Dish Pointing
The Dish Pointing menu helps you set up your TV and optimize your reception of
the satellite signal.
Selecting Dish Type
It is important to complete each of the following steps required for your satellite
dish antenna. If you do not, you will not receive proper dish pointing coordinates
and will not be able to take full advantage of your system.
Specify the type of dish you are using:
1. Press MENU on the remote control to bring up the Main menu.
2. Select Assistance, then Dish Pointing.
3. Use the arrows to highlight Select Dish, then press OK.
4. Specify the type of dish you are using: an oval satellite dish or a round satellite
dish.
5. If you are using a round satellite dish, you are finished selecting your dish.
6. If you are using an oval satellite dish, specify the number of satellite locations
from which your satellite dish antenna will be receiving signals. This number is
equal to the number of LNBs (Low Noise Block converters) mounted on your
dish. For example, if you have two LNBs, select 2 Satellite Location Dish.
If you have an oval satellite dish, the Select Dish
menu will prompt you for more information about
your satellite dish antenna.
