Why Connect to a Phone Line or Broadband
WHY CONNECT TO A PHONE LINE OR BROADBAND
Your satellite receiver is equipped with a standard telephone jack that you use to connect
to an active telephone line. Keep the receiver connected to an active telephone line so
that you will be able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of
the DishHOME Interactive TV features, and other services from DISH Network (see the
instructions on page 94).
Your satellite receiver can be connected to your broadband home network. If your home
network is configured to allow access to the Internet, this connection currently allows you
to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control (if you do not connect a phone
line to your receiver). See the connection instructions on page 95.
MOVING ON-SCREEN LOGO
Whenever the receiver is turned off using the remote control or front panel POWER
button, you will see the DISH Network logo and helpful tips on your TV screen. This
feature is included with your receiver to assure you that the connections between your
receiver and TV(s) are not lost, and also provides useful information about your receiver
and its features. Press POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching
satellite TV programming. Make sure you are using the correct remote for your TV-viewing
location (see page 10 for details).
TIPS
• Always have the latest software—Turn off the receiver when you’re not using it.
• Order Pay-Per-View with your remote control—Keep an active phone line or
broadband network connected to the receiver. Not only will you have Pay-Per-View at
your fingertips, but you’ll also avoid unnecessary charges.
