Note:

The message “Searching for Satellite Signal” might appear briefly at the bottom of your screen when you turn on your satellite receiver for the first time. This is normal.

If this message stays on the screen for more than one minute, check your receiver’s on-screen signal meter to make sure your antenna is receiving the strongest possible satellite signal. See “Signal Meter” on page 36 for more information.

The Satellite Data Acquisition screen will also appear when:

•your unit loses power (either from a power outage or being unplugged)

•your unit loses the satellite signal for an extended period of time.

Wait for the Receiver to Download ADVANCED PROGRAM GUIDE™ Data

The first time you connect a receiver to a satellite antenna you’ve already installed and pointed correctly, the receiver starts to gather information for the program guide.

After you turn on your receiver and tune your TV to the correct video input channel, a progress bar appears indicating that the receiver is gathering this program guide information.

To prevent any damage to your TV screen, the progress bar disappears after 2 minutes (the screen goes blank).

Note: When the progress bar reaches 100%, there might be a delay before you actually see video on the screen.

If the screen stays blank for more than 2 to 3 minutes, you need to reset the receiver.

To reset the receiver:

1.Unplug the satellite receiver’s power cord from the power outlet.

2.Wait a few seconds, and plug the power cord back into the outlet.

3.Turn on the receiver and wait for it to download program guide information.
