later, without a VCR.

MPORTANT
Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Avoid
excessive shock and vibration at all times as this can
damage the hard drive.
If you have the receiver turned on and need to move it,
be sure to unplug the receiver and let it sit for at least
30 seconds before moving it.
Do not install the receiver in any area where the
temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F
while the unit is operating.
If the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in
immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature
for at least 45 minutes before plugging it in.
Avoid installing the receiver on top of or underneath
another electronic device (such as a stereo receiver) as
this can cause heat build-up and vibration.
: Portions of your system may be marked with DishPVR and PVR or
Note
DishDVR and DVR. Either way, the system works the same.
