksymbol untick the low SR box. For ATV operation make sure the DVB-S box is ticked and not auto.
Currently all DATV signals are currently DVB-S and most domestic satellite signals are DVB-S2.
FEC - tick the box to match the FEC of the transmission you are wanting to rx. (Note this should be the SR in kilosymbols in the following form - 00250 for 250kS, 02000 for 2Ms,or 27000 for 27Ms. Symbol rate (SR) - type the symbol rate directly in to the top left green box. Navigate your mouse to the top left corner of the screen and set the following parameters to match your test signal: If you see the more complex expert mode below - simply click the top of the "expert" switch in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. If you get the USB error message then you hardware is not connected. Start the program and you should see the please wait message. The FEC rate - this will be written in the form 1/2 or 5/6. The Symbol Rate or SR - this will probably be listed as MegaSymbols - eg 2Ms or 27Ms - you will need to convert this to kS - eg 2000 or 27000. Signal frequency - you will need to know L band signal frequency coming out of the LNB or direct amatuer band frequency - eg 1255MHz or 1563 MHz. Whichever source you use, you will need to know the following: An off air DATV signal from your local repeater or "buddy down the road" (did I really write that!) - make sure you have a filter and line amplifier between your pre-amp and tuner input but be careful - there maybe DC volts on the input socket and most filters are DC short circuit. A local DATV signal from Portsdown (Ugly mode is fine) or any other DATV transmitter - a short piece of wire in the tuner input socket will probably pick up enough signal but be careful - there maybe DC volts on the socket. A satellite signal from your domestic satellite dish. If you have completed the installation and tested your system by running the test programs, you now need to arrange a test signal which can be one of the following: MINITUNE TI SOFTWARE
The Minitioune software is very comprehensive DVB-S receive and diagnostic software but can be a little overwhelming when you first run it!

Running the test softwareĬonnect up your MiniTiouner to the PC USB port and apply volts - then run the test programs found in the directory where you extracted MiniTiouner to.Īll test should pass - if it fails the USRC filter test try running the install_usrc_ax_winXP.exe file in the directory and run the test again.
The recommended cable is a Lindy Cromo Lindy cable USB 2.0 type A/mini-B 1m long. It is absolutely essential you use a high quality USB cable or the program will frequently freeze and crash with no warning The MiniTiouner hardware is connected to the PC via USB2 mini cable.
