Scan Channels
This option will automatically scan through all of the
possible channel frequencies and place the active
channel numbers into the program guide grid. NTSC
(analog) channels will be listed by their normal one or
two Channel Number. ATSC channels will be listed by
their one or two digit main channel number followed by
a hyphen and a number of 1 or greater. At this time, the
program information for local NTSC and ATSC
channels that is shown on the program guide will
simply display “Regular Schedule.” To receive accurate
program information for these channels, you need to
connect to a satellite dish and download this
information from DIRECTV.
Selecting the Correct Satellite Dish Type for Terrestrial-only
Operation
If you have a terrestrial-only antenna hookup (that is, no satellite dish), you must configure the
HD receiver for a dish type of “None” so it will not search for a satellite signal.

on the remote control will display the DISH SETUP screen.
Highlighting the Dish Type button on the DISH SETUP screen and pressing the key on the
remote control will display the DISH TYPE pop-up menu. Using the and keys, highlight dish
type “None” and press the key.
Editing Local Channels
To remove or add local NTSC analog and ATSC digital channels in the channel list, use the and
keys to highlight the specific channel. Press to remove the checkmark and the channel
from the channel list. Press again to add it back.
Time Setup
You can set the current time and day, the current date,
the time zone, and whether or not you observe daylight
saving time. This option is only available if you have
selected NONE as your DISH TYPE.
Use the and buttons to move around the TIME
SETUP screen, then press SELECT to select an item,
and you can use your remote control to enter numbers.
When you subscribe to DIRECTV, the time will be
automatically set and you cannot reset it. You can,
however, reset the time zone and whether you observe
daylight saving time.
Installation Is Now Complete
The installation and testing of the satellite dish antenna and/or terrestrial inputs is now complete.
You are ready to enjoy your system.
