To set your Winegard TV antenna for a new provider, remove the dome and set the switches to the correct provider. Refer to page 3 for switch settings.
Why Winegard RT4000T TV Antenna does not move?
If your Winegard TV antenna doesn't attempt to find a satellite or never moves, verify that the power source is providing +12VDC to the antenna. Also, ensure that the quick disconnect power connector is fully seated and locked into the quick disconnect socket.
What to do if my Winegard RT4000T TV Antenna receiver is locked up?
If your receiver seems frozen and isn't responding, DIRECTV users can reboot by pressing the red reset button inside the small door on the receiver, or unplug the receiver from the AC outlet for 20 seconds and plug it back in. DISH users can reboot by pressing and holding the power button on the receiver for 15 seconds and then releasing it, or unplugging the receiver from the AC outlet for 20 seconds and plugging it back in.
Why Winegard RT4000T TV Antenna locks on signal but no picture?
If your Winegard TV antenna appears to lock onto a signal, but your receiver isn't showing a picture or signal reading, first check that the switch settings are correct for your provider. DIRECTV users should ensure the antenna type is set to either 3 LNB “18X20” or 2 LNB oval. DISH users should verify the “Check Switch” is set to SW64, and Bell users should verify it's set to SW42. Note that a new receiver might initially show an “Unknown Check Switch”, but the antenna will still search, though it won't toggle to alternate satellites.
