Welcome to the Annenberg Channel! We distribute programming Monday through Thursday and Saturday from 10:00 am - 10:00 pm, ET, on SES Americom's AMC-3 (GE-3) K23 (H) located at 87 degrees WL. The feed is Digicipher II, using "Virtual Channel Map" #15 and channel 514.

If you have not contacted the Channel to authorize your DSR, do so now. Call 1-800-228-8030, Extension 2, with the serial number and the unit address number. You will be notified when the process is complete. If you have a DSR 4200 or 4200C, proceed as follows. Separate instructions are available to tune in a DSR-4200V. If you have other models, contact us.

2. Make any additional Audio/Video/TV connections, then plug in the AC cord.

3. Using the Chaparral receiver (or other antenna controller), move to satellite GE3 and optimize reception. Ensure the antenna feed polarity is in the "horizontal" downlink.
