222.book Page vi Tuesday, July 25, 2006 1:30 PM
Safety
Note to Satellite TV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the satellite TV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) that provides guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.
• Operate the receiver using only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Unplug the
receiver power cord by gripping the power plug, not the cord.
• Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Never insert objects of any kind into the receiver through openings, as the objects may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts. This could cause fire or electrical shock.
• Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing the antenna, take extreme care to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as
contact with them can be fatal.
• Do not attempt to service the receiver yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage, and will void the Limited Warranty. Refer all servicing to authorized service personnel.
Proper Care of Your Equipment
• Always handle the satellite receiver carefully. Avoid excessive shock and vibration at all times as this can
damage the hard drive.
• Unplug the receiver from the AC power outlet before cleaning.
• If you have the receiver turned on and need to move it, be sure to unplug the receiver and let it sit for at
least 30 seconds before moving it.
• The use of accessories or attachments not recommended by the receiver manufacturer will void the Limited
Warranty.
• Do not place the receiver in an enclosure such as a cabinet without proper ventilation.
• Do not stack the receiver on top of or below other electronic devices as this can cause heat build-up and
vibration.
• Do not install the receiver in any area where the temperature can be less than 40°F or more than 113°F. If
the receiver is cold to the touch, do not plug it in immediately. Let it sit unplugged at room temperature for at
least 45 minutes before plugging it in.
• Use an outlet that contains surge suppression or ground fault protection. For added protection during a
lightning storm, or when the receiver is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug the
power cord from the wall outlet, disconnect the lines between the receiver and the antenna, and disconnect
the telephone line. This will provide some protection against damage caused by lightning or power line
surges.
vi
On some TVs, the presence of fixed images for extended periods of time may cause them to be
permanently imprinted on the screen. Consult your TV user guide for information on whether this is
a problem for your TV, what operating/viewing restrictions apply to avoid this problem, and
associated TV warranty coverage.

Catch all the action on Pay-Per-View. Take a break from regular TV and order the latest movies,
sports, and special events. For details on ordering Pay-Per-View events, see page 33. Be sure to
connect an active phone line to your receiver before you order a Pay-Per-View event (see the

ABOUT SATELLITE TV RECEPTION
Satellite television uses satellites in a stationary orbit over the Earth to deliver television and audio
programming. This type of orbit enables the satellites to stay aligned over one place on the surface
of the Earth. Once the satellite dish is aimed at the satellite, the dish does not have to move to
follow it.
Here’s something interesting! Noted science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke
calculated the orbit that causes satellites to remain stationary in the sky. To this
day the 22,000 mile high orbit bears the name Clarke Belt.
Rain and Snow Fade
Heavy rain, snow, or dense cloud cover can reduce the
satellite signal, which may interrupt your programming
service. Your service will return after the weather
condition has passed. Aiming the satellite dish to get the
strongest signal during installation, will help prevent rain
and snow from interrupting the signal.
6
Chapter 01 Two Color.fm Page 7 Tuesday, July 25, 2006 2:58 PM
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind the
DISH Network satellite as it orbits the Earth. This event
occurs during a few days at the beginning of the spring
and the beginning of the autumn and lasts only a few
minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able to see
programs on DISH Network. When the sun has moved
from behind the satellite, the programs will reappear. This
is an unavoidable natural event for all television involving
the use of satellites and has an adverse effect on many
program providers.
Introduction
Why Connect to a Phone Line
WHY CONNECT TO A PHONE LINE
Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect to an
active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so that you will be
able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of the DishHOME
Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the instructions on page 92).
MOVING LOGO
Whenever the receiver is turned off using the remote control or front panel POWER button, you will
see the DISH Network logo moving around on your TV screen. This feature is included with your
receiver to assure you that the connections between your receiver and TV(s) are not lost. Press
POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching satellite TV programming.

Tips
TIPS
• Always have the latest software - Turn off the receiver when you’re not using it.
• Order Pay-Per-View with your remote control - Keep an active phone line connected to the
receiver. Not only will you have Pay-Per-View at your fingertips, but you’ll also avoid
unnecessary charges.
QUESTIONS
• How do I find something to watch? Refer to page 5. For more information on finding some-
thing to watch, see Chapter 3 - Finding Programs to Watch.
• Why are some of the channels red in the Program Guide? The channels that are red in the
Program Guide are those which are not currently in your subscription. If you’d like to watch
those channels, call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or go to www.dishnetwork.com.
• I’m looking at program information in a guide I bought at the grocery store, but nothing
matches what’s on my DISH Network receiver, is something wrong? No. DISH Network
programming may vary from what you’ll find in a local publication. For best results, use the
Program Guide on your receiver or order DISH Entertainment.

