Signal Strength
Depending on the Dish Type that is selected, the Signal Strength menu shows you up to three signal
strength bars for Satellite Networks A, B, and C, in order to help you adjust the dish to the correct
position with the elevation, azimuth, and tilt values obtained from the Your Location menu. While the
maximum signal strength is 100, there will be no apparent difference in picture quality between signal
strengths of 60 to 85. The higher the signal, the less likely you are to experience picture quality degra-
dation during adverse weather conditions such as heavy rain or snow.
A transponder is a receiver/transmitter on the satellite. It receives signals from DIRECTV and retrans-
mits them to your dish. The DIRECTV ® HD Receiver is capable of displaying the signal strength of most
transponders by using the following method.
To see the dish setup status:
1. Press the MENU button on the Remote Control to display the on-screen menu.
2. Select the DIRECTV ® menu by pressing “ ” on the remote control.
3. Scroll down to Initial Setup menu using “ E ”.
4. Move the highlight to the right with “ G ” to select Signal Strength.
5. When the highlight is on the Signal Strength, press “ ”. The signal strength dialogue box will be
displayed.
6. Move the highlight to select the desired transponder and satellite.
7. Press “ F ” to return to previous menu.
NOTE
Depending on your location in the United States, certain transpon-
ders may not be available. It is normal for the signal strength level of
a few transponders to be at zero.
