Using Auto Detection to set the dish type

To function properly, your DIRECTV

®

High-Definition Receiver needs to know what

type of satellite dish you are using. You can specify the dish type using the
instructions on page 31, or you can follow the steps below to use the Auto
Detection

menu item to automatically set the dish type.

Before you can use Auto Detection to set the dish-type, the dish must be correctly
aligned and the DIRECTV HD Receiver must be receiving a strong signal from the
satellite (that is, signal-lock must be established). To check the satellite signal, use the
signal meter — see page 30 for details.
