Highlight the DIRECTV Satellite Signal Meter menu item, then
press the SELECT button. 
The DIRECTV Satellite Signal Meter screen appears. 
The signal meter starts checking the satellite signal strength 
immediately. The signal strength (from 0-to-100%) is indicated 
at the bottom of the screen. The DIRECTV Satellite Signal 
Meter screen allows you to check signal strengths from 
different Satellites, and different Transponders. The Satellites 
option applies only to oval-shaped satellite dishes which receive signals from multiple satellites.
On round dishes, the Satellite setting is fixed. Transponders are the equipment on satellites that 
receive the signal from the earth-based program providers and relay it back to earth to your 
satellite dish. Different transponders handle the signals for different TV channels. 
When setting up your satellite dish, you should try to maximize the signal strength across all 
of the satellites and transponders.

To check the signal strength for different satellites (oval dishes only), or different transponders,
use the left- and right-arrow buttons on your remote control to highlight the on-screen Satellite 
or Transponder option, then use the up- and down-arrow buttons to change the setting.
The signal meter updates to show you the signal strength for the new satellite or transponder.
