Why do I see a moving DISH Network logo on my TV screen?

Why do I have a snowy picture (or a blue or black screen) on TV2?

Your receiver went into standby mode or has been turned off. Press the SELECT button on your remote control to bring back programming.

Check to make sure your TV (and if connected, your VCR) is tuned to the correct channel. Unless changed, factory default for TV2 is channel 60. Refer to the "Watching Your Satellite Programs" section in this guide for correct channel setup or use the Recover button.

Why does my TV2 display a moving DISH Network logo that says "Shared view is currently disabled"?

Your satellite receiver is in "Single Mode" and "Shared View" is disabled. If you want to watch what TV1 is watching, simply enable the Shared View option. If you want to watch a program on TV2 that is different than what is being viewed on TV1, press the MODE button on the front of the satellite receiver to put it in Dual Mode. See your User's Guide for Shared View options.

You can only view Picture-In-Picture when in Single Mode. Press the MODE button on the front of your receiver so that the Single Mode light is on, then use the blue PICTURE-INPICTURE buttons as desired.

Try pressing the SAT Mode button. Check to make sure you are using the correct remote (TV1 or TV2) for the desired location. Your remote control batteries may need to be replaced. Check the remote address (see User's Guide).

You may have a neighbor that also has a UHF remote and their remote may be controlling your receiver. This is easily corrected by changing your remote control address. See your User's Guide for instructions.

Satellite Signal

Please Wait

Why does my satellite signal change from good to bad?

Check to see if there are any obstructions in front of your satellite dish. Sometimes new tree or plant growth can obstruct the signal between the satellite and the dish. If you are experiencing frequent signal interruptions, please contact DISH Network.

Why does my satellite receiver have to be connected to a telephone line?

PHONE

Keeping your phone line connected enables you to take advantage of interactive TV services, Customer Support Application, or Caller ID applications. It will also allow you to use your remote control to order Pay-Per-View events or movies. And, you will not be charged the $4.99 Additional Outlet/Programming Access Fee.

History

If your DVR hard drive has reached its maximum capacity, new recordings will replace the oldest unprotected programs. To avoid losing a desired DVR recorded event, make sure to protect it when you set up the recording or when you select it from the DVR Events list.

(HD Models only) Why does my High Definition picture seem distorted?

You may need to adjust the format of the picture to match the program you are viewing. Press the Format (*) button on your remote to cycle through the available picture formats.

For further details on how to maximize enjoyment of your new DISH Network satellite receiver, see the DISH Player-DVR User's Guide.
