Pointing the Dish Antenna

The HD receiver will calculate the correct pointing
coordinates and then display this information on the
RESULTS screen shown on the right. Write down
this Elevation, Azimuth, and Tilt information. Then
highlighting the OK button and pressing the

key on the remote control will return to the DISH
SETUP
Menu. Use the coordinates from the
RESULTS screen to point your dish antenna at the
sky. The separate installation instructions that come
with the dish antenna will explain exactly how to use
the Elevation, Azimuth, and Tilt information.

Note: The round dish has no tilt
information.

Testing Signal Strength

The INSTALLATION screen shown at the right will
display the strengths of signals from the different
satellites and the transponders on each satellite. The
screen displays a numerical strength indication and a bar
graph accompanied by an audible tone to indicate signal
strength. The higher the number, the greater the amount
of the bar graph occupied, or the faster the beeping tone,
the stronger the signal.

You should test the signals from each of the satellites
that match the type of dish that you selected on the
DISH TYPE screen.

Highlighting the Source button on the
INSTALLATION screen and pressing the

key

on the remote control will display the Signal Source
pop-up menu shown at the right. Highlighting the
Satellite A (101°), Satellite B (119°), Satellite C (110°),
or Local Digital Terrestrial and pressing the

key on the remote control will return to the
INSTALLATION screen and show the signal strength
for the selected source.
