To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The RoadTrip ™ SD and SDi will toggle between the
primary and secondary satellites for either DISH
Network or DIRECTV. Both have programming on
more than one satelite. When a channel is se-
lected on the remote control and is not on the
satellite currently selected, the unit will automati-
cally toggle to the correct satellite.
Note: The RoadTrip
™ SDi will toggle while sta-
tionary or In-motion.
DIRECTV programming
1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2
sat selection to enable toggling between primary
101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite
only. (Consult receiver manual for procedure.)
After receiver is set for the correct dish selection,
when you request a channel located on a differ-
ent satellite, the unit will automatically toggle to
that satellite.
DISH Network programming (DISH 500)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW42”
switch installed in order to toggle between the pri-
mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite.
(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure to
reach the “check switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW42 Switch” is a DISH Network
®

Superdish and Alternate are unchecked if appli-
cable. Onscreen options may vary by receiver.
5. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will
begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW42 will ap-
pear on the screen. It will be at the top of the
screen, satellite designations will be below, show-
ing odd and even transponders. See illustration.
If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you
have an X in one of the boxes below the satel-
lites, repeat Check Switch Steps.

satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when a channel is selected with your re-
mote control.
NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you
won’t have to perform this test again, unless
Check Switch was performed on another satel-
lite dish, such as a home dish.
