AUTOMATIC SATELLITE SWITCHING
1. Simply choose your desired channel using the receiver’s remote control. The Sea-King will
automatically switch to the appropriate satellite.
DIRECTV: If you select an HD channel and the picture does not appear, the channel is
located on an alternate satellite. Press the button to select the alternate pair of satellites.
See page 23 for details.
DISH Network HD: If you are unable to receive all of your HD programming, you will need to
switch satellite trios. See page 25, DISH 1000/1000a FOR DISH NETWORK HDTV for trio
information, and follow the instructions on page 20.
DIRECTV: Before using the automatic switching feature, you must configure the Sea-king and your receiver for your
desired option. For switching options see pages 22-23.
DISH Network - Bell TV: Before using the automatic switching feature, you must configure the Sea-King and your
receiver for your desired option. For switching options see page 25.
Your receiver may have already been configured for automatic satellite switching by the
installer. You can determine this by looking at the Check Switch Installation Summary
screen in your receiver, or call the King Controls Service Department at [phone].
Note: For better performance when using the automatic satellite switching feature, change channels by selecting your
program from the channel guide rather than channel surfing.
It is common for the picture to pixel or display an error message when the antenna is switching between
satellites, or the signal has been temporarily blocked. PLEASE BE PATIENT. THE PICTURE WILL RETURN.
If an error message appears for an extended period, selecting CANCEL may help clear the message
more quickly.
