CHANGING CHANNELS
Using the Up and Down Arrows
While watching TV, if you want to change the channels one at a time to
see what’s on, press the UP and DOWN ARROWS on your remote
control. You can also change the channels the same way using the UP
and DOWN ARROWS on the receiver front panel.
Entering a Channel Number
While watching TV, if you know the specific channel you want to watch,
enter the channel number using the NUMBER PAD on the remote
control.
USING THE PROGRAM GUIDE
You can use the Program Guide to see what programs are on, to change channels, and to
set up recordings. To access this guide, press GUIDE.
•A red background behind a channel usually means you have not subscribed to the
channel. After you subscribe to a channel, you can tune to it. To subscribe to a
channel, please call 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
•A yellow background behind a channel is for off-air digital channels. See page77 for
instructions to connect an off-air antenna to your receiver.
•The Program Guide shows which Favorites List is active. If All Chan is active, the
Program Guide shows all the channels. The All Sub list shows only the channels in
your subscription. If you activate another list, the Program Guide shows only the
channels on that list. See page27 for information on Favorites Lists.
