Configuring the DIRECTV HD Receiver
Before the user can start enjoying high-definition programming, the
DIRECTV HD receiver needs to be configured for an “Oval, 3 LNB”
dish type and must be activated for HDTV service.
Changing the Dish Type on the Receiver
To receive channels from the three DIRECTV satellites (101, 119, and
110), the receiver needs to be configured for an “Oval, 3 LNB” dish
(antenna) type. Since each model of receiver is different, refer to the
receiver’s manual for details on viewing and changing the dish type
setting.
Activating the DIRECTV HDTV Service
The HD receiver will only be able to decode HD channels if it is
activated. High-definition channels are not included with the basic
DIRECTV package, and premium HD channels, such as HBO HD,
must be ordered separately. KVH makes activation easy. Just call
KVH’s Activation Department at
