How to Troubleshoot Repeat Satellite Setup for DirecTV
The Repeat Satellite Setup troubleshooting procedure in a DirecTV satellite receiver can re-establish service if you can't tune to programs in your subscription package or they are missing from the on-screen Guide. If you installed the dish yourself, you also use the procedure to establish initial service. Use the remote control to enter the Repeat Satellite Setup procedure and follow the on-screen instructions to enter the proper information for your system. If the procedure doesn't solve the problem, you can perform an overall system test procedure.
