Overview
Before you use your satellite receiver
, you need to install the system or
have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation,
please call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you
install the system yourself, use the instructions in Chapter 2.
A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get
the latest software from the satellite signal. If you are installing
a new system and follow the instructions in Chapter
4, your receiver will automatically get this software.
