QCan I receive my local TV programs through my digital satellite receiver?
AThere are three ways to receive local programming:
If you are in an area where local programming is available via satellite and
have the proper satellite dish antenna, contact DIRECTV to arrange for the
necessary subscription package.
Install a traditional antenna (i.e. roof mounted, attic mounted or rabbit ears)
or "lifeline" cable TV.
Arrange for basic or "lifeline" cable service from your local cable company.
If you should select item 1 above, your local programming will appear in
the program guide just as any other channel. For options 2 or 3, connect the
local signal to the IN FROM ANTENNA on the back of your digital
®
satellite receiver. Use the key to switch between DIRECTV
programming and local programming provided on the OUT TO TV
connector.
QIf I have questions about my satellite system or need to have it serviced,
who should I call?
AFor issues regarding your equipment, contact Hughes Consumer Care
Center directly at 1-800-274-8995. If you would like, call your dealer first.
They are most familiar with your installation and needs. Also, they are
likely to be local to you.
If you need assistance with your subscription, such as adding channels,
contact DIRECTV at 1-800-DIRECTV (347-3288).
QI think I set an event to record on my VCR, but when I played the tape
back nothing was there. What could be wrong?
AThere are several possible reasons for this. First, check that the VCR was
programmed correctly and left turned on and the input matches the output
from your digital satellite receiver. Confirm that you were authorized to tape
the chosen program.
QIWhy do I need to connect the satellite reciever to a telephone line?
AThe telephone connection is used by the satellite receiver report purchase
activity to DIRECTV.
QI picked up my telephone and it was making a hissing and squealing
sound. Why?
AYour digital satellite receiver was reporting any pay per view activity that
may have occurred. This happens very rarely and lasts for only a minute or
so.
QWhat if my question isn't listed here?
ACall your dealer or Hughes Consumer Care Center at 1-800-274-8995. We
will do our very best to answer your questions.
