activate it. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully to initialize it.
Once the process has begun, your old access card will no longer allow viewing. You should not
interrupt the process once it has begun. An interruption could cause both the old and the new card to
become invalid. When the process is complete, your new access card will be usable, while the old card
will no longer be valid.
Satellite
This button only applies for oval dishes that are equipped with LNBs that receive signals from 101°,
119° and possibly 110°. Each time this button is selected, the satellite being monitored for signal
strength will advance.
Transponder #
You may want to try different transponders to troubleshoot satellite signal reception problems. Each
transponder transmits multiple programs at a time. The transponder shown when the screen first
displays represents the one associated with the last viewed program. By moving the highlight to the
transponder area, you can enter a number from 01 to 32. Different transponders may show varying
signal strengths. This is normal unless the variations are extreme (such as 40 and 90). In the event of
signal reception problems, customer service representatives may ask for signal strength on a different
transponder. Do not change transponders trying to find the best signal since the transponder will
automatically change depending on the channel you want to view.
