Satellite
The Satellite screen gives you access to information and settings for your satellite
system's antenna.
Test Signal Strength
This feature allows you to determine the strength of all available signals, one at a
time. There is a separate test for each satellite from which your antenna receives
information.
If you'd like more information about the signal test, use the arrow buttons to
highlight More Info, then press SELECT.
Note: After you nish installing the dish antenna and exit the Dish Pointing
menu screens, the message “Searching for Satellite Signal” might appear
for a few seconds, followed by the Satellite Data Acquisition screen. This
is normal. Go to page 12, in the “Wait for the Receiver to Download
ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ Data” section, for details.
Repeat Satellite Dish Setup
The Repeat Satellite Setup item takes you through the steps to congure your
satellite antenna. Don't select Repeat Satellite Dish Setup unless you've been told
to by a professional installer or service representative, or unless you're performing
your own installation.
Enter Lat. & Long.
The Enter Lat. & Long. item lets you nd dish-pointing coordinates from
latitude and longitude entries. Latitudes between 20 and 55 can be entered, and
longitudes between 65 and 125 can be entered. The Enter Lat. & Long. screen is
part of the Satellite Setup procedure.
Notes:
The Enter Lat. & Long. screen does not actually change anything about your
satellite dish setup. You can use it as a reference to see what dish pointing
coordinates correspond to a given latitude and longitude.
In general, it is easier to nd dish pointing coordinates using your ZIP code
in the Satellite Setup screen. Use the Enter Lat. & Long. screen if you don't
have access to ZIP code information, such as when you're setting up your
satellite system on a boat or in an RV.
Reset Satellite Info
Reset Satellite Info overrides all of your current system settings and starts the setup
procedure again.
Important: Don't select Reset Satellite Info unless you've been told to by a
professional installer or customer service representative.
