Getting Antenna Information
The Antenna Info menu helps you assess the availability of available TV channels. It is
useful for checking the strength of digital channels, obtaining all channels possible, and
adjusting any terrestrial TV antennas.
• Press MENU to bring up the main menu, select Assistance, then Antenna Info.
The Antenna Info screen reports the status of the signal search and lists channels that are
being received or have been received from all terrestrial antennas. To switch between
antennas, highlight a channel and then press ANTENNA on the remote control. When
getting antenna information, the screen lists:
• the channel number,
• the station name, if available,
• whether the channel is digital or analog,
• which antenna is receiving the signal, and
• if a digital channel, the current signal strength.
Antenna Info consists of all channels currently being received or that have
been received in the past from terrestrial antennas.
Selecting Dish Type
To specify the type of dish you are using:
1. Press MENU on the remote to bring up the main menu.
2. Select Assistance, then Dish Pointing, then Select Dish.
3. Use the arrows and OK buttons on the remote control to select the type of dish you
are using—either the oval dish or the round dish.
It is important to select
the correct dish type. If
you do not, you will not
receive the proper dish
pointing coordinates and
you will not be able to
take full advantage of
your DIRECTV System.
Note that if you
highlight a channel in
the Antenna Info menu,
you tune to the channel
and, if digital, receive a
real-time update of the
signal strength.
