Setting the dish type manually
To function properly, your DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver needs to know what type of satellite dish you
are using. You can set the dish type manually using the instructions below. See the next page for
information on how to set the dish type automatically.
Note: For access to DIRECTV
®
High-Denition programming, you will need an oval, triple
LNB satellite dish antenna.
6. When you have displayed the correct dish type, use the right-arrow button
on your remote control to highlight OK, then press SELECT. A message
appears warning you that your HD Receiver needs to reboot (turn itself off
and on) for the Dish Type setting to take effect.
7. To change the dish type to the new setting, highlight OK and press SELECT
on your remote. Your receiver will reboot.
To leave the dish type setting unchanged, highlight Cancel and press
SELECT on your remote.
If you selected No Dish, the HD Receiver will perform an auto-scan to put
your cable and off-air channels into its memory so you can tune them and
see them in the on-screen guide.
