After Guided Setup: Getting a Satellite Signal
If the antenna is already aligned to the satellite, the TV automatically comes on when you press
(POWER). If the antenna is not aligned to the satellite, a message displays on the screen,
“Searching for Satellite.” You can easily realign the antenna using the Signal Strength Meter. If
you need additional support, you can use antenna coordinates to help you point your antenna
towards the satellites.
TIP:
If you have already aligned the antenna using the coordinates for your region, you do
not need to re-enter your ZIP code to get the coordinates for your location. Only if you
leave the region would you have to re-enter your ZIP code to get the coordinates for
the new location.
Determining Antenna Coordinates

You can use these coordinates when aligning your antenna to the satellites.
