Chapter 3: Setting up and connecting
7 Use the 0 - 9 buttons on your remote control to enter your five-digit ZIP code.
When you have entered all five digits, the screen updates to display the correct
azimuth, elevation, and (for oval dish types only) tilt.
Azimuth
refers to the left-to-right angle to which you should point your dish.
Elevation refers to the up-and-down angle to which you should point your dish.
Tilt (for oval dishes only) refers to the amount off-horizontal you should twist
the dish on its axis.
Write down these numbers and use them to accurately point your satellite dish.
8 To return to the Set Dish menu, press the BACK button on your remote control.
To exit the Menu system, press the EXIT button on your remote control.
Checking the satellite signal strength
The Signal Meter allows you to check the strength of the signal from the satellite to
your satellite dish. This is useful while setting up your satellite dish, and while
troubleshooting any reception problems you may encounter. Satellite signal strength
can be affected by how accurately you have pointed the satellite dish, and by any
obstructions between the satellite and the satellite dish (tree limbs, for example).
(Note: If you connected your DIRECTV ® High-Definition Receiver to an off-air
antenna, you can check the strength of any digital signals received by that
antenna using the Digital Off-Air Signal Strength meter. Follow the
instructions in Programming local channels later in this chapter.)
To check your satellite signal strength, follow these steps:
1 Press the MENU button on your remote control.
2 Highlight the SETUP menu item, then press the OK button.
3 Highlight the Installation menu item, then press the OK button.
4 Highlight the Set Dish menu item, then press the OK button.
5 Highlight the Signal Meter menu item, then press the OK button.
