Programming DSS Plus IRDs

If you are using multiple DSS Plus IRDs and intend to shift from
one satellite to another, only one of the IRDs can be configured as
a two-satellite receiver. All other IRDs must be configured as one-
satellite receivers. The two-satellite IRD will determine which
satellite the antenna is tracking while the other receivers can
watch any channels available via that satellite. Refer to your IRD
user manual for complete details on this process.
