4 RECEIVER CONFIGURATION DIRECTV RECEIVER CONFIGURATION 1. In the receiver’s satellite set-up menu screens, change the switch and dish type settings to: DIRECTV SD Switch Type: 02:Multiswitch • Dish Type: 01: 18” Round Older receivers: choose round dish-1 satellite DIRECTV SD with Locals Switch Type: 02:Multiswitch • Dish Type: 02: 3-LNB (18 x 20”) Older receivers: choose oval dish-2 satellites If your receiver does not offer one of these settings, call KING at (952) 9226889 ext. 173 for assistance.
DISH AND BELL TV RECEIVER CONFIGURATION DISH only: For automatic satellite switching, KING recommends using a DISH model 311 receiver for DISH SD. For DISH HD and SD, you can use receiver models ViP211z, ViP211k, ViP211, and 411, but we highly recommend using Tailgater mode with these receivers for simplified operation with the receiver’s built in Tailgater interface (see section 3 to choose Tailgater Mode).
4. On the receiver remote, press MENU, 6, 1, 1. 5. Highlight “Check Switch.” Press SELECT on your remote. Screen graphics may vary. NOTE: Some receivers may prompt you to select “Check Switch” a second time to initiate the test. 6. Make sure “SuperDISH” and “Alternate” boxes are NOT selected. Not all receivers will display a screen with options that include “SuperDISH” and “Alternate” boxes. 7. Highlight “Test.” Press SELECT on your remote. The receiver will perform a check switch test.
