What Is
Happening
Possible Reason What to Do
You were using a menu,
and it suddenly closed.
• The receiver has a time-out
feature that closes any menu after
several minutes of no activity.
This will discard any changes
you have made, but otherwise
does no harm to the receiver.
• Start over again.
What Is
Happening
Possible Reason What to Do
In the Program Guide,
some channels have a red
background.
• Red means that you have not
bought the program. You must
buy a channel before you can
tune the receiver to it.
• If you want to buy a channel, call the Customer Service Center
at 1-800-333-DISH (3474).
You try to display future
programs in the Program
Guide or Browse
Banner, but find you
cannot.
•The Program Guide and
Browse Banner can display
programs scheduled for an
extended, but not unlimited time
beyond the present.
• Try displaying the Program Guide again later. By that time,
it may show programs for the time and date you want.
• Turn the receiver off for about ten minutes.
You try to display
programs that have ended
in the Program Guide or
Browse Banner, but
find you cannot.
•The Program Guide and
Browse Banner can display
only programs that have not yet
ended. These features cannot
display a time earlier than the
present.
• Contact the program providers for details on past programs.
When you are using the
Program Guide or
Browse Banner, some
channels are missing.
• You may have applied a Favorite
List other than the list named All
Chan.
You may have set up the
Program Guide so that when
the receiver is locked, the Guide
hides adult channels.
If your setup includes a multi-
dish switch, you may need to do
the Check Switch procedure.
• You can change the applied Favorite List while using the
Program Guide, by pressing the remote control Guide
button. You can choose another custom Favorite List, the All
Chan list, which includes all of the channels, or the All Sub
list, which includes all subscribed channels. Unlock the receiver
for the Program Guide to display adult channels.
Do the Check Switch procedure (see the installation
instructions
for details).
