Unique Benefits of Your Dual-Tuner DVR
You can watch recordings on any TV connected to the dual-tuner receiver.
One receiver independently operates 2 TVs:
TV1 has a GREEN remote key and is
in the room with the receiver.
TV2 has a BLUE remote key and is in
the room without the receiver.
Check out this example house:
» Start watching a recorded
show in the living room and
then finish watching it in the
bedroom, without missing
a second of your show.
» You can record different
shows in each room at the
same time – and still be able
to watch your recorded shows.
Plus, you get all the same great features in the living room and bedroom – all
from just one award-winning DISH Network receiver.

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 POWER button on the front panel of your receiver for
about 5 seconds. The receiver will restart and should return to programming

HOLD FOR RES ET
Receiver image may vary.
» 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.
