Setting Up Your DIRECTV ® Sat-Go
Set Up Checklist
If the signal is not found, check the following to be sure the TV and antenna set-up have been
properly followed:
• Verify all cable connections are correct and each connection is seated properly.
• Inspect the inside of each cable connector for dirt or damage to connector case/shield
causing a possible short.
• Verify the antenna Direction and Angle coordinates for your location by ZIP code.
• Make sure there are no obstructions (trees, buildings, windows, corner or roof overhang,
including your body or hands) – the signal does not pass through leaves, branches, glass,
etc.
• Make sure the access card from your receiver is fully inserted into the access card slot and
oriented correctly.
• Verify the antenna cable:
- Using the 15’ cable (provided), connect the antenna and receiver
- To place the TV and Receiver more than 15’ from the antenna RG-6 cable is
highly recommended. Use of an RG-59 cable is not recommended and may cause
performance problems.
• Some after-market, off-the shelf add-on components may not be as advertised. They might
not work or could cause additional DC drops and signal amplitude attenuation. Remove
such components, go back to the basic connections described in this manual and re-verify.
• If you’ve verifi ed the above checklist items and the signal is still not found, change the
Angle adjustment of the antenna slightly (+/-2 degrees, then +/- 4 degrees from the called-
for coordinate setting) and repeat the antenna alignment procedure.
