It is also important that the receiver’s settings for Antenna
Alternatives 1 and 2 match the MCU’s installed satellite settings
as follows:
•
Antenna Alternative 1 = Satellite A
•
Antenna Alternative 2 = Satellite B
Section 2.7, “Installing Satellites Using the MCU,” on page 42
provides details on the satellite installation process.
Programming DSS Plus receivers
If you are using multiple DSS Plus receivers and intend to shift
from one satellite to another, only one of the receivers can be
configured as a two-satellite receiver. All other receivers must be
configured as one-satellite receivers. The two-satellite receiver
will determine which satellite the antenna is tracking while the
other receivers can watch any channels available via that satellite.
Refer to your receiver owner’s manual for complete details on
this process.
If you use an active multiswitch to
connect three or more receivers,
the multiswitch will interfere with the
22 KHz tone sent by DIRECTV
DSS Plus
™
receivers to the
antenna. As a result, the antenna
will not receive the signal to change
satellites when you change
channels using your DIRECTV DSS
Plus remote. You will need to use
the MCU buttons to change
satellites.
