Using Auto Detection to set the dish type
To function properly, your DIRECTV Receiver needs to know what type of satellite
dish you are using. You can specify the dish type using the instructions on page 33,
or you can follow the steps below to use the Auto Detection menu item to
automatically set the dish type.
Before you can use Auto Detection to set the dish-type, the dish must be correctly
aligned and the DIRECTV Receiver must be receiving a strong signal from the
satellite (that is, signal-lock must be established). To check the satellite signal, use
the signal meter — see page 32 for details.)
