SECOND RECEIVER OPERATION
INITIAL SETUP FOR SECOND RECEIVER
1 . Make sure your second receiver has been properly set up and activated (while connected to the
MAIN port) as described in the New and Unactivated Receiver Section (page 6) .
2 . Connect your properly activated main
receiver to the MAIN port . Run a scan to
lock onto the satellites .
3 . Connect the second receiver to the
AUX port .
4 . Run a check switch test on second receiver .
When test is complete, save the results .
Antenna must be locked
on with main receiver
connected to MAIN port.
DOWNLOADING PROGRAMMING TO THE SECOND RECEIVER
5 . After completing the check switch test, reset the second receiver by pressing the POWER button
on the front panel for 10 seconds . The receiver will reboot and go into sleep mode (green light
on front panel will be off) . Press
Select
to wake it up .
The receiver will then download the program guide to show only the channels available on the
current satellite as determined by the channel selected on the main receiver . Downloading the
new program guide can take up to five minutes to complete.
The channels available on the second receiver are determined by the channel/satellite selected on
the main receiver . For example, if you select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from
the 119 satellite, then the second receiver will be able to view any channel broadcast from the 119
satellite .
If you switch channels on the main receiver to one that is broadcast from a different satellite, (for
example, your channel was broadcast from satellite 119 but your new channel is broadcast from the
110), the antenna will automatically switch to the 110 satellite and programming will be lost on the
second receiver until you either:
• Select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the previous satellite (satellite 119
in this example) .
(or)
• Reset the second receiver by running another check switch test to download the program guide
for the newly selected satellite (satellite 110 in this example) .
NOTE: If you choose a channel on the main TV that causes the antenna to switch satellites, you may have to run a
check switch on the second receiver .
IMPORTANT! If your second receiver is new and unactivated, you must first connect it to the MAIN port and do
an initial setup as described in the New and Unactivated Receiver Section starting on page 6.
