Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
The Installation option in the SETUP menu provides access to a variety of important
setup controls. The first of these is the Set Dish menu. The Set Dish menu allows
you to:
•Acquire the exact azimuth, elevation, and tilt angles to help you point your dish
accurately based on your ZIP code.
•Check the setup of your satellite dish using an on-screen signal meter.
•Set the dish type (to tell your DIRECTV®High-Definition Receiver what kind of
satellite dish you are using).
•Set your dish type automatically.
The sections that follow detail each of these procedures.
