signal) to the receiver.

the coaxial cable to the LNB of your dish, and, if it’s not already
connected into the “LNB In” port of the decoder.
- Now,
navigate to “menu” using your DStv remote (not TV remote).
- Navigate
to “general information”.

the drop-down of information bar, you will see “signal quality and
strength”.

How To Connect Dstv Decoder To Tv
After fixing the DStv satellite dish and a successful
installation of the new DStv decoder, the next step is to connect the DStv decoder
to the TV. Connecting your decoder will take few steps. Follow below simple steps
to connect your decoder to the TV.
Step 1. Provide all necessary materials. Av cables or
HDMI cables for connection of other devices like DVDs, game consoles, and other
peripherals to the DStv decoder
Step 2. Connect your decoder to the TV by the audio
and video AV cables to the TV and the Decoder at the other end. Recent decoders
support HDMI ports. DSTV’s Explora decoder comes with an HDMI port. Although
some decoders come with both an AV port and HDMI port. So, connecting HDMI
cables will be more simple as it only carries one single wire which has both
the audio and video.
Step 3. Turn on your decoder and TV. It should be
displaying by now.
If you want to add an extra TV to the DStv decoder, then get
a lengthy HDMI cable to do the connection. Also, you can use your DStv decoder
at another house by connecting using co-ax cable at the back of the decoder to
the tv, in the other room. no additional tool is needed, even
splitter will not be needed as you are using the Coaxial.
