OPERATION
1. Make sure your current region is selected. (See Section 3, Operation.)
2. Select your satellite pair.
Your channels are broadcast from 5 different satellite locations, and the antenna can be
set to automatically switch between two satellites (101/110) or (101/119). If you select the
(101/110) satellite pair on the controller, the antenna will automatically switch to the
appropriate satellite when a channel broadcast from the 101 or 110 satellite is selected.
In this example, if you select a channel that is broadcast from the 119 satellite, you will
need to select the (101/119) satellite pair on the controller and then the antenna will
automatically switch to the appropriate satellite when a channel broadcast from the 101 or
119 satellite is selected. (The Trac-King does not receive HD programming from
DIRECTV’s Ka band satellites at 99° and 103°.)
3. To change the selected satellite pair, simply press the button on the controller.
SATELLITE SWITCHING
When you select a channel on the 110 or 119 satellite, the receiver emits a tone telling the
antenna to switch satellites. If you have two receivers, the main receiver that is connected to the
antenna tuner box will control the satellite switching. If a multi-switch is installed for connecting 2
HD receivers or 3+ receivers, any receiver can control the antenna switching if the last channel
selected on all other receivers was on an odd transponder on the 101 satellite such as channel
202. (At the time of publication, channel 202 is broadcast on an odd transponder on satellite
101. This is subject to change. If in doubt whether channel 202 is still on an odd transponder,
contact DIRECTV or call King Controls.)

IMPORTANT! Select your current region first. Failure to select your current region may result in
extraordinary delays in channel acquisition. (See Section 3, Operation.)
Note: The Trac-King can only receive programming from one satellite at a time. If you change channels on your
main receiver, and the Trac-King has to change satellites, you may lose the current programming on your
second receiver.
Note: The program guide will show all channels available from the 101, 110, 119 satellites, however it may take
up to an hour for this information to be downloaded into the receiver after the satellite is acquired. If all
of your channels do not load in the guide within an hour, press the reset button on the front of your
DIRECTV receiver.
When switching between satellites, the TV picture may be disrupted for a brief period while the receiver
processes the signal from the satellite.
This HDTV converter accessory may only be used with Trac-King models with S/N 47891 or higher.
