How to install GOtv Decoder

  3. Connect the power supply unit to the decoder before inserting the other end into the plug point. Then switch on at the wall (GOTV recommends the use of a power surge protector).
  4. Switch the TV on and press the AV button on the TV remote control to go to the appropriate AV channel.
  5. After 20 seconds, the GOTV logo will appear, followed by the set-up screen a few seconds later.

Note: If the GOtv decoder does not complete scanning, it will automatically take you to the signal detection screen. At this point, you may need to point the GOtv Antenna in the direction of the GOtv transmitter – and move the GOtv antenna until the signal is most reliable. This is the point where you should permanently fix your GOtv Antenna.

Find a clear site that has no obstructions between the GOtv Antenna and the signal transmitter. Point the GOtv Antenna towards the transmitter. Slowly move your GOtv Antenna to the left or the right until the strongest signal is found. You will be able to see this on the signal lever bar displayed on your TV. Then fix your GOtv Antenna in its position
