Setting Up Your DIRECTV ® Sat-Go
This section describes how to set up the DIRECTV Sat-Go TV and antenna. Select the most
appropriate procedure depending on your requirements.
Finding a Suitable Antenna Site
When selecting a site to obtain a satellite signal, choose a location with an unobstructed view of
the southern sky--no trees, leaves, or buildings can be in the line of sight between the antenna
and the satellite. A suitable site requires the antenna have an unobstructed view of the southern
sky and a fl at, stable surface.
The satellite is always located south of Texas. This means if you live in Miami, you must have a
clear line of sight to the southwest; if you live in San Francisco, you must have a clear line to the
southeast.
Depending on where you live, the antenna should be at an elevation angle between 30 and 60
degrees. Southern states point more toward 60 degrees; northern states point more toward 30
degrees.
Sat A, 101 o
TIP: The antenna case has an integrated compass to help you obtain the correct
direction and angle based on your location.
