Buying a Pay-Per-View Program
Using the Telephone for Voice/Data/FAX
You try to apply an empty
Favorite List. The receiver
displays an ERROR
message.
The receiver will not allow you to
apply an empty list.
Choose another list to apply, or add at least one channel to the
empty list.
A Favorite List does not
show channels that you
know you have added to it.
If you have set up the Program
Guide to hide adult channels and
the receiver is locked, the Favorite
List will not show such channels.
Unlock the receiver for the list to show adult channels.
What Is
Happening
Possible Reason What to Do
Someone orders a Pay-
Per-View program
without your permission.
You may have been away from the
receiver, and someone else used it.
Lock the purchase of Pay-Per-View programs. Remember that you
are responsible for all Pay-Per-View purchases, whether or not
you authorize such purchases. If you lock Pay-Per-View purchases,
then anyone who wants to order a Pay-Per-View program must
enter the password.
You find that you are not
able to order a Pay-Per-
View program.
The receiver may not be connected
to an active telephone line.
Your credit limit may have been
exceeded.
You must connect the receiver to an active telephone connection at
all times. If you install two or more receivers, you must connect
each receiver to an active telephone connection at all times.
Review your Pay-Per-View purchases to check the Smart Card
credit limit.
You find that you are not
able to cancel a Pay-Per-
View program.
You ordered a Pay-Per-View
program, and then decided not to
watch it.
You cannot cancel an order for a Pay-Per-View program, whether
it was just ordered or ordered earlier.
Your setup includes more
than one receiver. You
order a Pay-Per-View
program, but it does not
appear via all of the
receivers.
You ordered a Pay-Per-View
program, and want it to be available
via all the receivers in your setup.
If you want to watch a Pay-Per-View program on TVs connected to
up to six receivers, you must order the program for each receiver
but you only pay for the program once.
What Is Happening Possible Reason What to Do
While you are making a
telephone call, you hear
“clicks.”
The receiver may have tried to call the
Customer Service Center to send Pay-
Per-View purchase information. When
the receiver found that the telephone
was busy, it automatically
disconnected.
You do not have to do anything. You can always use your telephone
line, because the receiver automatically hangs up if it finds the line is
busy.
The receiver cannot connect
to DISH Network.
Maybe the receiver is connected to a
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) phone
line.
Install a DSL filter between the receiver and the telephone wall jack.
You pick up the telephone to
make a call, but you do not
hear a dial tone.
The receiver was calling the Customer
Service Center to send Pay-Per-View
information. When the receiver found
that the telephone was busy, it
automatically disconnected.
Hang up, and then pick up the telephone again to get a dial tone.
Your computer or facsimile
(FAX) machine tries to send
a FAX or modem
transmission, but fails.
The receiver was calling the Customer
Service Center to send Pay-Per-View
information. When the receiver found
that the telephone was busy, it
automatically disconnected. The FAX
or modem found that there was no dial
tone, and cancelled the transmission.
Resend the FAX or modem transmission.
