Automatic Satellite Switching for DIRECTV
In Automatic satellite switching mode, the TV-Hub can accept
commands from the master SWM-compatible DIRECTV receiver to
automatically switch between the 101W and 119W satellites. (To learn
more about SWM technology, see
.) The TV-Hub communicates with the master
receiver via the TV-Hub’s Ethernet port link to your DIRECTV coax
network. Set up this communication link with your SWM-compatible
receivers, as explained in the following topics:
•
“DIRECTV Coax Network Connections” on page 68
•
“Additional Equipment for Old DIRECTV Receivers” on
page 70
•
“Setting Up a DIRECTV Receiver for Automatic Switching”
on page 71
NOTE: The 119W satellite only carries local channels for certain regions of
the country. (You can find a list of these regions in the Setup Wizard.) If your
locals are carried on DIRECTV’s main 101W satellite, you do not need to
switch satellites.
