The information shown in below is one of the subsections available on the Advanced Edit page.
Figure 35 – “Direct Tune” Interface on Advanced Edit page
This section gives you a method to force a tuner to a particular satellite and transponder pair.
This ability can especially useful when attempting to track and isolate RF problems with the
COM2000 system. The data required to perform this operation can be gathered from the basic
“Tune” interface shown in above. A brief explanation of each field follows.
Tuner_Index – This field allows you to direct an individual tuner to tune to a specific network
ID and Frequency_Index.
Network_ID – This field displays the DIRECTV network of the currently tuned channel. This
number correlates to a specific satellite, and can be used in conjunction with the
“Frequency_Index” field below to determine whether the card is locked to the correct channel
version (as of this version of the manual, all SD content resides on Network 0, and the HD
content is spread across Networks 10 and 15).
Frequency_Index – This field displays the DIRECTV frequency index of the currently tuned
channel. This number correlates to a specific transponder, and can be used in conjunction with
the “Network_ID” field above to determine whether the card is locked to the correct channel.
