A LINEAR antenna is supplied with your receiver. Alternatively, you may use a WorldSpace
CIRCULAR antenna, or a LINEAR Yagi antenna with 2.3 volts LNA (Low Noise Amplifier).
You may also have an in-house CABLE-connected outdoor antenna. Optional a n t e n n a s ,
L NAs and in-house installation are available separa t e l y. When changing antennas you will
need to select the appropriate antenna mode: LINEAR, CIRCULAR, or CABLE.
