Chapter 3 - Operation
Switching Satellites - TriSat
If your TracVision antenna is configured to track the DIRECTV TriSat
group, your TracVision antenna will track three DIRECTV satellites in
TriSat mode:
•
101
(Primary)
•
110
(HDTV)
•
119
(Locals)
NOTE:
For details on configuring the TracVision antenna for the DIRECTV
TriSat group, see
“Selecting the DIRECTV TriSat Group” on page 27
In TriSat mode, you can choose between two methods of satellite
switching: Automatic or Manual. The following sections explain how
to use each mode. For details on choosing a Sat Select mode, see
“Choosing a Sat Select Mode - TriSat Only” on page 45
.
Automatic Switching
With Automatic Sat Select mode enabled, the antenna switches
between a pair of satellites automatically, as necessary, when you
change channels using the receiver’s remote control. Since the antenna
is configured to track three satellites, you can select either the
101-110
or
101-119
satellite pair on the MCP for automatic switching (see
Figure 3-1 Automatic Satellite Switching in TriSat Mode
NOTE:
The primary receiver, which is connected to the splitter, controls
satellite selection. All secondary receivers will only be able to receive channels
carried on the satellite that is currently selected on the primary receiver.
