A numeric value for the strength ranges from 0 to 99. While your signal strength may vary, refer to the following map to determine the suggested signal strength goal for your area: Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary. 5) Gently continue turning the satellite dish antenna reflector a small amount as you were turning it when you began receiving a signal. Continue to adjust the satellite dish antenna in this fashion until the signal strength meter reaches the highest possible reading. Tighten the azimuth bolts. 6) Slowly tilt the satellite dish antenna up and down to try to improve the signal strength reading. When you are satisfied that you have achieved the strongest signal, tighten the elevation bolts. You may choose to try different transponders. Each transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder displayed when entering the screen represents the one associated with the last viewed program (or “02” if no program has been viewed). By moving the highlight to the transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying signal strengths. This is not indicative of any problem unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for information such as signal strength on a different transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will automatically change to the one that corresponds with the satellite channels that you view. Authorizing Your Service To confirm that the satellite dish antenna is properly adjusted to receive signals, try to receive promotional channels from DIRECTV.

PAGE 4-19 WATCHING PROGRAMS ON DIRECTV PLUS PROGRAMS ON DIRECTV PLUS 5 This chapter will reveal many different ways to find the programs you want to watch. The first thing you should know is that channels in the DIRECTV PLUS System world are arranged differently. Local programming delivered via satellite (if available) is located in channel numbers below 100. Channels that are not traditionally local broadcasts start at channel 100 and could go as high as 9999. Remember; do not assume that the front panel keys are a substitute for the remote control keys. Basic Channel Changing There are many ways to “surf” through the available programming. You already know at least two ways to change channels. The first of these is by using the and keys. Each key press takes you to the next available channel in the direction that you selected. The second way is to enter the number of the desired channel. For example, to go to the Direct Ticket movie previews, simply press . If the channel does not change right away, press to instruct the satellite receiver that you are finished entering digits. You can enter the number for any channel you wish. The Channel Banner Every time you tune to a channel, a banner will be displayed at the top of the screen. You can also display the Channel Banner any time by pressing the key. The key on the front panel of the digital satellite receiver will also provide this functionality, if there are no other messages indicating otherwise. Pressing will remove the banner immediately. This banner contains information about the program, including the program start and end times, title, rating, channel call sign or logo, channel number, and program or channel-related symbols where applicable. Symbols , as shown below, could include alternate audio, data, new mail, can’t tape, closed caption, and/or the lock status. See the section called “Alternate Services” later in this chapter for information on accessing alternate audio or data services. The CHANNEL BANNER Icon DATA SVCS. ALT.

This is called the Information Banner. Either of these banners will go away after a few seconds, or you can press the key or key to clear it on demand.
