DIRECTV HD Receiver Setup
The following instructions assume that the TRAV’LER antenna has found and locked onto satellites 99°, 101°, and
103°. There should be an asterisk next to 99°, 101°, and 103° on the TRAV’LER interface.
In most receivers, the setup is done through the “Repeat Satellite Setup” option in your receiver menu. To access
the “Repeat Satellite Setup” option, go through the following steps. The following instructions are based on an H24
receiver. If your receiver differs from the options shown below, you may need to consult your receiver manual.
Check out online receiver setup guides for your antenna at www.winegard.com/receivers/setupguide.php.

seconds or until the TRAV’LER
interface displays “POWER ON.”

the type of satellite dish on the
top line.
2. Once the unit has been powered on,
release “POWER.”
6. In automatic search mode, the
TRAV’LER antenna will lock onto
three different satellites: 99°, 101°,
and 103°. The antenna will display
an asterisk for each satellite found.

position and begin to look for a
satellite. Upon finding a satellite, the
antenna will fine-tune or “peak” on
the signal.
