Q Can I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?
A There are three ways to receive local programming:
1. If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and have the proper
satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECT TV to arrange for the necessary subscription package.
2. Install a traditional antenna (i.e., roof mounted, rabbit ears).
3. Arrange for basic or “lifeline” cable TV service from your local cable company.
If you select item 1 above, your local programming appears in the program guide like any other
channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the local signal to the IN FROM ANTENNA jack on the back of
your digital satellite receiver. Use the INPUT key to switch between DIRECT TV
®
programming
and local programming provided on the OUT TO TV connector.
Q If I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced, who should I call?
A For issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care Center directly at 1-800-
274-8995, or if you prefer, call your dealer first. They are most familiar with your installation and
needs. Also, they are likely to be local to you.
If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels, contact DIRECT TV at
1-800-531-5000.
Q I think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape back nothing was there.
What could be wrong?
A There are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was programmed correctly
and left turned on and the input matches the output from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that
you were authorized to tape the chosen program.
Q Why do I need to connect the satellite receiver to a telephone line?
A The telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver to report purchase activity to
DIRECT TV.
Q I picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing sound. Why?
A Your digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that may have occurred. This
rarely happens and only lasts for a minute or so.
Q What if my question isn’t listed here?
A Call your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995. We will do our very best to
answer your questions.
