DIRECTV must be set to the “two” satellite, oval dish
setting. In some cases, the two satellite option may
not be available. When this happens, use the three
satellite option. Refer to your receiver manual for
more information.
To toggle between satellites when subscribing to multi-satellite programming—
The RoadTrip
®
Minimax
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.
DIRECTV
®
programming

Minimax 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
®
programming (DISH 500)
DISH Network receivers must have the “SW64”
switch installed in order to toggle between the pri-
mary 119° satellite and the alternate 110° satellite.
(Consult your receiver manual for the procedure
to reach the “check switch” menu.)
NOTE: This “SW64 Switch” is a DISH Network
receiver 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 satellites. 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.
NOTE: Be sure the “Superdish” and
“Alternate” boxes are NOT checked.
