Sat Select Modes

In Automatic mode, the antenna automatically 
switches between a pair of satellites as the user 
changes channels on the receiver’s remote. The 
user sets the MCP to automatically switch 
between either 101-110 or 101-119 (see Figure 44). 

In Manual mode, the user presses a button on the 
MCP whenever he/she wishes to switch 
satellites. The user can select between 101, 110, 
and 119 (see Figure 45).

Educate the Customer About HDTV

• Make sure the DIRECTV HD receiver is set 

up for an “Oval, 3 LNB” dish (antenna) type, 

so that the receiver can decode channels from 

three DIRECTV satellites. Refer to the 

receiver’s user manual for details.

• The HD receiver will only be able to decode 

HD channels if it is activated. High-definition 

channels are not included with the basic 

DIRECTV package, and premium HD 

channels, such as HBO HD, must be ordered 

separately. KVH makes activation easy. Just 

call KVH’s Activation Department at 

1-888-584-4163 (Mon.-Fri., 8:30 am - 5 pm ET).

• KVH provides a list of HD channels, and the 

DIRECTV satellites that carry them, at 

changes its channel lineups frequently, KVH 

can e-mail updates to you whenever the HD 

lineup changes. Register for this free service 

when you visit the website for the first time.

• On startup, the receiver needs to download 

the Program Guide from the 101 satellite. Be 

sure the antenna is tracking the 101 satellite 

whenever you reboot the receiver. 

• Please be patient during the Program Guide 

download. It may take more than 20 minutes 

for the receiver to download the entire 

Program Guide, which lists channels 

available on every DIRECTV satellite. A 

channel is selectable only if it is loaded in the 

Program Guide.
