Remote Control
You can program your remote to control power, muting and volume on your TV or A/V
Receiver. You can also use your HD DVR remote to change inputs on your TV. See
“Programming the Remote Control” on page 109 for instructions.
Satellite and Off-Air Antenna
The Satellite and Off-Air Antenna Settings screen has options for testing and resetting
your satellite and off-air antenna information. You may need to change these settings if
you move, or if you change the position of your satellite dish or off-air antenna, or if you
receive a new access card from DIRECTV. Most of these settings were established before
or during Guided Setup, and you may not ever need to change them.
Repeat Guided Setup. If you have a loss of signal and wish to diagnose the problem, or
you need to re-point your satellite dish antenna, or if you add additional equipment, you
can select “Repeat Guided Setup” to reconfigure your satellite dish antenna setup. After
selecting this, you need to enter a safety code (press THUMBS DOWN three times, then
press ENTER). For more information, see “Satellite Dish Guided Setup” on page 23.
Test Satellite Signal Strength. This screen shows approximate pointing information for
your satellite dish antenna. You can also use this screen to check the strength of the signal
received from each transponder on a selected satellite dish antenna. It shows you the
signal strength from individual transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all of
your channels, you should check signal strength on all transponders.
When you first come to this screen, it shows signal strength for the transponder that carries
the current channel. If you are having trouble with a specific channel, tune to that channel,
then come to this screen to check the signal for that transponder.
