| How to install the Hyundai HSS-800CI |
The HSS-800CI comes pre-stored with at least 26 satellite locations and over 1000 Satellite Channels
If you intend to use the receiver as a fixed receiver and you already have a dish pointing at any of the Pre-installed satellites then connect it up and begin watching straight away (you don’t even need to enter the install menu) it’s that easy.
If you need to fix and align a dish the pre-installed stations will make it 10 times easier to find a satellite than most other digital receivers on the market, since most have no pre-installed stations – You may want to use a digital satellite finding meter available on this site for 14.99 GBP or less (current offer is to get one for only 1p!) All geo-stationary TV satellites are located 22,000 Miles above the equator so in the UK they are in the southern Sky at an elevation of between about 15-33°. Some of you know that a satellite like Hotbird is at 13° East but if your location is 2.5° West and you are several Thousand miles south of the north pole you begin to see why it’s not as easy as getting a compass out to find this or any other satellite – nevertheless with a bit of thought calculating where approximately where it should be is not as difficult as all that – although we do recommend a satellite meter even a basic one – also remember that most dishes are offset so it’s the boom arm that more or less is pointing at the satellite not the dish itself which may appear to be almost upright and in some cases tilting forward.
| How to install the Hyundai HSS-800CI with a STAB/HDT HH100 or HH120 Mount |
To successfully install the equipment follow these instructions (this assumes you are in the Northern Hemisphere of the planet but if you are not then North becomes South and South becomes North)
| Background |
Hopefully you already know where your dish will be mounted – but it should go somewhere that has line of site of as many satellites as possible on the Clark Belt (that’s the Hoop of space 22,000 Miles above the equator where Geo-stationary TV satellites are) Geo-stationary means that the Satellites appear to be stationary though in reality like the earth itself they are moving. The trick of course is that they move around the planet at the same rate as the planet turns and in the same direction thus though they are moving they appear stationary
Dependent on how far north you are of the equator - you’ll be able to see less of the Clark belt the further you go north. (The Mount below like all good motorized mounts does two things the Polar elevation is so called because when set correctly it adjusts the turning of the dish so that the dishes pivot point is parallel to a line drawn from the north to the south pole – if you where on the equator that would be the only adjustment needed however because you are probably several thousand miles north of the equator the dish has to be tilted down (declination angle) so that it actually points at the satellites rather than a hoop of space several thousand miles north of that hoop
[Latitude = 90 – Polar elevation
Thus Polar elevation = 90 – Latitude
And Latitude + Polar elevation = 90]
| Fitting the Mount |
Make sure that your pole is precisely upright – the success of the system is wholly dependent on your pole being perfectly upright – you have probably been supplied a T + K and Pole and these are designed to make this very easy. Fit the Mount and set the Polar elevation correct for your location. Now set the declination on the dish for your area the Stab mount
| Installing the Receiver |
Connect the Cable CT100 or equivalent between the receiver and the Mount and between the mount and the LNB – now connect the receiver to the TV and start the receiver enter the Menu select antenna set up
Select STAB option now put in the correct Longitude and Latitude for your location
Now select a satellite you wish to store (you can start with a strong satellite like Intelsat/Thor 0.9° West - now highlight your longitude or latitude setting and press enter – the dish will move to where Intelsat/Thor MUST be for the longitude and latitude of the satellite you just selected now press exit and select a Intelsat/Thor clear station (Kiosk1 or BBC World) turn the Mount around the pole until the station appears if the polar elevation and declination are correct then you will soon see the satellite if not it’s most likely the Declination that’s wrong because the STAB mount is clearly marked either with the polar elevation or the latitude) - if you go back to the antenna set-up you will see a signal strength and quality meter (very useful for fine tuning)
Now select another satellite (16 East) highlight the latitude and press enter – the dish will move to 16 east now fine adjust and that’s it every satellite will now be where it should be – try Turksat 42 east or if you have a good sized dish and line of site try Pas3 (43 west)
| FLASH.exe & How to update the operating software of an HSS-800CI |

Put the contents of the zip file into one directory
"Hyundai" to make it easy to find put this directory directly on the C: drive
Click my computer Icon on your desktop
Click c drive
In windows click right mouse button over the open C: folder
Go down to "new>"
Go to folder option
Now rename the folder "Hyundai"
Connect the Hyundai to the mains
Switch on the Hyundai
Now put the unit in standby "00.00" in the display
Now unplug the Hyundai
Now connect a Null modem cable between com1 on the PC and the serial
Port on the Hyundai
Now on your PC click start
Go to programs
Go to MSDOS prompt
(A box should open)
Go to where you put your directory
DOS commands that you will need to know
cd.. [ENTER] (Takes you back) to C:\>
If it doesn't retype "cd.." until you are there
Now type "cd Hyundai" (this takes you into the directory you just created)
C:\hyundai>
Now type
Flash.exe xxxxx.bin com1 [current operating software] (Where xxxxx = the file name)
You should now see a message that says, "trying to connect...."
Now plug the Hyundai back into the mains
The download should now commence
Wait until all activity ceases (on the PC and the receiver - usually no more Than 5 Minutes)
When finished the receiver will show "SUCC"
Unplug it - it's now ready to use
| SatEditor.exe & How to Change settings in the HSS-800CI |
SatEditorVer1_0_5.zip is available here together
with everything needed to make it work
This is a new version of the SatEditor.exe (01-03-01). old
sateditor software including helpfile is here
Like Flash.exe the program is a little experimental at the moment but it works and enables users of the Hyundai HSS-800CI to download program settings change them and try settings of others
The program has it’s own help file but at the moment the English is not perfect HDT are working on this.
IF IN DOUBT DON’T USE IT – we are ready to help you before you attempt to use any software – if you have to return your receiver as a result of using this software it will cost you carriage – before you attempt anything get an understanding of the instructions they are there to help you.
| How to Download Settings from one Receiver to Another |
1) Power both receivers off & connect a Null modem cable between them
2) Switch both receivers back on and put them in standby [00:00] should
appear
3) Power off both receivers
4) Plug in the receiver that is to transmit the download to the other machine
5) Press [select] and [<] keys together to download new settings to the
receiver
6) [--:--] will appear in the window of the receiver
7) Plug in the receiver to receive the download - download should commence
immediately
8) When the sending receiver has finished it will read [SUCC] briefly whilst
the receiving receiver will read [SUCC] and this will stay in the window until
you unplug it and replug it in
Note:- it is not possible to change the factory settings using this method
