Wrong picture

The digital satellite receiver and most VCRs let you toggle between signals. If you don’t see the signal you think you should be seeing, try using these buttons to toggle between the signals:

•Press the TV/VCR button on the VCR remote or on the VCR’s front panel.

•Press the ANTENNA button on the remote control.

Taking either of the above actions lets you switch the source of the video signal from satellite signals to the off-air antenna or cable signal, and vice versa.

•You may not have installed your satellite dish antenna properly.

Refer to the dish pointing instructions in the Menu section of this book and the installation guide that came with your satellite dish antenna.

Receiver will not turn on

•Check to make sure it is plugged in.

•Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

•Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.”

•Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

•Unplug the receiver. Wait five minutes. Plug it in again.
