Satellite Connections. If you connected an RF coaxial cable to each of the DIRECTV
DVR “Satellite In” jacks, select “Two cables.” If you connected only one RF coaxial cable
(to the “Satellite In 1” jack), select “One cable.” To be able to record two programs at the
same time, you must connect an RF coaxial cable from the satellite dish antenna (or a
multiswitch) to both of the “Satellite In” jacks and then choose “Two cables” on this
screen.
ZIP Code . Use the number keys on your remote control to enter your ZIP code. The DVR
uses your ZIP code to determine the direction your satellite dish antenna should point. If
you make a mistake, press LEFT arrow to correct it.
Satellite Dish Direction
. Based on your ZIP code and dish type, this screen shows
roughly how to position your satellite dish antenna. You will fine tune the position later on
during Satellite Dish Guided Setup at the Test Signal Strength screen. Before positioning
the dish, be sure the mast (the pole on which the dish is mounted) is straight up and down.
For 2 or 3 satellite dish antennas, the screen provides a required tilt in addition to side-to-
side (azimuth) and up-down (elevation) information available for round dishes.
Professional satellite installers are available in most areas to ensure correct installation. If
your satellite system was installed by a professional, the satellite dish antenna direction
should be correct. To see the next screen, press SELECT.
Satellite Checklist . The items on this list help ensure you receive a clear satellite signal.
To see the next screen, press SELECT when you are satisfied that each item is complete.
Test Signal Strength . You use this screen to check the strength of the signal received by
your satellite dish antenna. If you have two cables connected to the Satellite In jacks, it
shows you the signal strength for each connection. It lets you see the signal strength from
individual transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all your channels, you
should check signal strength on all transponders.
A transponder is a piece of radio
equipment on a satellite. The
DIRECTV transponders receive
information from DIRECTV and
rebroadcast it to your satellite dish
antenna. Each transponder rebroadcasts
a different set of channels. If the DVR
does not receive a signal for an individual
transponder, it will not be able to show
that transponder’s channels. Satellites
may have different numbers of
transponders.
