If you want to upgrade your existing DIRECTV satellite receiver to a Slimline to receive HD television, call 1-800-531-5000 and say “order new equipment. " You should be routed to an appropriate contact. Installing the upgraded satellite receiver is free if you already have a H20 or HR20 model of a DIRECTV HD receiver.
Connect 1 end of a coaxial cable to the satellite receiver through the jack labeled “OUT TO TV. " Connect the other end to the antenna’s “IN” jack on the television. Connect both the television and satellite receiver to a power outlet. Turn them both on. View the receiver’s menu by tuning the television to channel number 3 or 4 if the back of the receiver has a “CH 3/CH 4” switch. If there is no switch, turn to UHF channel 14 or channel number 65 on cable. Navigate the menu using buttons on the receiver’s front panel and the receiver’s manual to find the correct azimuth (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) coordinates.
