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
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.
