Selecting the DIRECTV Trisat Group
Follow these steps to turn on the system and set it
up for Trisat mode. In Trisat mode, the system
tracks and receives TV signals from three
DIRECTV satellites (101, 119, and 110). The 110
satellite carries most of DIRECTV’s HD
programming.
1. Ensure the antenna has a clear, unobstructed
view of the sky.
2. Apply power to the satellite TV receiver(s),
TV(s), and switchplate. Wait two minutes for
system startup.
3. Press the center MENU button on the MCP’s
front panel to access the onscreen menu (see
Figure 43).
4. At “Install Satellite?”, press YES.
5. At “Trisat Mode?”, press YES.
6. At “USA or Europe?”, press USA. The MCP
installs the Trisat group of satellites into the
antenna.
7. Now you need to choose a Sat Select mode:
Automatic or Manual (see the next section
for a brief description of each). At “Set Sat
Select Mode”, press AUTO to select
Automatic mode, or press MANUAL to
select Manual mode.
8. If you selected Automatic mode, at “Select
SAT 101 and“, select a satellite pair:
• Press 119 for 101-119
• Press 110 for 101-110
After restart, the antenna will start tracking
the satellite pair you selected.
9. The antenna restarts. Wait two minutes for
system startup.
