Setting Up Your DIRECTV® Sat-Go

This section describes how to set up the DIRECTV Sat-Go TV and antenna. Select the most appropriate procedure depending on your requirements.

Finding a Suitable Antenna Site

When selecting a site to obtain a satellite signal, choose a location with an unobstructed view of the southern sky--no trees, leaves, or buildings can be in the line of sight between the antenna and the satellite. A suitable site requires the antenna have an unobstructed view of the southern sky and a flat, stable surface.

The satellite is always located south of Texas. This means if you live in Miami, you must have a clear line of sight to the southwest; if you live in San Francisco, you must have a clear line to the southeast.

Depending on where you live, the antenna should be at an elevation angle between 30 and 60 degrees. Southern states point more toward 60 degrees; northern states point more toward 30 degrees.

TIP: The antenna case has an integrated compass to help you obtain the correct direction and angle based on your location.
