When using a satellite receiver there is a small card you insert into the front of the satellite receiver to program
the software on the device. Although the software is typically going to run fine on the receiver, you may want to update
the software if you ever obtain a DVR or change your programming. In order to change the software on the receiver you need
to switch out the receiver card.

1
Contact your satellite provider and ask for an updated satellite receiver card.
The company can mail you this at no expense, or you can stop by the facility and pick one up.

2
Remove the satellite receiver card from the front of the receiver.
Push the receiver card in and it pops out.

3
Slide in the new satellite receiver card.

4
Power off the satellite receiver, leave it off for a few minutes,
then power it back on. Once on, the receiver is going to detect the updated card and run a scan on it.
This scan takes several minutes to complete. When it is done it returns you to your normal programming with the

upgraded software installed.

programming from the connected satellite dish and includes a remote control. The remote control enables you to program outside

 hardware, such as a television, giving you the option of using a single remote to control two devices.

1
Open the user's manual that came with the Hughes satellite receiver. Inside is a list of programming codes. Look through the list of codes until you

find one listed next

to your television brand.

2
Power on the television, then push the "Mode" switch on the remote control to "TV.'

3
Push down and hold the "Mute" and "Select" button until the LED light on the fromt of the remote flashes twice.

 Then remove your fingers from the buttons.

The two integral components involved in satellite installation are the dish and the receiver.
 Even once the satellite dish is mounted correctly to a flush surface,
 there is still much to do to have the satellite receiver correctly programmed and the dish
pointing in the exact direction necessary for such programming.
 With some tweaks and patience, however, your satellite receiver will be set up and programmed in a minimal amount of time.

1
Ensure that the installed satellite dish is pointed to the southern sky correctly. The southern sky is where the satellite that beams your information will be located. It will not be possible to program the satellite receiver if the satellite is not pointed in this direction.

2
Plug the receiver directly into the power supply (the wall outlet or the surge protector). Make the connection between your television and the receiver. To do so, use the RCA connectors.
These connectors are three prongs from a wire,
and each prong is either red, white or yellow. Three color-coded locations that correspond to the RCA connectors will be located on either the back and/or side of your television.

3
Run the coaxial cable to the receiver from the satellite dish. Make sure the coaxial cable goes into the "Satellite In" connection in the back of the receiver. Keep in mind that this must be a direct connection.
 Splitters cannot be used on this wire as the signal will be diminished as a result.

4
Make sure your TV is powered on and then proceed to identify the correct video input. This input will correspond to how

 your receiver is plugged into your TV. In this case, it will be an AV connection, usually either AV1 or AV2,
although this will depend on your set. You will see a satellite display from your company when the correct input is selected.

5
Press the "Menu" button on this satellite setup display and then hit "Setup". This will give you the opportunity to program your satellite receiver.

6
Adjust the satellite dish so that the Signal Meter Screen (which should have appeared on your television screen by now) gets
the strongest signal possible. This entails making slight adjustments every 15 seconds to the elevation and azimuth (up-down and left-right, respectively)

of your dish. Once the dish is correctly aligned,
the receiver will put check marks on the TV display beside each necessary adjustment that has successfully been made. If there are any Xs on the screen,

 the satellite receiver has not been programmed because the dish is out

 of place. Keep making adjustments until the Signal Meter gives the all clear.
