Recover Button
Press the RECOVER button if you accidentally change the channel or video input on your TV and cannot get the picture back from your satellite receiver. When you press the
RECOVER button as described below, the remote control sends commands to your TV to change channels or video inputs to try to get you back to watching satellite programming. This procedure works only if you have accidentally changed the TV channel or video input. It does not recover lost satellite signal (See Chapter 4 - Reference for troubleshooting information). RECOVER only works if the remote control has been set up to control the TV and/or VCR, if connected.
