default setup

Good Morning

How to I set a specific setup as default? It is a pain to have to go thru setup every time I put my older receiver, 24, in the rv. I set it to 18" round and when the power is restored it automatically goes back to the 3lnb which is the house. I would like it to stay on the rv dish setup.

Thank You

I'm not aware of any way to do that.

I suspect the full model is HR24. The 18" round would be MPEG-2/SD-only. As the HR24 is an HDDVR it defaults to the optimum setup it was designed for so there is no option to change default start up.

And since DirecTV has been phasing out their MPEG-2/SD-only feeds, I would consider preparing in the future for a MEPG-4 dish in the RV. Either a slimline SWM dish on a tripod/sled mount or the Winegard Trav'ler.

All DTV receivers auto detect a SWM system and switch to it.  The round dish will still receive the MPEG4 channels from the 101 sat.
