Now that you have installed the TracVision R6ST 
system, you need to turn the system on and 
verify that the antenna works properly.

a.

Ensure the antenna has a clear view of the 

southern sky.

b.

Apply power to the TV, receiver, and the 

TracVision R6ST system.

c.

Turn on the power switch on the front of 

the receiver (see 

Figure 19

).

d.

Wait while the antenna searches the sky 

for the satellite. Within a few minutes, all 

three status lights on the front of the 

receiver should be lit green.

NOTE: 

If all three status lights are not lit 

green, refer to the User’s Guide for 
troubleshooting information.

e.

A progress bar will appear on the TV, 

indicating that the receiver is 

downloading the program guide (see 

Figure 20

).

NOTE: 

The receiver might take up to one 

minute to load the program guide.

f.

Once the program guide is loaded, verify 

that you can view the DIRECTV preview 

channel (channel 100).
