HUGHES-BRAND DIRECTV SYSTEM OWNER'S MANUAL
Determine Where to Point Your
Satellite Dish

The INSTALLATION screen

When you press
you will be whisked into the screen that assists you with dish pointing and
signal strength utilities. Since you may have never used the
DIRECTV System before, we'll go slowly at first. But pay attention;
you are starting to learn how to navigate the menus.
If you are using the model HIRD-C2 receiver, use the Sat 1/Sat 2
button to set the display to be in "Satellite 2 Signal Strength."
Move the highlight to the Position button and press
. You
will need to decide whether you know where you are by your ZIP
code or by your latitudinal and longitudinal position. Press the
or
keys on the remote control or receiver front panel until your
preferred selection is highlighted. Then press
.
The INSTALLATION screen
You will now see a pop-up panel with space to enter your
information. Enter your location. If you are using the remote control,
press the "SAT" key, followed by the five appropriate digits. From the remote control or receiver
front panel you can also use the
or
keys to increase or decrease the highlighted digit value,
and the key to advance to the next digit. Use the
key to back up to correct any mistakes. When
you are finished, press
on the button labeled OK to continue.

ALIGNMENT RESULT Pop-up Panel

The ALIGNMENT RESULT will display the proper elevation and azimuth for pointing the dish

HIRD-C2 owners also note POLARIZATION:
The values displayed are fairly accurate; however some fine-tuning
may be necessary. Use these values when choosing a mounting
location for your satellite dish, remembering that you will need an
unobstructed view in that direction.
The ALIGNMENT RESULT screen
The results provided for HIRD-C2 receivers are for the DIRECTV
Plus antenna only. Contact the Customer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995 for the proper
coordinates if you should choose to use the HIRD-C2 receiver with a DIRECTV System 18"
satellite antenna.
