Tip
If your system fails a test, run
the system test several times
before concluding that there is
a problem. Occasional
fluctuations in the phone line
or satellite signal can give
temporary false readings.

System Test

This function allows you to perform a system-level diagnostic test on the
satellite receiver. There are four sub-tests within this system test. Each one will
display results after the testing for that area is complete. The receiver's access
card number is also displayed in this menu.
Note: While the system is testing the signal, the video will temporarily blank
out. When the tests are complete, a summary display appears.

System Info

This function displays the model and serial numbers of the receiver. It will also
display the brand name and display a features list.

Upgrades

Your digital satellite receiver is able to receive upgrades or modifications to
some of its features and functions. These modifications will occur automatically,
usually at times when your receiver would likely be turned off. If your receiver
is on when an upgrade or modification is sent, you may experience a
disruption in reception for a minute or two. Your reception should return to
normal after the modification is complete.
Note: Your receiver must be plugged in to receive any updates. Do not
unplug your receiver while an update is in progress. Please consult the
Upgrades Menu to find a schedule of upgrades or modifications planned by
DIRECTV.
