Scan Channels

This option will automatically scan through all of the possible channels and place the active channel numbers into the Advanced Program Guide™ grid. NTSC (analog) channels will be listed by their normal one- or two-digit Channel Number. ATSC (digital) channels will be listed by the Channel Number followed by a hyphen and a number other than zero. An example of an ATSC channel would be 23-1. At this time, the program information for local NTSC and ATSC channels that is shown on the Advanced Program Guide™ will simply display “Regular Schedule.” To receive accurate program information for these channels, you need to select a local cable provider or enter area ZIP Code on the DISH SETUP screen.

Testing the Strength of the Terrestrial Digital Channels

The INSTALLATION screen will display the strengths of signals from the terrestrial digital channels. The screen displays a numerical strength indication and a bar graph accompanied by an audible tone to indicate signal strength. The higher the number, the greater the amount of the bar graph occupied, or the faster the beeping tone, the stronger the signal.

You should test the signal strength of each digital channel by “physical” Channel Number, not by “virtual” Channel Number. The “physical” Channel Number is the channel number that the FCC uses to identify the channel frequency, and it is a one-digit or

two-digit number. The “virtual” Channel Number is the number that a local broadcast station wishes to use to identify itself. For instance, if the number for your local CBS analog channel is 2 (Channel 2), then that station may use 2-1 as a digital “virtual” Channel Number, even though the “physical” number assigned by the FCC to that channel is 40.

To test the strength of terrestrial digital channel signals, highlighting the Source button on the INSTALLATION screen and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the SOURCE pop-up menu. Using the ▲ and ▲ keys to highlight the Local Digital button on the pop- up menu and pressing the SELECT key on the remote control will display the LOCAL DIGITAL Signal Strength Screen. Use the ▲ and ▲ keys on the remote control to move to the column on the left and use the ▲ and ▲ to highlight the Channel button. Press the SELECT key on the remote control to display the CHANNEL pop-up menu.

If you know the “physical” numbers for your local channels, use the number buttons on the remote control to select each channel number, and observe the signal strength. If you do not know these “physical” channel numbers, use the ▲ and ▲ keys on the remote control to change the channel one number at a time. Channels with a signal strength of less than 60 may require a better antenna, adjustment of the antenna angle, or the antenna may be too far away from the signal source.
