Winegard MV-3500 manual DIRECTV programming

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—

The MV-3500 will toggle between the primary and seconday satellites for either DISH Network or DIRECTV but not between DISH Network and DIRECTV. Both have programming on more than one satellite. When a channel is selected with the remote control that is not on the satellite currently selected, the dish will automatically move to the correct satellite.

DIRECTV programming

1.DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2 sat selection to enable toggling between primary 101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite.

(Consult receiver manual for procedure.) After receiver is set for the correct dish selection, when you request a channel located on a different sat- ellite, the unit will automatically move to that satellite.

DISH Network programming (DISH 500) To set the receiver to “Switch Unknown”

1.Start by disconnecting the “satellite in” cable from back of your receiver.

2.With this cable disconnected, run a check switch to clear any “previous” information out of the sys- tem.

3.The check switch should read, “No switch de- tected” when it finishes.

4.Reconnect cable and start a new search with the dish.

If this is the first time the receiver has been used, you may need to download receiver software; best done on a home dish.

1.While vehicle is stationary, wait for unit to ac- quire satellite signal on satellite 119.

2.After signal is acquired, you have 6 minutes to complete Check Switch test. Consult receiver manual for instructions on running this test.

3.During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin checking your switch by toggling between satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will ap- pear on the screen. It will be at the top of the screen, satellite designations will be below, show- ing odd and even transponders. See illustration below.

NOTE: If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have an X in one the of the boxes below the satellites, repeat Check Switch steps.

4.Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct satellite when a channel is selected.

NOTE: Unless Check Switch was performed on another satellite dish, such as a home dish, you won’t need to perform this test again.
