When selecting a channel that is broadcast from a different satellite, the VuQube antenna must switch to the new satellite in order for you to view that channel. - Page 13 STEP A: CHECK SWITCH TEST (Before satellite acquisition) 1. Disconnect the coax from “SAT IN” on the back of your receiver. 2. Turn on your TV and receiver. 3. On your receiver’s remote, press (MENU, 6, 1, 1) to display the signal meter screen. 4.
- Page 14 STEP B: SATELLITE ACQUISITION Determine which satellites you wish to switch between, and for each satellite listed, follow steps B-1, B-2 and B-3. WHEN COMPLETE, GO TO PAGE 13, STEP C. Example for DISH SD: • Choose the 110 satellite on your receiver screen (Step B-1), lock onto it (Step B-2), and then store it in position 1 (Step B-3).
- Page 15 Before running the check switch test, you must put the VuQube in the proper mode. Mode 01: Normal operating mode (use without automatic satellite switching)
