DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ System
Components
There are three main components of your DIRECTV PARA TODOS™ System. They are the satellite
dish antenna, the digital satellite receiver, and the remote control. Take a few minutes to read about
each one.
The Satellite Dish Antenna
The satellite dish antenna is the component that receives the digital signals. It must be mounted to a
solid outdoor surface that allows a clear view of the southern sky.
The large dish-shaped part is known as the reflector. Your reflector
is oval shaped (18” high by 24” wide).
At the end of a tubular arm that is attached to the satellite dish
antenna, there is a low noise block (LNB) assembly. Satellite dish
antennas come in a variety of LNB configurations. Your assembly
provides for receiving signals from multiple satellites and
distributing the signal to one or more satellite receivers through the
use of a multi-switch (not shown).
The mounting bracket and base plate make adjustments easy during
installation. Once the satellite dish antenna has been properly
positioned to point toward the satellites, you should never need to
adjust it again.
Refer to the instructions in Chapter 4, “Installing the Satellite Dish
Antenna” or other satellite antenna installation instructions to
determine the type of antenna you have.
The Digital Satellite Receiver
This digital satellite receiver is one of the most compact available today. The basic features for setup,
installation, and viewing programming can be accessed from the front panel keys.
Your access card is located behind the door on the right side of the digital satellite
receiver. This special card contains information about your level of service and holds
pay per view purchase activity. This card should not be removed except to protect the
digital satellite receiver from unauthorized use or to replace the card when DIRECTV
supplies a new one.
The power key (
) is used to turn the digital satellite receiver on and off. The
power light (located next to the power key) will illuminate when the unit is on. Any
off-air signal, such as cable TV or local programming, connected to the
