What to Do
• You must buy a channel before you can tune to a program on
that channel. Call the Customer Service Center to buy the
channel, or if you believe this message was displayed by
mistake.
• Wait a few minutes to see if the message is removed. Make sure
that all required cables are in place, and check that all cable
connections are tight and dry (for outdoor cables).
Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the
satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the
line of sight.
• Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/
Signal menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not,
contact your installer to re-aim the satellite dish.
• You must connect the receiver to an active telephone connection
at all times. If you install two or more receivers, you must
connect each receiver to an active telephone connection at all
times.
• Review your pay per view purchases to check the credit limit.
Call the Customer Service Center for help checking the credit
limit, and/or to get authorization to make a purchase.
• If you have authorized the receiver, wait a few minutes to see if
the message is removed. Make sure that all required cables are
in place, and check that all cable connections are tight and dry
(for outdoor cables).
• Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the
satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the
line of sight.
• Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/
Signal menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not,
contact your installer to re-aim the satellite dish. If you have not
authorized the receiver, call the Customer Service Center for
help.

• Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/
Signal menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not,
contact your installer to re-aim the satellite dish.
• Turn the receiver off. Doing this allows the receiver to
"download" new software via the satellite signal. The download
may take several minutes; do not disturb or unplug the receiver
during this time. When the download is done, you will be able
to use it to order pay per view programs.
• You must set up the receiver to control the VCR before you can
set a VCR Event Timer. See the Using the System for
instructions.
• If your setup includes a multi-dish switch, you must do
the Check Switch test.
• Make sure that you have selected the option for the right satellite
on the Point Dish/Signal menu.
• Make sure that the cable(s) for the satellite you have selected are
connected to the LNBF that receives signals from that satellite.
Re-aim the satellite dish at the right satellite.
