Receiver ID

Someday, you may choose to get a second digital satellite receiver. If both receivers are in the same room or if you are using an RF remote control or a remote control extender, you may experience interference between signals. To avoid this “cross talk,” simply highlight the Receiver ID button and

press on the remote control to be used for that specific digital satellite receiver. Remember to set your remote control to the desired code first. For information regarding changing the remote control code, see the chapter “Programming Your Remote Control.”

Dish Type

The Dish Type button will initiate a pop-up menu where you can choose the style of satellite dish you are using. The following options are provided in that menu:

SINGLE – Refers to the traditional 18” satellite dish. This dish will be configured with an LNB with either one or two outputs.

DUAL – Refers to the larger, oval, multi-LNB satellite dish. This dish will be configured with two LNBs in the positions marked “SAT A” (101°) and “SAT B” (119 °). Each LNB will have one or two outputs.

TRIPLE - Refers to the larger, oval, multi-LNB satellite dish. This dish will be configured with three LNBs in the positions marked “SAT A” (101 °), “SAT B” (119°) and “SAT C” (110°). Each LNB will have one of two outputs.

Note: When “Satellite 1” is used in reference this is equivalent to “SAT A.” Likewise, “Satellite 2” equates to “SAT B” and “Satellite 3” equates to “SAT C.” Choosing the correct dish type is necessary to obtain correct pointing results.

Position

After selecting Position from the INSTALLATION screen a pop-up menu called Alignment Mode will appear. You can enter your location by either Align by ZIP or Align by LAT/LONG. After making your selection, the appropriate pop-up entry panel will appear. Use the and keys or use the numeric keypad to change the value of the digits. Press the key to advance or the key to back up. Once you have entered all of the correct digits, select OK. The calculated results on the proper direction to point your satellite dish antenna will be displayed.

Things to do in the INSTALLATION screen

Here, the quality of the satellite signal is automatically displayed. In addition to using this at installation time, you can use it to troubleshoot if you experience loss of signal, momentary video freezing, or similar problems.
