Thank you for choosing DISH Network. You are about to experience the excitement and convenience of Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) service, which delivers the very best in picture and sound quality. DISH Network consistently provides state-of-the-art, products and satellite- delivered services — with high performance, ease of operation, and a wide variety of entertainment options.

OVERVIEW

Before you use your satellite receiver, you need to install the system or have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation, please call the Customer Service Center

at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you install the system yourself, use the instructions in Chapter 4.

A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get the latest software from the satellite signal. If you are installing a new system and follow the instructions in Chapter 4, your receiver will automatically get this software.

For information on the system, read Chapter 2, Parts of the System beginning on page 5.

For information on any specific feature or function, read Chapter 3, Using The System beginning on page 17.

For information on assembling and installing a satellite system, read Chapter 4, Installation Instructions beginning on page 49.
