HOW TO GET WNEP2 ON YOUR SATELLITE RECEIVER
Do you have DirecTV or the Dish Network? You can add WNEP2 to your program guide for no monthly fee.
For DirecTV
You will first need to connect an antenna to the "off-air in" jack on the back of the DirecTV HD receiver, if it has one. On December 5, 2009, WNEP launched a more powerful signal, so an amplified indoor antenna may be all you need.
If the DirecTV receiver does not have an external antenna jack, you can purchase an accessory (an AM21 box) from DirecTV that will add local over the air channels.
Then, from your remote, go to the system set-up menu and find "scan for local channels," and WNEP2 will be automatically added to your program listings.
If you don't know what type of DirecTV receiver you have, calling DirecTV may be the best solution. They will know what equipment you have now, and advise you on how to do the setup. They may also upgrade your equipment for free. Ask for "Customer Service" then "Technical Support" and tell them you want to add your local secondary digital channels to your lineup. To contact DirecTV, call 1-800-DIRECTV.
For Dish Network
First, you need to verify that you have an antenna jack on your Dish Network receiver. It's probably on the left side of the back of the receiver. Attach an off-air antenna to the antenna "in" connector and then with your remote, go to menu, system setup, local channels, scan locals. WNEP2 will be added to your channel lineup after you've completed. Also, you'll need to have subscribed to "locals" in your package. You can go to dishnetwork.com to download instructions, or contact them at 1-888-825-2557.
Amplified Antennas
Because WNEP switched to a more powerful over the air signal on December 5, most homes in northeastern and central PA should get WNEP and WNEP2 with an indoor antenna. Our research shows that the best antennas are ones that are "amplified."
