Satellite settings („SAT settings")
Search satellite:

Select the satellite transmitting your preferred channel which is receivable at your
current location.

To receive English-language programmes in Europe, „Astra II" is recommended in
most cases.
Min. elevation:
Selection 8 – 30.
Here you can enter the minimum elevation that the antenna may be adjusted to
during the satellite search. This function is intended to prevent the collision of the
moving antenna with vehicle parts such as roof rails, pop-up overhead windows or
exhaust stacks.
The lower the elevation of the satellite in the sky, the lower the receiver head (LNB)
will move over the roof during the satellite search. If any vehicle parts are within
the pivoting space, collisions may occur which may result in a damage of your
SamYSolar+® or the respective vehicle part. Often, the satellite system needs to be
installed in restricted spaces. The minimum elevation setting will then prevent the
LNB from moving into positions below the set value. The higher the number, the
higher the lower limit of the LNB will be. If you change this value, the LNB will im-
mediately move into the corresponding position, allowing you to verify the setting.
Throughout the entire reception range of the SamYSolar+®, the elevation angle of
Astra 1 will not drop below approx. 14°. However, this value may be lower for other
satellites.
Caution: If your set value is too high, your preferred satellite may not be received,
especially in the northern regions of Europe.