Satellite Receiver Overview
SATELLITE RECEIVER OVERVIEW
This section gives you an overview of your DISH Network satellite TV receiver system.
Satellite Receiver
Use this dual-tuner satellite receiver to watch different programs in two locations:
• Nearby TV (TV1) - Programming from the receiver is delivered to the nearby TV using
short audio/video cables.
• Remote TV(s) (TV2) - Programming from the receiver is delivered to the remote TV(s)
using existing in-home coaxial cable.
Remote Controls
Two remote controls come with your receiver:
• Remote Control 1 - An Infrared (IR) remote to control programming for the nearby TV
(TV1). This remote is labeled with a green number 1, which matches similar markings
on the receiver output connections and the menus for the nearby TV.
• Remote Control 2 - An Ultra-High Frequency Pro (UHF Pro) remote to control programming at a remote TV (TV2). This remote is labeled with blue number 2,
which matches similar markings on the receiver output connections and the menus for
the remote TV. Be sure to set up the remote to control the receiver (see page 58).
10
Chapter 02 Two Color.fm Page 11 Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:02 PM
DUAL AND SINGLE MODES
Your satellite receiver includes two modes of operation: Dual and Single. These modes
increase your entertainment options because you’ll be able to choose how you watch your
favorite programs.
Dual Mode
While in Dual Mode, you can use this dual-tuner satellite receiver to watch different
programming in two separate locations:
• Nearby TV - Programming from the receiver is delivered to the TV near the receiver
using short audio/video cables and is controlled using Remote Control 1. The Nearby
TV is also referred to as “TV1.”
Receiver and Remote Controls
Dual and Single Modes
• Remote TV - Programming from the receiver is delivered to a TV located in another
room using existing in-home coaxial cable and is controlled using Remote Control 2.
The video displayed on the remote TV is always in standard definition (SD). The
Remote TV is also referred to as “TV2.”
You can tell your receiver is in Dual Mode because the Mode front panel indicator will light
and the menu and other screens will display Dual Mode (as shown below).
11
Chapter 02 Two Color.fm Page 12 Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:02 PM
Chapter 2
Dual and Single Modes
Single Mode
Single Mode provides dual-tuner receiver features—like Picture-in-Picture (PIP)—to all
connected TVs.
12
Single Mode delivers the same programming to all of the TVs connected to the satellite
receiver and allows this programming to be controlled by either remote control. The format
of the programming shown on the remote TV(s) is standard definition (SD) and high
definition (HD) is shown only on the nearby TV. You can tell you are in Single Mode
because the Mode front panel indicator will light and the menus and other screens will
display Single Mode (as shown below).
Chapter 02 Two Color.fm Page 13 Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:02 PM

Remote Controls
REMOTE CONTROLS
The two remote controls give you access to all the features of your satellite receiver. You
can set up each remote to control the satellite receiver and up to three other devices (see
page 61). These devices can be a TV, a VCR or DVD player, and a third device.
This section describes how to use the various features on the two types of remote controls
included with your satellite TV system.
Types of Remote Controls
Remote Control 1 uses infrared (IR)
signals to:
• Control TV1 menus for the nearby
TV in Dual Mode.
• Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
IR signals travel only short distances
(60 feet or less), and cannot go
through walls or other solid objects.
You must point the remote control
directly at the device, with no objects
blocking the line of sight.
Remote Control 1 uses IR signals
to control both the receiver and other
devices programmed into the remote.
This remote control is identified by the
green number 1 at the bottom of the
remote control.
UHF
UHF
PRO
PRO
2
2
Remote Control 2 uses UHF Pro
signals to:
• Control TV2 menus for the remote
TVs in Dual Mode.
• Control the satellite receiver in
Single Mode.
UHF Pro signals travel long distances
and go through walls and other solid
objects.
To use Remote Control 2 to control
the receiver, you must attach the UHF
antenna to the receiver back panel
(see page 15).
Remote Control 2 uses IR signals to
control other devices programmed
into the remote. You must point the
remote control directly at these
devices, with no objects blocking the
line of sight.
14
This remote control is identified by the
blue number 2 at the bottom of the
remote control.
Chapter 02 Two Color.fm Page 15 Tuesday, July 25, 2006 3:02 PM
Remote Control Batteries
The remote control comes with AAA batteries. When you replace old
batteries, you should replace all of the batteries. Use batteries of the same
kind, for example, alkaline or carbon zinc. Don’t mix batteries of different
kinds. Alkaline batteries last longer.
1 Press down on the top of the battery cover and slide the cover off.
2 Take out all of the old batteries.
3 Put the new batteries in. Make sure you match the plus (“+”) ends with the
plus markings on the battery case.
Receiver and Remote Controls
Remote Controls
4 Slide the cover back into place.
Low Battery Warning
When you see a low battery warning message on your screen below the Program Banner,
the batteries in your remote control are weak and need to be replaced.
Here's a helpful hint...Don’t wait until you see this warning to change the remote
control batteries. If your remote control doesn’t seem to be working very well (for
example, you have to press POWER more than once to turn the receiver on or off),
it’s a good indication that the batteries are getting weak.
Attach the Remote Antenna
Attach the UHF remote antenna to the receiver's back panel Remote Antenna input so you
can use your UHF Pro Remote Control 2. Without the UHF antenna, you cannot use the
remote to control the receiver. See Adjusting the Remote Antenna on page 60 for more
detailed information about improving the performance of your UHF Pro remote control.

Tips
• If you do not do anything in a menu for several minutes, the menu automatically
closes. This will discard any changes you made, and display the program you were
watching.
• To use Remote Control 2, be sure to attach the UHF Remote Antenna. See page 15
for details.
• On Remote Control 2, press FORMAT/* to change the aspect ratio (display shape) of
HD channels displayed on remote TV(s).
QUESTIONS
• Why put the receiver in Single Mode? So you can use the PIP functions. While the
receiver is in Single Mode, you can watch the same program on all the TVs connected
to the receiver.
