Satellite System Components
There are three main components of a satellite system. They are the satellite dish antenna, the
DIRECTV PLUS

digital satellite receiver, and the remote control. Take a few minutes to read about
each one.
The Satellite Dish Antenna
The satellite dish antenna is the component that receives the digital signals. It must be mounted to a
solid outdoor surface that allows a clear view of the southern sky.
The large dish-shaped part is known as the reflector. Your reflector
may be fairly round (18”) or oval shaped (18” high by 24” wide).
At the end of a tubular arm that is attached to the satellite dish
antenna, there is a low noise block (LNB) assembly. Satellite dish
antennas come in a variety of LNB configurations. Your assembly
may provide for receiving signals from multiple satellites and/or
distributing the signal to one or more satellite receivers.
The mounting bracket and base plate make adjustments easy during
installation. Once the satellite dish antenna has been properly
positioned to point toward the satellites, you should never need to
adjust it again.
Refer to the instructions in Chapter 4, “Installing the Satellite Dish
Antenna” or other satellite dish antenna installation instructions to
determine the type of antenna you have.
The DIRECTV PLUS™ Digital
Satellite Receiver
This DIRECTV PLUS

digital satellite receiver is one of the most compact available today. The basic
features for setup, installation, and viewing programming can be accessed from the front panel keys.
Your access card is located behind the door on the right side of the digital satellite receiver. This
special card contains information about your level of service and holds pay per view purchase activity.
This card should not be removed except to protect the digital satellite receiver from unauthorized use
or to replace the card when DIRECTV supplies a new one.
The power key ( ) is used to turn the digital satellite receiver on and off. The power light will
illuminate when the unit is on. Any off-air signal, such as cable TV or local programming, connected
to the
IN FROM ANT
jack is passed through to the
OUT TO TV
jack when the digital satellite receiver
power is off.
The information key ( ) is used to display descriptions of satellite programs and channels on your
TV screen.
