Note: The Program Guide provides a complete listing of all programs available on all channels, including those that are not in your subscrip- tion (these channels have red backgrounds).

ABOUT SATELLITE TELEVISION

Satellite television uses a satellite in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio programming. This type of orbit enables the satellite to stay aligned over one place on the surface of the Earth.

Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to follow it.

SATELLITE SIGNAL QUALITY

RAIN AND SNOW FADE

Heavy rain, snow, or cloud cover can block the satellite signal, which can interrupt your programming service. By aiming the satellite dish to get the strongest signal during installation, you can help prevent rain and snow from interrupting the signal. Your service will return after the weather condition has passed.

Tip: The system automatically displays programs based on the current day and time. You can advance the Guide to view informa- tion on future programs, but not programs that have already ended.

Tip: If you lose your picture, it’s most likely due to heavy rain, snow or snow build-up on your dish.
