SECTION 5
AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING
DIRECTV
To receive programming from the DIRECTV 101 satellite only, your receiver must be set for
round dish-1 satellite (do this through the receiver’s satellite set-up menu screens).
To automatically switch between the 101 and 119 satellites for DIRECTV, choose the DTV
101/119 option (see procedure on page 20), and make sure your receiver is set for
oval dish-2 satellites (do this through the receiver’s satellite set-up menu screens).
To receive DIRECTV HD programming with your Trac-King antenna requires the purchase of an
optional HD converter kit # 9747. This will allow you to receive the specially formatted HD
signals from DIRECTV’s 110° satellite and automatically switch between satellites 101/110 and
101/119 when simply changing channels.
The automatic satellite switching feature can be active on 1 or more receivers depending on how
the system is installed. The two options for automatic satellite switching are as follows:
Switching from master receiver only
To enable automatic satellite switching from the main satellite receiver only, use the wiring
configuration found on page 30. This allows only the receiver connected to the tuner to provide
the switching command to the antenna when a channel from the alternate satellite is selected.
If you plan to use this switching method with (2) HDTV receivers, a second HD converter #9747
is required (page 31).
Switching from any receiver
To automatically switch satellites from any receiver location when the installation includes 2 or
more satellite receivers, a multi-switch (#1810) must be installed in-line (see page 32). This
allows any of the receivers to provide the switching command to the antenna when a channel
from the alternate satellite is selected, provided that all other receivers are tuned to a channel on
the 101 satellite.
Note: To learn more about receiving HDTV programming with your Trac-King antenna, contact your local
authorized King-Dome dealer or call King Controls at (800) 982-9920.
IMPORTANT! This King-Dome will receive available HDTV programming from DIRECTV Ku band satellites
at 101°, 110° and 119° with the properly installed HD converter accessory. It will not receive
channels broadcast from DIRECTV’s Ka band satellites at 99° and 103°.
