Remote Control

Satellite Dish Antenna Picks up the satellite’s coded program information and relays it to your receiver. (Your satellite dish may be installed in different locations on or around your house. The satellite dish antenna must, however, be pointed in a southern direction toward the satellite.)

Digital Satellite Receiver Receives the TV program information and sends it to your TV or VCR.

Telephone Jack Connects to the phone jack on the back of the receiver. The receiver uses a toll-free number once a month to update your access card. This update only takes a few seconds and ensures that you will have continuous service. The system automatically hangs up if you pick up the phone when the receiver is calling out.

Television If your television is remote controllable, you can program the remote to change channels and volume.

Remote (included with your satellite system) Controls the system as well as most remote controllable TVs. Point the remote at the device you want to control.

Access Card (installed in receiver) Must be inserted for you to use the system! Provides system security and authorization of program services. Do not remove the card except when issued a new card as a replacement for the original.
