After Guided Setup: Getting a Satellite Signal
If the antenna is already aligned to the satellite, the TV automatically comes on when you press
(POWER). If the antenna is not aligned to the satellite, a message displays on the screen,
“Searching for Satellite.” You can easily realign the antenna using the Signal Strength Meter. If
you need additional support, you can use antenna coordinates to help you point your antenna
towards the satellites.
TIP:
If you have already aligned the antenna using the coordinates for your region, you do
not need to re-enter your ZIP code to get the coordinates for your location. Only if you
leave the region would you have to re-enter your ZIP code to get the coordinates for
the new location.
Determining Antenna Coordinates
Antenna coordinates (Direction and Angle numbers) are based on the ZIP code of your location.
You can use these coordinates when aligning your antenna to the satellites.
1. Turn on the DIRECTV Sat-Go, press the
(POWER) button on the TV display.
2. Select Repeat Satellite Setup in the Satellite menu.
The ANTENNA INSTALLATION screen menu appears.
3. Select the antenna type Round (1 or 2 LNB).
4. Enter the ZIP code of your location. Select Continue and then select Signal Meter. The
appropriate direction (azimuth) and angle (elevation) display on the screen.
5. Write down the antenna coordinates that display (Direction and Angle) on the line below
each illustration.
Direction/Azimuth
(horizontal, side-to-side)
Angle/Elevation
(vertical up/down)
Note: Antenna coordinates will vary based on your location
6. Now align the antenna using these coordinates; go to view the signal meter (see “Aligning
the Antenna with the Satellite” on page 25.
