Receiving Local “Off-Air” Broadcast Channels
The DIRECTV HD Receiver can tune to both satellite and locally transmitted, off-air
broadcast HD channels, and will display these local channels in the Guide. In order to receive
off-air channels, attach an off-air antenna to the OFF-AIR IN as instructed in the “Getting
Connected” section (page 28). During the Guided Setup process, be sure to select the Satellite
& Antenna button when you reach the Satellite Dish & Off-Air Antenna screen and follow the
on-screen instructions.
If you didn’t setup an off-air antenna during the guided setup, you must enter your location
into the receiver using the Local Network Area screens in order to receive Program Guide
information for local off-air broadcast channels. When you enter your ZIP code, if there is
more than one network area available, your receiver will show your options. Pick the one
closest to you as your primary network area. In some cases, there may be more than two cities
displayed. You may decide to also enter a secondary local network if more than one is available
to you, but this is optional.
To scan for off-air channels and set up the local network areas after Guided Setup, do the
following:
1. Press MENU.
2. Press SELECT on Settings in the Quick Menu.
3. Select Setup in the Quick Menu.
4. Select Sat & Ant from the options on the left menu.
5. Press SELECT on the Antenna Setup button. If you have not selected your local networks
yet, select the Local Networks button and follow the instructions until you are done.
6. Select the Scan for Channels button to have the receiver scan local off-air frequencies.
When the receiver has finished scanning for channels, you are given the chance to edit local
off-air channels to remove channels from the Guide that you don’t watch, or those that have
poor reception.
