Receiver Description and Installation
Programming the Recover Button
Your remote controls come equipped with a RECOVER button that helps you if you accidentally change the channel or video input on your remote TV and cannot get the picture back from your satellite receiver. When you press the RECOVER button as described on page 56, the remote control sends commands to your remote TV to change channels or video inputs to try to get you back to watching satellite programming.
When your Remote Control 2 is shipped from the factory, the RECOVER button is set up to restore satellite TV viewing by tuning your TV to channel 3, 4, and other inputs (see page 56 for details). However, to use the RECOVER button with your remote TV, you need to program the RECOVER button with the specific channel (for example, channel 60) that you use to watch TV2 programming. The following instructions describe how to program the RECOVER button to tune your remote TV back to a selected channel.
