Using On-Screen Menus

Satellite

The Satellite screen gives you access to information and settings for your satellite system's antenna.

Test Signal Strength

This feature allows you to determine the strength of all available signals, one at a time. There is a separate test for each satellite from which your antenna receives information.

If you'd like more information about the signal test, use the arrow buttons to highlight More Info, then press SELECT.

Note: After you finish installing the dish antenna and exit the Dish Pointing menu screens, the message “Searching for Satellite Signal” might appear for a few seconds, followed by the Satellite Data Acquisition screen. This is normal. Go to page 12, in the “Wait for the Receiver to Download ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ Data” section, for details.

Repeat Satellite Dish Setup

The Repeat Satellite Setup item takes you through the steps to configure your satellite antenna. Don't select Repeat Satellite Dish Setup unless you've been told to by a professional installer or service representative, or unless you're performing your own installation.

Enter Lat. & Long.

The Enter Lat. & Long. item lets you find dish-pointing coordinates from latitude and longitude entries. Latitudes between 20 and 55 can be entered, and longitudes between 65 and 125 can be entered. The Enter Lat. & Long. screen is part of the Satellite Setup procedure.

Notes:

The Enter Lat. & Long. screen does not actually change anything about your satellite dish setup. You can use it as a reference to see what dish pointing coordinates correspond to a given latitude and longitude.

In general, it is easier to find dish pointing coordinates using your ZIP code in the Satellite Setup screen. Use the Enter Lat. & Long. screen if you don't have access to ZIP code information, such as when you're setting up your satellite system on a boat or in an RV.

Reset Satellite Info

Reset Satellite Info overrides all of your current system settings and starts the setup procedure again.

Important: Don't select Reset Satellite Info unless you've been told to by a professional installer or customer service representative.
