Why Connect to a Phone Line
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the
DISH Network satellite as it orbits the Earth. This event
occurs during a few days at the beginning of the spring
and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a few
minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able to see
programs on DISH Network. When the sun has moved
from behind the satellite, the programs will reappear. This
is an unavoidable natural event for all television involving
the use of satellites and has an adverse effect on many
program providers.
WHY CONNECT TO A PHONE LINE
Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect to an
active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so that you will be
able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of the DishHOME
Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the instructions on page92).
MOVING LOGO
Whenever the receiver is turned off using the remote control or front panel POWER button, you will
see the DISH Network logo moving around on your TV screen. This feature is included with your
receiver to assure you that the connections between your receiver and TV(s) are not lost. Press
POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching satellite TV programming.
