The ZIP Code entered here will specify what terrestrial program information should appear in the Advanced Program Guide™. Area 2 Area 2 may be a neighboring city or distant terrestrial station you wish to receive from the same VHF/UHF antenna used in Area 1. The ZIP Code entered here will specify what terrestrial program information should appear in the Advanced Program Guide™. Cable TV You have connected a cable television service. The cable provider entered here will specify what cable program information should appear in the on- screen program guide. System Test The SYSTEM TEST screen will display the signal strength of all of the transponders on the satellite that have been selected on the Signal Source pop-up menu. It will also indicate the quality of the signal transfer between the dish antenna and the HD receiver. The SYSTEM TEST Menu offers the following options: Begin Test Starts the receiver test, which provides basic status information about the receiver. The test may take up to one minute. Cable Test Tests and displays indicators of all transponder signals from the satellite chosen by the Source pop-up menu. Upgrade Checks the status of software upgrades that DIRECTV periodically performs. Highlighting the System Test button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the SYSTEM TEST screen. Using the and keys, highlight either the Begin Test or Cable Test button and press the SELECT key on the remote control. After a short period of time, the results of the test will be displayed. You should perform the cable test for each of the satellites supported by the dish antenna you selected in the DISH TYPE screen. If you are setting up your system to receive signals from Satellites B (110°) and C (119°), you will need to change source satellites between each Cable Test. Note: Not all of the transponders on Satellites B (119°) and C (110°) are currently being used. On Satellite B, for example, you may receive NA (Not Available) indications for The SYSTEM TEST screen several transponders. This is normal. Page 4-5 Hughes Model HIRD-E86 Platinum HD Receiver When you have received a strong signal from several transponders on each of the satellites you are setting up, you have completed the setup for digital satellite channels. A numeric value for the signal strength ranges from 0 to 99. While your signal strength may vary, refer to the following map to determine the suggested signal strength for your area: Typical signal strength results. Your actual signal strength may vary. Check to see if you are receiving the DIRECTV Promotional Channel on Channel 100. If you are receiving that channel, you can now telephone 1-800 DIRECTV to subscribe to DIRECTV Programming®. If you have difficulties receiving a strong signal on one individual satellite, the pointing of the dish antenna will need fine tuning. Fine Tuning the Pointing of the Dish Antenna It often takes two people to fine tune the pointing of the dish antenna. One person watches the signal strength indicator on the INSTALLATION screen and relays the information to another person who is adjusting the dish antenna. To fine tune the pointing of the dish antenna, you will need to select a satellite on the Source pop-up menu. Then select one or more transponders from that satellite by using the XPONDER pop-up menu. Once the pointing of the dish antenna has been fine tuned to receive a strong signal from Satellite A (101°) and Satellite B (119°), the pointing of the dish antenna at Satellite C (110°) should be correct. Selecting Transponders The XPONDER pop-up menu will display the signal strength from individual transponders on each of the satellites. A transponder is a group of circuits on the satellite that transmits the satellite channels. There are numerous transponders on each satellite; however, not all of the transponders will be in use. All of the transponders on Satellite A will provide some signal strength indication. But not all the transponders on Satellites B and C may be fully utilized at this time. To check the signal strength of individual transponders, first select the satellite using the Source pop-up menu. Then highlighting the Xponder button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the XPONDER pop-up menu. Use the Page 4-6 Setting Up the Satellite Dish Antenna and Terrestrial Inputs ^ and buttons to select different transponders. Observe the signal strengths of the different transponders. Adjust the dish antenna to improve the signal strengths. After fine tuning, highlighting the Done button and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the INSTALLATION screen. Highlighting the Video button and pressing the SELECT key or pressing the EXIT key on the remote control will display the channel last viewed.
