Things to do on the INSTALLATION screen

The quality of the signal that your DIRECTV System is receiving is automatically displayed. In addition to using this at installation time, you may also want to check it when you are experiencing loss of signal, momentary video freezing, or similar problems.

Transponder #

You may choose to try different transponders. Each transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder displayed when entering the screen represents the one associated with the last viewed program (or “02” if no program has been viewed). By moving the highlight to the transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying signal strengths. This is not indicative of any problem unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for information such as signal strength on a different transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change to the one that corresponds with the satellite channels that you view.

Another signal strength utility that you may find useful is the Cable Test that can be found on the SYSTEM TEST screen.
