The Consat system comes with a 90cm dish, decoder, smart card (which is married to the decoder when activated), and dish accessories.

Installation of Consat is similar to any PayTV setup, only you need to be familiar with the parameters to get the best possible signal quality. For setup, you are strongly advised to use an MPEG4 decoder with satellite tracking abilities (Infinity, Strong would do).

The frequency is 11293 and symbol rate 45000 H. It is positioned at 16 oE. When tracking for signal, you need to achieve signal strength and quality over 80% to get stable feed. Once you achieve this with the Strong decoder, you can then replace it with the Consat decoder and start up the system.

For fresh installation, you should always do a software upgrade (be sure that the power supply is steady to avoid interruption and possible damage to the decoder). Please make sure that the software upgrade is carried out by a duly qualified so as to avoid damage to your decoder.

During installation, you should liaise with the dealer you bought the system from so it can be activated for you.

Hope this has being helpful.
