Setting Up a DISH Network/Bell TV Receiver for Automatic Switching
For automatic switching to work properly with your DISH Network or
Bell TV receivers, be sure to observe the following requirements:
• Make sure each receiver is DISH pro-compatible. Look for
the DISH Pro logo on the box.
• Select a preset satellite group (see
). User-defined groups are limited to
manual satellite switching only.
• Run the TracVision Setup Wizard and initiate a Check
Switch test on the receiver when prompted to do so. See
“Running a Check Switch Test on a DISH Network or Bell
TV Receiver” on page 45
for details. You can launch the
Setup Wizard from the web interface (go to Settings >
General Settings).
NOTE: In some cases, a DISH Network receiver might automatically switch
from a high-definition (HD) channel to its standard-definition (SD)
equivalent. To prevent this from happening, always tune to the HD-only
channels at the upper range of the channel list (above 1000), or set up the
receiver to block the SD channels (from the Main Menu, select Locks:5 >
Channel Locks:2).
