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).

1

The Main menu appears.

Use the arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the SETUP menu
item, then press the

button on your remote control.

menu item, then press the

button on your remote control.

4

item, then press the

button on your remote control.
