NOTE: Be sure to record the skew angle (the average skew for all three
satellites) reported during this procedure. You will need this information if
you need to adjust the TracVision system’s skew angle. See “Setting the LNB
Skew Angle (Linear Versions)” on page 31 for more information on setting
the skew angle.
NOTE: To enable automatic switching, the receiver must be set up to match
the TracVision system’s satellite settings. Refer to “Linear Receiver
Configuration” on page 22 for more information.
