Point Dish and Check Switch
The Point Dish and Check Switch screens are often helpful when you call the Customer
Service Center. You may be asked to display these screens when you contact DISH. Even
though there are items that can be changed, only change them when specifically directed
to do so when speaking to a DISH Customer Service Representative.
Warning: Running the Check Switch test while is receiving low or no signal will
result in incorrect receiver settings and cause you to lose channels. Do not run a
Check Switch test unless directed to do so when speaking to a Customer Service
Representative or DISH technician.
