System Test runs tests on the HD DVR’s signal, tuning, access card, and phone
connection, then shows the test results. You can also see the ID Number for your
DIRECTV Access Card on this screen. The tests begin when you press SELECT.
If the tests succeed, press SELECT to return to Messages & Setup. If the tests fail, press
SELECT to retry them or LEFT arrow to return to Messages & Setup.
• If the Satellite Signal test failed, you need to troubleshoot the signal from your satellite
dish antenna. See “Questions About Satellite or Antenna Signal” on page 122..
• If the Antenna Signal test failed, press the LIVE TV button to go to live TV. Tune to
any off-air antenna channel, then come back and try the System Test again. If the test
still fails, see “Questions About Satellite or Antenna Signal” on page 122.
• If the access card test failed, check your access card. The proper side of the access card
should be inserted firmly into the slot on the front of the HD DVR. If you have inserted
the correct card firmly, and the access card test is still failing, see the Customer Care
contact information on the back of this guide.
• If the phone connection test fails, see “Questions About the DIRECTV
