Transponder #

You may want to try different transponders to troubleshoot satellite signal reception problems. Each transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder shown when the screen first displays represents the one associated with the last viewed program. 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 normal unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for signal strength on a different transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change depending on the channel you want to view.
