Satellite Signal Troubleshooting. If you encounter problems during Satellite Dish
Guided Setup, you will see an error screen with some suggestions. For example, you may
have made a mistake entering your ZIP code or your type of satellite dish antenna.
If you are trying to set up the HD DVR, choose one of the options that return to part of
Satellite Dish Guided Setup. For example, if you received the “Satellite Info Error,”
choose “Try Again to Acquire Information.” You can also repeat Satellite Dish Guided
Setup. This allows you to check that your ZIP code and satellite dish antenna type are
correct. If you repeat Guided Setup and still receive error notifications, it is possible that
your satellite dish antenna is not pointed correctly or the dish or multiswitch is miswired.
Check the cabling, or consult a professional satellite system installer.
If you are trying to bypass Satellite Dish Guided Setup—for example, if you are setting up
the HD DVR in a place without a satellite signal—the bottom choice on the error screens
allows you to continue without resolving potential problems. While you may receive
fewer or no TV channels, you can still watch previously recorded programs.
