To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming— The MV3500T will toggle between the primary and seconday satellites for either DISH Network or DIRECTV. Both have programming on more than one satelite. When a channel is selected on the remote control and is not on the satellite currently selected, the unit will automatically toggle to the correct satellite. If a switch other than SW42 appears, or you have an X in one of the boxes below the satellites, repeat Check Switch Steps.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM SOLUTION The MV3500T does not attempt to find a satellite or 1. Check your Power switch to verify that it is in the ON position. it never moves. 2. Check +12 V wires at unit to verify power. Check fuse on electronics. The dish never stops on any of the signals that it sees. 1. Make sure that your receiver is set up correctly. For DISH Network, the check switch should read either “Unknown” or “SW42”. For DirecTV the receiver should be set for a Two Satellite Oval Dish.
