Options under Recorder & Phone Setup affect the basic functioning of the DVR. Most of 
these settings were established before or during Guided Setup, and you may not ever need 
to change them.

If you have a loss of signal and wish to diagnose the problem, or you need to re-point your 
satellite dish antenna, or if you add additional equipment, you can select “Satellite Dish 
Setup” to reconfigure your satellite dish antenna setup.

. This screen shows approximate pointing information for your 

satellite dish antenna. You can also use this screen to check the strength of the signal 
received from each transponder on a selected satellite dish antenna. It shows you the 
signal strength from individual transponders one at a time. To be sure you receive all of 
your channels, you should check signal strength on all transponders. 

A transponder is a piece of radio equipment on a satellite. The DIRECTV transponders 
receive information from DIRECTV and rebroadcast it to your satellite dish antenna. 
Different channels are rebroadcast by different transponders, and different satellites have 
different numbers of transponders.

Note: You can check signal strength while you adjust the pointing of your satellite dish 
antenna. The signal strength meter on this screen provides audio feedback—a tone that 
becomes higher pitched as the signal gets stronger. You may be able to turn the volume on 
your TV up so you can hear the tone while you adjust the position of your satellite dish 
antenna. Alternatively, you might have someone watching the signal strength meter and
