Set Zones For Services - Dish Network Smartbox User Manual

Manual Process
To manually correlate the ATSC-satellite services, begin typing the satellite channel name in the empty field to the
right of the ATSC service. As you type, a drop-down will appear listing available options (See Figure 32.). Select
the appropriate channel and apply. Once this step is complete, you'll need to run a manual guide scan (Chapter 11)
to update the database being sent to EVOLVE to include the new channels.
Figure 32
NOTE: There are more local services available off-air than satellite. Thus, not all ATSC services will have guide
data from a corresponding satellite service to pull guide data from. You can activate these services but EVOLVE
will display "No Information" in the guide for such services.

services to certain zones. For example, premium services cannot be shown in the lobby. Please refer to
