control, the receiver does not do what
you expect.

the channel displayed is the
closest possible to the

All Channels is applied, the
receiver will skip channels
that are not on the applied
list.

a channel that is not inlcuded
in your DISH package, the
receiver will change to the
channel and display a
message indicating it is not
part of your subscription.
• If a Favorites List other than
All Channels is applied, the
receiver will skip channels that
are not on the applied list.
• If you have set up the
receiver to hide adult
channels or to hide locked
channels, these channels
are not displayed in the
Program Guide or other
channel lists.

missing batteries, the batteries
may be incorrectly placed in the
remote, or the batteries may be
weak or dead.

wrong mode.

check whether they are placed

remove them and place correctly.
