1) Before disconnecting old unit, position the dish to G9-7 (or G0-7 if your receiver has already downloaded new the new satellite map information). Connect power and dish cables to the new unit. 2) Press <Options 6 4 2> Select actuator and LNB type. Select "standard" feedhorn. 3) Press <go back> 4) Press<3> to get to the east/west limits screen.Press <3> to get to the Program Satellites screen. You may begin programming satellites w/o programming limits. You may then go back and put the limits in once you know where the satellites are. WARNING: Programming satellites without setting the limits may cause damage to the dish, actuator, roof, etc. if your system does not have limit settings properly set at the dish. 6) By using the arrow keys position the yellow cursor over the G9 (or G0) tile. Press <enter>. 7) This is the Satellite Adjustment screen. Channel up to "target" channel of the program you intend to find to identify the satellite you are on. (Channel 3 is a analog clear, easily identifiable channel) 8) Press <2> for dish position control. 9) Use east or west arrows to move the dish until you locate the desired signal. The dish should already be on G9 (or G0) if it was left at the position before installation. If unable to locate G9 (or G0) and only finding opposite format satellites, you must switch the feedhorn setting to rotated 90' in step #2 and begin again. 10) Once you have found the correct "target" channel on the selected satellite, adjust the dish position to maximize quality. 11) Press <4> for Skew Adjust. Adjust the skew to maximize quality. You may choose to use the auto skew feature by pressing <5>. You need to peak skew on both an odd channel and an even channel. The skew settings should be 90 degrees apart (if odd is -30 then even should be +60 for example). 12) Press <go back>and <enter> to save settings. This will put you back on the satellite chart to select the next bird to be programmed in. Do NOT continue yet. Press <view>. Change channel to 7. 13) Press <option>. At the bottom of the screen you should notice the number in the box marked "Channels" increasing. Once the unit has stopped counting (currently there are about 1300 channels) it has completed downloading the channel maps. 14) While you are on G9-7 (or G0-7) , take a moment to call a 4DTV ready Program Provider to get the IPG authorized. They will need the Digital UA# in order to authorize. This # can be found on the same system status screen on line # A. Hit options, then 6, then 5 and read the numbers next to A. 15) Resume programming satellites by pressing <option> and <3>. Select the next satellite until you have programmed the satellites that you desire. We recommend manually programming at least 3 satellites in the middle of the arc and the furthest East and West satellite. After you have done this you can begin using the auto dish positioner. Press<1> instead of <2> as listed in Step 8. This forces the unit to automatically calculate the location of your selection and move the dish for you to its "best guess". 16) When programming the "fringe" satellites or the farthest East/West, make a note to yourself of the dish position. This will allow you to set the limits effortlessly. After installing the satellites press <Go Back> until you come back to the East/West Limit screen. Press <1> to select E limit. Using E/W arrows change the numbers to those that you have noted for the E limit. Press <2> for W limit and do the same thing. Simply set the limits to a few counts above or below the satellite locations for C1 and G6. Press <view> to exit screen. *Special Steps Pertaining to Acquisition of Digital Channels:* 17) Some additional skew adjustments may be necessary to receive digital signals as they are more sensitive to cross polarization. This can be achieved by going to the satellite needing adjustment. Tune to either the 'home' channel or the 'virtual' channel. Press <options 6 4 4> The highlight should be over the current satellite location. Press <enter>. 18) You will notice at the bottom of the screen a box unique to digital channels labeled "Quality". This number must be at least 25 to receive digital video. Play with <2> dish position and <4> skew in small increments to achieve the highest quality. Channel to the opposite polarity if applicable and repeat. Press <go back> and <enter> to save. The opposite polarity on a digital channel is not always the next channel in series, it may be several digital virtual channels higher or lower before the polarities change.
