Quick Fixes for Most Common Problems

DISH Network prides itself on its award-winning, top-of-the-line
high-definition DVR receiver. In the event you experience any problems
watching or controlling your TV, try these quick fixes:

Blue, Black, Frozen or Snowy Screen:

» Reset Your Receiver: If you see a blue, black, frozen or snowy screen,

press and hold the POWE R button on the front panel of your receiver for
about 5 seconds. The receiver will rest art and should return to programming
in just a few minutes. Resetting your receiver is like re-booting your computer.

» Your TV May Be On The Wrong Channel / Input:

See the “TV Viewing Basics” panel to make sure your TV is set to the
correct channel number or input.

Remote Won’t Work:

Try replacing the batteries in your remote control. You may see a message on
your screen regarding low battery strength.

Satellite Signal Message:

If you get an “acquiring satellite signal” message, your signal will be restored
within minutes, not days or weeks like with cable. This is rare, and almost
always temporary.

If you have had inclement weather and continue to have signal issues after the
weather clears, make sure your dish antenna is not covered by snow, ice or a
fallen object. If it can be accessed safely and easily, gently clear your dish.
