You should perform the cable test for each of the
satellites supported by the dish antenna you selected in
the
DISH TYPE
screen. If you are setting up your
system to receive signals from Satellites B (110°) and
C (119°), you will need to change source satellites
between each Cable Test.
Note: Not all of the transponders on Satellites
B (119°) and C (110°) are currently being
used. On Satellite B, for example, you may
receive NA (Not Available) indications for
several transponders. This is normal.
