Your receiver went into a standby mode or has
been turned off. Press the SELECT button on
your remote control to bring back programming.
Check to make sure your TV (and if connected,
your VCR) is tuned to the correct channel.
Refer to the "Watching Your Satellite
Programs" section in this guide for correct
channel setup or use the Recover button.
These channels are not available in your
current subscription. If you would like these
channels, visit www.dishnetwork.com.
You may have a Favorites List active that does
not include those channels. Repeatedly press
the Guide button and toggle through the
Favorites Lists until you find a list that contains
those channels. Also check to see if some
channels are locked (see
User's Guide
).
Try pressing the SAT Mode button.
Check to make sure you are using the correct
remote (TV1 or TV2) for the desired location.
Your remote control batteries may need to be
replaced.
Check the remote address (see
User's Guide
).
You may have a neighbor that also has a UHF
remote and their remote may be controlling your
receiver. This is easily corrected by changing
your remote control address. See your
User's
Guide
for details on how to do this.
Your receiver needs to take a download each
night to get the most current program
information. Press the Power button on both
remotes to turn the receiver off and wait about
20 minutes for the download to occur.
Check to see if there are any obstructions in
front of your satellite dish. Sometimes new tree
or plant growth can obstruct the signal between
the satellite and the dish. If you are experiencing
frequent signal interruptions, please contact
DISH Network.
Keeping your phone line connected enables you
to take advantage of interactive TV services,
Customer Support Application, or Caller ID
applications. It will also allow you to use your
remote control to order Pay-Per-View events or
movies. And, you will not be charged the $4.99
Additional Outlet/Programming Access Fee.
Press the MENU button on your remote
control and select Customer Support.
Press the DISH Home button on your remote
and select Customer Service.
Go to www.dishnetwork.com and select the
"My Account" option.
