CHANGING CHANNELS
There are two basic ways to change the channel on your satellite TV receiver:
• Use UP and DOWN ARROWS on your remote control
• Enter a channel number with the NUMBER PAD
Using the Up and Down Arrows
While watching live TV, if you want to change the channels one at a time
to see what’s on, press the UP and DOWN ARROWS on your remote
control. You can also change the channels the same way using the UP
and DOWN ARROWS on the receiver front panel.
Entering a Channel Number
While watching live TV, if you know the specific channel you
want to watch, enter the channel number using the NUMBER
PAD on the remote control.
USING THE PROGRAM GUIDE
You can use the Program Guide to see what programs are on, to change channels, and to
set up recordings. To access the guide, press GUIDE.
• A red background behind a channel usually means you have not subscribed to the
channel. After you subscribe to a channel, you can watch it. To subscribe to a channel,
visit our website at dishnetwork.com or call 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
• A yellow background behind a channel is for digital over-the-air channels. See
page 117 for instructions to connect an over-the-air antenna to your receiver.
• A green background behind a channel means that you can use SELECT on your
remote control to confirm the channel to your subscription.
