programming (DISH 500)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW64” switch installed in order to toggle between the primary
119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite. (Consult your receiver manual for the procedure to reach
the “check switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW64 Switch” is a DISH Network receiver setting,
NOT
a physical part.
To install the “SW64” switch:
1. Before turning on your DuraSAT antenna, make sure that your satellite receiver and television are
turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish” menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this
menu.)
2. Turn on the DuraSAT
system and wait for the unit to acquire a signal on satellite 119°.
3. You now have six minutes to complete Check Switch test. Consult your receiver manual for
instructions on running the test. Be sure that Superdish and Alternate are unchecked if applicable. On
screen options may vary by receiver.
4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin checking the switch by toggling between
satellites. When this is completed, SW64 will appear on the screen. It will be at the near the bottom of
the screen. Satellite designations will be below, showing odd and even transponders. See illustration
below.
If a switch other than SW64 appears, or you have an ‘X’ in one of the boxes below the satellites,
repeat Check Switch Steps.
5. Your system is now set up to toggle between satellites. It will automatically move to the correct
satellite when a channel is selected with your remote control.
NOTE: Once these steps are completed, you won’t have to perform this test again, unless
Check Switch was performed on another satellite dish, such as a home dish.
Note: The DuraSAT antenna is designed to be maintenance free. However, it is a good
idea to clean the dome from time to time with a soft cloth, water and dish soap.
Warning: Painting the DuraSAT dome voids the warranty, degrades signal strength and
may cause damage to the antenna.

Your Winegard automatic satellite
dish will move from the primary to the
alternate satellites in order to receive
multi-satellite programming.
