One more question, in the video you say that the unit must be powered by the DC transformer or it won't work, but I've been told that the decoder can power it. Is this true, and would any decoder power it or only certain models?
This particular model does not get powered up by the decoders power so it has to be powered up by the power supply that comes with the unit. Other models are powered up by the decoder such as: d000187: www.spacetv.co.za/product/global-invacom-fibreirs-quad-gtu-mkiii-d000187/ D000188: www.spacetv.co.za/product/global-invacom-quattro-gtu-mkiii-d000188/
@@SpaceTelevisionSA I see contractors installed the D000199 model (same as yours). When the apartment was handed over to me after completion, no DC power supply was provided. Hopefully I can purchase a replacement - would you stock this part?
If and optical LNB (F925004) is installed on the satellite dish, the optic output from the LNB can be split up to 32 ways to provide signal to up to 32 GTU’s. Should you wish to connect the optical output from the optic LNB directly to the GTU a 10dB optic attenuator (F700290) should be inserted in the line to ensure the that the optic output from the LNB does not overdrive the optic input of the GT.
@@SpaceTelevisionSA Awesome, thanks for the answer! So, if the fibre is carrying a Dstv signal then it'd also be carrying an Openview signal, and as long as I have a decoder for each signal, everything will just work?

the signal comes from a satellite dish then connects directly to Optical in at GTU?

Quick question if I may, could I connect a Dstv decoder to the first port and an Openview decoder to the second port?
Yes you definitely can do that, both ports operate independently, one can be legacy, one can be SatCR or both can be legacy or both can be SatCR

@@warrenski in theory that is correct. We do advise if you are unsure you should consult the technician that installed the system
