Using the System

Change Channels

You can change channel on your satellite receiver while watching a program by doing one of the following:

Press the remote control UP or DOWN ARROW button to change the channel.

Use the NUMBER PAD buttons to enter the channel number you want.

Note: If you apply a Favorites List, you can use the UP or DOWN ARROW buttons to change channels on the list you apply, or use the number buttons to change to any channel, even if it is not on your applied list. The receiver skips over blocked channels if you hide them and lock the receiver. See page 38 for information on Favorites Lists.

Use the Program Guide

You can use the Program Guide to see what programs are on and to change channels.

The first time you use the receiver, it will take a little while to display the Program Guide. A message may be displayed indicating that the Program Guide needs to be updated. This is normal.

A red background behind a channel usually means you haven’t subscribed to the channel. Once you buy a channel, you can tune to it. To order a channel, please call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or use the Dish button to order through the Customer Support application.

Tip: The

Program Guide is your key to satellite TV programs. The receiver displays the Program Guide on the TV screen.
