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. The "physical" Channel The INSTALLATION screen Number is the channel number that the FCC uses to identify the channel frequency, and it is a one-digit or two-digit number. The "virtual" Channel Number is the number that a local broadcast station wishes to use to identify itself. For instance, if the number for your local CBS analog channel is 2 (Channel 2), then that station may use 2-1 as a digital "virtual" Channel Number, even though the "physical" number assigned by the FCC to that channel is 40. To test the strength of terrestrial digital channel signals, highlighting the Source button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the SOURCE pop-up menu. Using the L and keys to highlight the Local Digital button on the popup menu and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the LOCAL DIGITAL Signal Strength Screen. Use the L and keys on the remote control to move to the column on the left and use the L and to highlight the Channel button. Press the SELECT key on the remote control to display the CHANNEL pop-up menu. If you know the "physical" numbers for your local channels, use the number buttons on the remote control to select each channel number, and observe the signal strength. If you do not know these "physical" channel numbers, use the L and keys on the remote control to change the channel one number at a time. Channels with a signal strength of less than 60 may require a better antenna, adjustment of the antenna angle, or the antenna may be too far away from the signal source.

Highlighting the Video button and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the channel last viewed. [. . . ] Make sure you have left the VCR turned on and set to the input that matches the output from your HD receiver (RF channel 3 or 4 or A/V Audio left and right with video or S-video). Also make sure your HD receiver is in SD output mode. Make sure you select PreSelectTM of the program was for recording and not viewing. Make sure the program is authorized for recording and not listed as "can't tape. " I picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound. [. . . ]
