DISH POINTING
The Dish Pointing
menu helps you set up your HDTV and optimize
your
reception
of the satellite
signal.
SELECTING
DISH
TYPE
It is important
to complete
each of the following
steps required
for your
satellite dish antenna.
If you do not, you will not receive proper dish
pointing
coordinates
and will not be able to take full advantage
of your
system.
Specify the type of dish you are using:
1.
Press MENU on the remote control to bring up the Main menu.
2.
Select Assistance, then Dish Pointing.
3.
Use the arrows to highlight
Select Dish, then press OK.
4.
Specify the type of dish you are using: a round satellite
dish or an
oval dish.
Peak Signal
The "Peak Signal" indicates the highest
signal strength
you have obtained, which
is not necessarily the highest possible
signal.
While the maximum signal strength is
100, the signal strength
you achieve will
probably be less. Although there is no
difference in picture quality between
signal strengths of 60 and 85, the higher
the signal, the less likely you are to
experience negative effects in degraded
conditions such as rain or snow (called
"rain fade").

6.
Depending
on the type of dish you have, the Select Dish
menu will prompt
you for more information
about your
satellite
dish antenna.
If you are using a round satellite dish, you are finished
selecting your
dish.
If you are using an oval satellite
dish, specify the number of satellite
locations
from which your satellite dish antenna will be receiving
signals. This number
is equal to the number of LNBs (Low Noise
Blocks) mounted
on your dish. For example,
if you have two LNBs,
select 2 Satellite Location
Dish.
LNBs
An oval satellite
dish with
two LIMBs.
