Satellite Dish Antenna Connection
Connect the cable coming from the DIRECTV PLUS™ satellite dish to the Satellite In
jack on the HDTV Digital Receiver.
Note:
The shape of your satellite dish antenna determines what type of programming that
your antenna can receive. If you have an oval shaped dish, you can receive
programming from DIRECTV Satellites plus some local channels in certain areas.
Note:
Consult your dealer on Satellite dish installation and options.
Antenna Installation and Orientation
In many areas, an indoor antenna can be used to received DTV signals. Certain conditions,
however, may create a situation where an outdoor antenna is required. Tall buildings, large
metal objects (e.g., a water tower) or hills may block the line-of-sight to the TV station and
interfere with DTV signal reception. Keep the following in mind when installing and orienting
your outdoor antenna. For additional information about antennas, see the Consumer
Electronics Manufacturing Association (CEMA) website at www.AntennaWeb.org or ask
your local dealer.
r
Choose an antenna with directional receiving characteristics such as a Yagi, log periodic,
or reflector antenna. Avoid loop, wire bowtie, rabbit-ear and omni-directional antennas.
