7. Press C-SAT and then the letter and number of the satellite that you are wanting to store. It will display some writing on the screen.  See Figure 2 below.

Follow appropriate steps:

A. If you are starting from a satellite with same format, and the picture is coming in behind the writing, skip to step 9.  The picture is not coming in behind the writing, proceed with step 8.

B. If you are starting from a satellite with opposite format, and the picture is coming in behind the writing, proceed with step 8.  The picture is not coming in behind the writing, skip to step 9.

8. Press function then 2 for Change Program. Press 1 for Change Pol/Skew. Press 1 for Format, then tap west one time to switch the format. Press VIEW and then View again. Proceed to step 9.

9. Tap EAST or WEST one tap at a time depending on the direction you need to go until you find the new satellite to be programmed. Stop when you come to any picture or black screen and verify the picture you are receiving. If it is the correct satellite then proceed with step 10. Otherwise continue moving until the satellite is found.

10. If you are on the correct satellite and the writing is still on the screen (Figure 2) then, press ENTER. One of two events will happen.

A.  It will Autotune-when it does it will display Auto Skew and Auto Antenna on the screen. Let it finish. The picture may come and go and the receiver will “click” when it does the Auto Antenna. Go to step 11 when it is done.

11. Press VIEW and check that the name of the satellite comes up on the screen and that the picture is correct.

- If all is OK, then go to step 12.

- If it does not display the satellite name, then the memory is full and a satellite needs to be erased. See Erasing A Satellite.

- If the picture is gone then it probably autotuned off of the satellite. See Turning Off the Auto Tuning.

12. ****This is a very important step**** Press function, 4 for Receiver Mode, 1 for Auto and then ENTER. This puts the receiver in “auto mode”, which it should always be in, if you are not programming satellites.

13. This completes the programming process.
