Note: In order for the Advanced Program Guide™ to receive the correct
listing of local channels and local program information from DIRECTV,
make sure you select the correct zip code, cable provider (if connecting a cable
TV service) and Area (if using a terrestrial antenna). Refer to Chapter 4,
“Setting Up the Satellite Dish Antenna and Terrestrial Inputs.”
Using both the IN FROM ANT connector and the SATELLITE connector
with a diplexer, you may connect one antenna and one cable TV service cable
at the same time, however this HD receiver and the Advanced Program
Guide™ cannot support two antennas connected or cable TV service
connected in two places at the same time.
