HomePlug
Troubleshooting

1. Ensure the HomePlug-to-Ethernet adapter is plugged firmly into the electrical outlet. The 

adapter should not be plugged into a GFI electrical outlet. 

2. Verify the HomePlug-to-Ethernet adapter is not plugged into a switched outlet.
3. If a surge protector is used for either the satellite receiver or the HomePlug-to-Ethernet 

adapter, a surge protector that is approved for use with HomePlug devices must be used, 
and the adapter and receiver must be plugged into the HomePlug outlet.

4. Dimmers for home lighting can interfere with HomePlug. It is not recommended to use 

dimmers on the same circuit as HomePlug equipment.

5. Verify the Ethernet cable is “clicked in” on the adapter’s 

E

THERNET

 

port and the 

E

THERNET

 

port on the router.

6. Try connecting the Ethernet cable to a different 

E

THERNET

 

port on the router/switch.

A program that I 
downloaded 
disappeared from 
the My Rentals list

I am unable to 
start downloading 
a program

1. The satellite receiver must have satellite signal to begin a new download. If you have 

received an error message such as “Acquiring Satellite Signal” or “Satellite Signal has 
been lost”, your signal loss issue needs to be resolved before you can download programs. 
Refer to tech.dishnetwork.com for signal loss troubleshooting steps. 

2. If your receiver has satellite signal but you are still unable to download movies, refer to 

the troubleshooting steps 

Connection status on Network Setup screen is Not Connected, or
