About this Receiver
Your DISH satellite receiver has features that make watching TV more
exciting. Along with the integrated digital video recorder (DVR) functions,
you are about to discover new ways to make programming choices.
Remote Controls
Two types of remote controls can be used with your receiver:
•
An Infrared (IR) remote control is included with your receiver. It
controls programming for the TV labeled with a number 1, which
matches similar markings on the receiver output connections and
the menus displayed for this TV. Point it directly at the receiver.
•
An optional IR/Ultra-High Frequency Pro (UHF Pro) remote
control is also available separately to control programming through
walls, floors and other obstructions, for example, when your
receiver is installed inside an equipment closet.
Overview
Before you use your satellite receiver
have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation,
please call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you
install the system yourself, use the diagrams and instructions in Chapter 2.
A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get
the latest software from the satellite. After you install a new
system correctly, following the instructions in Chapter 2, then
your receiver will automatically install this software.
For information on the receiver and its installation, read Chapter 2,
Receiver Description and Installation beginning on page 19.
For information on any specific feature or function, read Chapter 3, Using
The System beginning on page 37.
If you have a problem operating the system or receive an error message, use
the Troubleshooting Tables beginning on page 97.
