1. DTH NILESAT INSTALLATION
First, position your dish, using whether a standard Universal LNB or the Legacy
output of a SATCR LNB. Then, plug the fixed lead on the 12V power supply into
the socket labelled DC 12V IN in the receiver. Tehn, plug the 2-way connector on
the supplied mains lead into the socket on the 12V power supply unit. And then,
connect the mains plug from the 12V power supply into a main wall socket.

Universal LNB
The use of a twin a LNB is required to connect the OSN HD PVR two tuners. The
leads are to be connected directly from the twin universal LNB to each one of the
tuner connectors labelled SAT IN1 and SAT IN2 on the OSN HD PVR.
Case of dual boxes installation HD PVR + HD Zapper
A use of a Quattro LNB is advised in this case and a third cable should be run
from the LNB to the second STB (HD Zapper). In case of multi-dishes installation
(see correspondent section below) the cable should be run form the third output
of the DiSEqC switch to the tuner input of the second STB (HD Zapper).
SATCR LNB
In case of SATCR LNB the use of all power pass
splitter is required.
The lead is to be connected directly from the SATCR
LNB to the input of the all power pass splitter. The
outputs of the splitter should be connected to each
of the tuner connectors labelled SAT IN1 and SAT
IN2 on the OSN HD PVR.
Make sure that the below 4
user bands are available for
each tuner input:
1210 MHz
1420 MHz
1680 MHz
2040 MHz
And select two different user
bands for each tuner and
save the settings.
Case of dual boxes installation HD PVR + HD Zapper
A use of a minimum three outputs of all power pass splitter is required. The lead
is to be connected directly from the SATCR LNB to the input of the all power
pass splitter. Two of the outputs of the splitter should be connected to each of
the tuner connectors of the OSN HD PVR. While the third output should be
connected to the input of the HD Zapper.
Given that you already installed the HD PVR as per the previous picture settings.
For the HD Zapper select a new user band than the one selected for the HD
PVR.
Notes:
1. DVB-S2: Due t o the Phase Noise issues wit h legacy old LNBs, use
of High gain Low Noise LNBs in edge of f ootprint is recommended.
2. Connect the STB to an HD TV using an HDMI cable. For a normal SD TV
use an RCA/cinch cable to connect the TV and the STB in CVBS mode or
Component mode.
3. For improved sound you can connect your receiver to a home cinema or
Hi-Fi system using the receiver's DIGITAL AUDIO connectors. For this you
will need a 75 ohm coaxial cable or a digital audio is compatible with Dolby
Digital Plus.

2. DTH MULTISATELLITE INSTALLATION

2.1 DiSEqC Requirements
This section will guide you through, how to setup the OSN HD PVR for
multi-network configuration using DiSEqC switches.
Let's take an example of an installation having 3 Networks: Nilesat,
Hotbird and Arabsat, correspondingly configured on DiSEqC 1, DiSEqC
2, and DiSEqC 3. The output of the DiSEqC switch should be
connected to the tuner connector labeled SAT IN of the OSN HD
Zapper.
2.2 LNB and DiSEqC setup
After the appropriate Outdoor Unit (ODU) installation has been done,
the OSN HD PVR should be configured for all the three networks. This
consists of matching the setup of the LNBs with the correspondent
DiSEqC ports. By default settings is matching the above given
installation example as per the illustration below.
LNB 1 DiSEqC A is set for Nilesat LNB 2 DiSEqC C is set for Arabsat
LNB 3 DiSEqC B is set for Hotbird
Select a valid entry point (Transponder having
valid SI)
Signal level check
Once the tuning parameters are correctly
configured, the tuner is locked and the signal
level is sufficient, press OK on the remote
control.

