About Initial Setup
The DIRECTV ® HD Receiver is capable of receiving three types of signals; ANT, CABLE and
DIRECTV ® programming (if you are a DIRECTV customer). Initial Setup lets you initialize your
system to function properly with your dish antenna.
Setup Wizard
Will provide a guided sequence from dish selection (step1) to channel setup (step 5).
Step 1. Dish Setup
As a first step, you should select one of three dish setup modes ( Manual Selection / Auto
Detection /No Dish ).
Manual Selection allows you to select the correct dish type among three different types avail-
able; Round Dish for Satellite Network A only, Oval Dish for Satellite Networks A and B, or
Oval Dish for Satellite Networks A, B, and C. For advice on selecting a dish that will provide
the services that you desire, contact DIRECTV (1-800-DIRECTV) or your local DIRECTV retail
expert. If you already have a dish, refer to its user's guide to determine its type. To receive all
available HD programming, you should install and select the Oval dish type (Oval dish (Sat A,
B, C)).
The Auto Detection feature will help you select your dish if you are unsure of your dish type.
If you are not a DIRECTV customer and want to view programming only from Antenna/Cable,
then select the No Dish Mode.
