If your receiver is on for a preset period of time without any activity (for example, no channel changes), the Inactivity Standby feature turns off the receiver so that you’ll always have the latest Program Guide and DISH On Demand (if available on your model). Enabling this feature (recommended) also improves the reliability of your receiver. To change the settings for this feature, complete the following:
1 Press the MENU.
2 Select Preferences (8), and then Inactivity Standby (9) to open the Inactivity Standby screen.
3 Highlight Activation and use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to switch between Enabled and Disabled.
4 Highlight Inactivity Duration and use the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to select the amount of time the receiver waits before turning off.
5 Select Done.
Note: Select Defaults to reset the changes you’ve made to this feature.
