DOWNLOADING PROGRAMMING TO THE SECOND RECEIVER
After completing the steps on the previous page, reset the second receiver by pressing the
POWER button on the front panel for 10 seconds. The TV picture will go away and should
reappear within two minutes.
The receiver will then download the program guide to show only the channels available on the
current satellite as determined by the channel selected on the main receiver. Downloading the
new program guide can take up to ve minutes to complete.
The channels available on the second receiver are determined by the channel/satellite selected on
the main receiver. For example, if you select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from
the 91 satellite, then the second receiver will be able to view any channel broadcast from the 91
satellite.
If you switch channels on the main receiver to one that is broadcast from the 82 satellite, the antenna
will automatically switch to the 82 satellite and programming will be lost on the second receiver until
you either:
• Select a channel on the main receiver that is broadcast from the 91 satellite.
(or)
• Reset the second receiver by following INITIAL SETUP FOR SECOND RECEIVER
(on previous page) to download the program guide for the 82 satellite.
NOTE: If you choose a channel on the main TV that causes the antenna to switch satellites, you may have to run a
check switch on the second receiver.
