Chapter 6: Using the Setup Menu 67
Setting Up the Satellite Antenna
To install the satellite antenna, or to check the current signal level of the
antenna, use the Set Up Antenna screen.
Note
Make certain that the signal strength of the satellite antenna is optimized. If
the signal is not optimized, you may experience losses in audio or video,
especially during rain, snow, or other conditions that tend to degrade signal
performance. See the Satellite Antenna Installation Manual for details on
using the Set Up Antenna screen to point the dish and optimize the antenna’s
signal strength.
1
Select ANTENNA from the Setup Menu.

The Set Up Antenna screen appears.
To determine the elevation and azimuth settings for the satellite
antenna, select ZIP CODE or LAT/LONG.
ZIP CODE uses your five-digit zip code to determine the
elevation and azimuth settings.
LAT/LONG uses your location’s latitude and longitude to
determine the azimuth and elevation settings.
The Signal Strength Meter indicates the current signal
strength of the antenna.
The Transponder option allows you to select a transponder
number from 1 to 32. You should not need to change this
number (the default is 2) unless you’re instructed to do so by
your program provider.
See the Satellite Antenna Installation Manual for details on using the
Set Up Antenna screen to point the dish and optimize the antenna’s
signal strength.
