IMPORTANT! Unless you have DIRECTV service for single satellite 101, you must have completed the antenna
configuration as instructed in Section 4 ANTENNA CONFIGURATION.
There must be a clear "line of sight" to the southern sky. Mountains, buildings, trees, telephone
poles, etc. can all block the satellite signal from reaching the antenna.
The distance driven since last performing a search may affect how long it takes for the
KING Dome to find the satellite.
This KING Dome will not receive HD channels broadcast from DIRECTV's Ka band satellites at
99° and 103°.
1. Turn on TV and Receiver. "Searching for Satellite" or similar will appear on TV screen.
