12. Verify reception from both satellites. Select the Check Switch
option.When the Check Switch menu opens, select Check.The
receiver shows you a message that it is checking the switches. When
the procedure is finished, you will see an Installation Summary
screen similar to the one shown below. Confirm that you have
signals from both the 110 West and 119 West Satellites, that
you see “All” twice in the Transponder line, and that the message
“Satellite reception verified” is displayed. Select Cancel to exit this
menu.
13. If you do not see “110,” under Dish Input 2:
• Make sure the skew angle you wrote down on page 65 is exactly
the same as the skew angle you set in step #5 on page 65. If it is
not, reset the skew angle as described on page 66. After you reset
the skew angle, go back to page 70, and start over from step #10.
• If “119” is shown under Dish Input 2, move the dish
approximately 9
o
to the east and restart the procedure at step #6.
14. Look at the Point Dish/Signal menu. If you have good signal
strength with the check mark in 119 West, move the check mark to
110 West. If you have good signal strength on 110 West,goto
step #15. If you do not have good signal strength with the check mark
in 110 West, repeat Step #12, and fine-tune the dish but with the
check mark in 110 West instead of 119 West. While the 110 West
and 119 West signals will not be equal, you should be able to fine-
tune the dish until you have the strongest possible signal from both
satellites. When you have finished this, select Check Switch.When
the Check Switch menu opens, select Check to run Check

If the answer is No, you will need to repoint your dish following the
preceding steps until the mounting and positioning is complete and
you do have the “Locked” indication.
16. After you select Yes, the receiver will begin taking a software
upgrade. You will see a Warning that “Vital program information
will now be downloaded into your receiver.” You will also see a
status bar showing the progress of this upgrade.
