Why Connect to a Phone Line or Broadband
Chapter 1
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellites as they orbit the
Earth. This event occurs during a few days at the
beginning of the spring and the beginning of the
autumn and lasts only a few minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able to
see programs on DISH Network. When the sun
moves from behind the satellites, the programs
will reappear. This is an unavoidable natural
event and has an adverse effect on many
satellite providers.

Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect
to an active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so
that you will be able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of
the DishHOME Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the
instructions on page 111). A connected phone line also supports the Caller ID feature of
your ViP-series receiver (see the instructions on PAGE ZZ).
Your satellite receiver can be connected to your broadband home network. Currently this
connection allows you to order additional content not usually available through your
satellite subscription, and you can order pay-per-view programs using your remote control
(if you do not connect a phone line to your receiver). See the connection instructions on ,
and more information about DishONLINE on PAGE YY.
