Example of DirecTV Satellite Switching.

For a brief example of DirecTV satellite switching, read the following example.

You have powered on the Dish, and you have locked onto satellite 101°W and watch as the guide begins to download. Satellite 110°W is your chosen alternate satellite.

SELECT ENTER

After a few moments, the guide for satellites 101°W and 110°W are fully downloaded. You begin watching a standard definition program on satellite 101°W

After some time, you decide to switch to a High Definition program on satellite 110°W. You select the channel, and the dish seamlessly toggles to satellite 110°W.

After waiting for the 119°W guide to download, you decide to watch another High Defi- nition program on satellite 119°W. On the HD Satellite Interface, press [SELECT] to high- light 119. Press [ENTER] to confirm.

SELECT ENTER

Because you were on an alternate satellite already, the dish will immediately move to satel- lite 119 °W. Change to a channel on that satellite and watch your program.

Finally, you decide to watch a standard definition program on satellite 101°W. Select the channel, and the dish will seamlessly toggle to satellite 101°W.

If you power off the Satellite Interface at this point, satellite 119°W will be stored as your alternate satellite. The guide for satellite 101°W and 119°W will be downloaded immedi- ately next time you power on the system.

Note on Satellite Switching.

If you change to a channel and the DirecTV program banner shows the correct channel but an unexpected program is on, check to see that you have the Satellite Interface set to the correct alternate satellite.
