How it connects
Read Tools > Information and record maincode (software version); userdb contains existing settings and channel lists. Preserve them rather than factory-resetting to test a fault. LNB IN is the satellite input; ANT IN is the terrestrial input on Combo models. A loop output does not create an independent tuner. Match the manual’s connector table to the exact label, especially 202E versus 203 and the mini versions. For USB recording, note whether the existing drive is recognized and any recording/playback is active. Where two USB ports are fitted, this edition allows only one at a time. Never unplug active storage or format it as a first check. Match the model, product code and manual edition on this page. Photograph existing connections without changing them. First separate TV input and standby problems from missing satellite reception. Preserve the channel list and antenna settings; do not factory-reset, flash software, rescan or rewire as a first check.
