DIRECTV PLUS™ DIGITAL SATELLITE RECEIVER'S MENU SYSTEM
Installation
The INSTALLATION screen provides the utilities that makes the setup and testing of your system
The INSTALLATION screen
Once the process has begun, your old access card will no longer allow viewing. You should not
interrupt the process once it has begun. An interruption could cause both the old and the new card to
become invalid. When the process is complete, your new access card will be usable, while the old card
will no longer be valid.
Satellite
This button only applies for oval dishes that are equipped with LNBs that receive signals from 101 ,
119 and possibly 110 . Each time this button is selected, the satellite being monitored for signal
strength will advance.
Transponder #
You may want to try different transponders to troubleshoot satellite signal reception problems. Each
transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder shown when the screen first
displays represents the one associated with the last viewed program. By moving the highlight to the
transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying
signal strengths. This is normal unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of
signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for signal strength on a different
transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will
automatically change depending on the channel you want to view.
Another signal strength utility that you may find useful is the Cable Test that can be found in the
SYSTEM TEST screen.
Receiver ID
Someday, you may choose to get a second digital satellite receiver. If both receivers are in the same
room or if you are using an RF remote control or a remote control extender, you may experience
interference between signals. To avoid this "cross talk," simply highlight the Receiver ID button and
press
on the remote control to be used for that specific digital satellite receiver. Remember to
set your remote control to the desired code first. For information regarding changing the remote control
code, see the chapter "Programming Your Remote Control."
Dish Type
The Dish Type button will initiate a pop-up menu where you can choose the style of satellite dish you
are using. The following options are provided in that menu:
SINGLE – Refers to the traditional 18" satellite dish. This dish will be configured with an LNB with
two outputs. (HSYS-E4532)
simple and convenient.
