Why Connect to a Phone Line

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
has moved from behind the satellites, the
programs will reappear. This is an unavoidable
natural event and has an adverse effect on many
satellite program providers.

HY ONNECT TO A
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 108).

OVING
Whenever the receiver is turned off, you will see the DISH Network logo moving around on
your TV screen. This feature is included with your receiver to assure you that the
connections between your receiver and TV(s) are not lost. Press POWER or SELECT on
the remote control to resume watching satellite TV programming. Make sure you are using
the correct remote for your TV-viewing location (see page 16 for details).
