This is a home base problem. Directv. I have a separate dish for the local channels. Lately it's been losing it's signal at different times of the day (clear days). At first it looked like an issue at their end.
Now I want to fuss with the pointing just to be sure before calling in. Finally, to the question.

I don't see on the on screen menu how to focus on the local channel dish and bring up the signal generator. All I see is my 101 sat. Is there a trick to this or am I just blind?
D10 receivers. Not HD, if that makes any difference.
Thanks

When you get to the 101 signal window.
Have you clicked on the + sign in the 101 box on the right?
That may change it to the next satellite.

You separate dish for local could be on the 72.5
