Satellite Settings Options under Satellite Settings affect the basic functioning of the DVR. Most of these settings were established before or during Guided Setup, and you may not ever need to change them. Repeat Guided Setup. After selecting this, you need to enter a safety code (press THUMBS DOWN three times, then press ENTER). This option lets you repeat Satellite Dish Guided Setup. For more information, see page 21. Test Satellite Signal Strength. This screen shows approximate pointing information for your satellite dish antenna. You can also use this screen to check the strength of the signal received from each transponder on a selected satellite dish antenna. It shows you the signal strength from individual transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all of 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. Different channels are rebroadcast by different transponders, and different satellites have different numbers of transponders. You can check signal strength while you adjust the pointing of your satellite dish antenna. The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback-a tone that becomes higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume on your TV up so you can hear the tone while you adjust the position of your satellite dish antenna. Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and then reporting through a cell phone or walkie-talkie to the person who is adjusting the satellite dish antenna.

A transponder is a piece of radio equipment on a satellite. The DIRECTV transponders

Different channels are rebroadcast by different transponders, and different satellites have
different numbers of transponders.
You can check signal strength while you adjust the pointing of your satellite dish antenna.
The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback—a tone that becomes
higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume on your TV
up so you can hear the tone while you adjust the position of your satellite dish antenna.
Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and then
