The satellites listed in TracVision R5/R4 satellite library will be
sufficient for most users. However, if you wish to install one or
two user-defined satellites, proceed to
Section 2.5.2, “Programming
User-defined Satellites.”
After configuring the user-defined
satellites, return to the satellite installation process in
Section 2.5.1, “Installing Your Selected Satellites.”
2.5.1 Installing Your Selected Satellites
When you first connect to the system, it is preprogrammed with
one of the following default satellite assignments:
• Europe: Astra 1 (Sat. A) and Hotbird (Sat. B)
• N. America (US DIRECTV): DSS_101 (Sat. A)
and DSS_119 (Sat. B)
• N. America (US DISH Network/ExpressVu):
Echo_119 (Sat. A) and Expressvu (Sat. B)
Should you wish to track a different satellite (either from the
satellite library or a user-defined satellite), you must instruct the
antenna which satellites will be in the active satellite pair.
