To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The RoadTrip Mission antenna will toggle between
the primary or alternate satellites for either DISH
Network or DIRECTV on the primary receiver. Both
satellite programming providers have programming
on more than one satellite. When a channel is
selected on the remote control that is located on a
different satellite, the unit will automatically toggle
to the correct satellite.

To order receivers or programming, please call
the Winegard receiver hotline: 1 (866) 609-9374.
DIRECTV programming
DIRECTV receivers must be set for 3-LNB
(18 x 20) sat selection to enable toggling between
primary 101° satellite and alternate 119° satellite

programming on 110° or any KA-band HD on 99°
and 103°. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)
After receiver is set for the correct dish selection,
when you request a channel located on a different
satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to that
satellite.
