setting. In some cases, the two satellite oval dish
option may not be available. When this happens,
use the three satellite option. Refer to your receiver

To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The DuraSAT
antenna will toggle between the
primary or alternate satellites for either DISH
Network or DIRECTV. Both have programming
on more than one satellite. 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.

1. DIRECTV receivers must be set for oval dish 2
sat selection to enable toggling between primary
101°W satellite and alternate 119°W satellite only.
DuraSAT is not compatible for 110° or KA-band
satellite viewing. (Consult receiver manual for
procedure.) After receiver is set for the correct dish
selection, when you request a channel located
on a different satellite, the unit will automatically
toggle to that satellite.

DISH Network receivers must have the “SW64” switch
installed in order to toggle between the primary 119°
satellite and the alternate satellites. (Consult your re-
ceiver manual for the procedure to reach the “check
switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW64 Switch” is a DISH Network re
-
ceiver setting,
NOT
a physical part.
To install the “SW64” switch:
1. Before turning on your RoadTrip Minimax antenna,
make sure that your satellite receiver and television
are turned on and your receiver is on the “point dish”
menu. (Consult your owner’s manual to reach this
menu.)
2. Turn on the RoadTrip Minimax
system and wait for
the unit to acquire a signal on satellite 119°.
3. You now have six minutes to complete Check Switch
test. Consult your receiver manual for instructions on
running the test. Be sure that Superdish and Alternate
are unchecked if applicable. Onscreen options may
vary by receiver.
4. During the Check Switch Test, the receiver will begin
checking the switch by toggling between satel-
lites. When this is completed, SW64 will appear on the
screen. It will be at the top of the screen, satellite
designations will be below, showing odd and even
transponders. See illustration below.
