Using the On-Screen Signal Meter
The signal strength meter is used to determine whether or not you are
receiving the satellite signal; it also indicates the strength of the satellite
signal.

signal.
Follow these steps to bring up the on-screen signal meter:
1.
Turn on your television and satellite receiver.
2.
Tune your television to the satellite receiver’s output channel.
3.
Press MENU on the remote to bring up the Main menu.
4.
Use the arrows to highlight Dish Pointing, and then press OK to access
the dish pointing screen.

press OK.
If the dish is pointed to the correct azimuth and
elevation, the signal meter will show you the current
signal strength (and you should hear a continuous
tone).

If you are not receiving a signal, you need to incrementally adjust the
azimuth setting on the dish. After you receive a signal, you will want to
continue to adjust the azimuth to try to get the best possible signal.

Important
Changing transponders is not the same as fine-tuning the dish. Although
the signal strength may appear to change, this may be due to different
types of interference. To fine-tune the dish, consult the Installation Guide
and follow the instructions on adjusting the dish elevation and azimuth.

While the maximum signal strength
is 100, the signal strength you
achieve will probably be less.
Although there is no difference in
picture quality between signal
strengths of 60 and 85, the higher
the signal, the less likely you are to
experience negative effects in
degraded conditions such as rain or
snow (called “rain fade”).

Peak Signal
The “Peak Signal” indicates the
highest signal strength you have
obtained, which is not necessarily
the highest possible signal.
