How to Get Started

Tip: Notice that menus and other screen pictures shown in this guide are for example only. What you see on your TV may look a bit different.

Overview

Before you use your satellite receiver, you need to install the system or have it installed by a professional technician. For a professional installation, please call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474). If you install the system yourself, use the instructions in Chapter 4.

A vital part of the installation is to set up the receiver to get the latest software via the satellite signal. You cannot use the receiver’s features until you do! If you are installing a new system and follow the instructions in Chapter 4, your receiver will automatically get this software.

•After you install your system (or add this receiver to an existing system), all you need to do is order your program packages using the instructions on page 3.

•Take the Quick Tours that begin on page 4 to become familiar with product operation and features.

•To learn about the parts of the system, see Parts of the System on page 15.

•To learn how to use the system, see Chapter 3, How to Use the System on page 31.

•To troubleshoot the system, see Chapter 5, Reference on page 105.

•Tune to the DISH Network info channels or visit our Web site at www.dishnetwork.com for info.

•For more help, call the Customer Service Center at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).

New Features Video

Your new receiver comes with New Features Video software. This new software allows us to download information to your hard drive in the form of short, video messages which will appear in your DVR List. We will use these messages to tell you when we’ve updated your receiver to add exciting new features and capabilities. Be sure to look for these events whenever you access your recorded events — to see what’s new for you from the DISH Network!