displaying a 1/4 video screen of the first service
in the bouquet.
Congratulations!! Installation succeeded.
Select "Channel List" to view and browse the
list of services.
Notes:
The OSN HD services are broadcasted on the Frequencies
10834 and 11278 V with Baud rate of 27500 KSymbol/sec and
FEC 2/3. Therefore having Low band Vertical frequencies is
required to receive OSN HD services.
The OSN HD IRD is not intended to be installed in Frequency
Shifted IF buildings. This will be made available for next phase of
software development.
By default, the OSN HD IRDs are installed with the default service
list that can not be edited. Therefore we can use the Free-to-Air
scan functionality to add other third part services from Satellites
other than Nilesat.
Only provided OSN smartcard can be used with the OSN HD IRD
in the embedded smartcard slot.
CI-CAM slot is available only for Zapper and not for PVR.
Therefore no third part smartcard can be used on the PVR.
The installer should perform a site test at each location to determine
that all the services provided are listed at the levels required for
distribution (see below). Any service not found as a result of the site
test must be reported immediately to OSN Platform Technology so that
an agreement may be made as to which services will be provided to the
customer.
3. INSTALLATION IN AN MDU / BUILDING

The installation shall supply at least four cable Integrated Reception
System, comprising four cables providing individual IF Polarities,
through switching devices to a minimum of one position or at least with
two cables (with both polarities and bands) in each dwelling within the
buildings.
3.3 Signal levels required in IF or cascaded
installations
All signal levels must comply with the maximum provided for by the
amplifiers installed or to be installed taking into account adequate
rating for the number of channels distributed and amplifiers in cascade
The maximum/minimum levels at each outlet position on the system are
as follows:

MAXIMUM
LEVEL
MINIMUM
LEVEL
Satellite
IF
Digital
77 dBV 52 dBV
The Sat ellite Digital frequencies require a minimum Carrier t o
Noise rat io at the outlets of 9 dB.
Measurement of Carrier to Noise rat io should be made against a
" noise f loor" and not between t ransponders. The recommended
frequencies to set the noise floor are 1,970 MHz. in the low
band and 1,070 MHz. in the high band. Should a transponder
signal be present at these frequencies t han the " noise floor"
frequency should be adjusted to avoid conf lict.
Dishes should be aligned for maximum signal strength and carrier to
noise ratios. The LNB should be aligned so that the horizontal and
vertical transponders appear equal and give maximum rejection of the
opposite polarity, this is to avoid cross polarisation problems.
3.4 Amplifiers and Attenuators requirements
In case the signal is below 52 dBV, use an amplifier but the
amplified signal should not exceed 77 dBV.
In case t he signal is above 77 dBV, then use an at tenuator or a
splitt er t o reduce the signal level.
All amplifiers and distribution equipment shall be by an OSN certified
supplier, See appendix B for details.
All Equipment must be able to cope with the minimum and maximum
signal levels.
3.5 Multiswitch DC supply requirements
If t he multiswit ches are line powered f rom the HD IRD only, and
no other power supply is used, care must be taken to ensure
that the maximum current drawn, including the LNB, is less than
315 mA.
In case of using a Multi-switch, it should not have an insertion loss more
than 4-6dB.
In case of cascaded swit ch syst em, make sure that there is no return
DC voltage from the switch to the HD IRD tuner.
3.6 Cables requirements
All cables shall be manufactured to the relevant parts of Specification
EN 50117.
All co-axial cables shall be sourced from a OSN certified supplier, see
appendix B for details.
RG-6 low loss coaxial cable should be used (Typical Loss 4-6
dB/100 m).
All coaxial cable shall have a nominal characteristic of 75 ohms and will
be suitable for the application concerned.
Within the head-end and network, the connection of the coaxial cable
will be via F-type and IEC connectors only. All F-connectors must be
crimped and IEC connectors should be of a professional design and
correctly made off. All connectors should be the correct size for the
cable used.
Avoid using cable jointers or passive splitt ers to join cables. It
is recommended to use a single cable as much as possible
without any joints / splits.
In case of unavoidable situations where you need to use
joint ers it is advisable t o use Line Amplifiers instead.
All accessories must conform to the requirements of CENELEC EN
50083.
All passive accessories will be 75 ohms. All satellite IF frequencies will
be connected using F-type connectors.
External equipment will be housed in suitable waterproof enclosures.
3.7 Test and Commissioning of the Installation
The installer has to supply a test and commissioning report, indicating
signals at the inputs and output of the main equipment and levels
received at the outlets. The installer will have to demonstrate to OSN
that the picture quality on all the services stated is good.
Test equipment must be accurate to within +/- 3dB and suitable for all
the services indicated. The minimum requirement is a spectrum
Analyser, a simple signal strength indicator is not sufficient.
