Locking the DCI401MCS
Once the DCI401MCS is tuned to the correct channel for each TV or zone, it is good practice
to lock the device so that it cannot accidentally change to a different channel or power off.
From the DCI401MCS Command Set Primer, this can be done with the following command.
Editing Channels
Once you’ve configured the TVs, you can edit how and which channels are displayed in the
programming list. By default, all the DIRECTV channels are displayed once Mediatune is
installed. After you enter setup and select “Edit Channels” will the interface save and
display only the channels you’ve selected. Hint: Editing channels requires paging though
several screens and is best completed on a PC running the Chrome browser.
Selecting Local Channels
All local channels are shown in a list which may also include channels from other markets
than the ones displayed. You must carefully browse through this list and select to display
the correct channels corresponding to the correct HD channel. You may also see channels
for local content via an antenna—these need to be ignored as they do not carry any
programming. All valid DIRECTV local channels will have a .65535 after the channel number.
As an example, in Indianapolis, Fox is channel 59, so in the DIRECTV guide, channel 59.65535
WXIN-HD would be the correct HD version of the local Fox affiliate.
