Before You Get Started ...
Make sure you (or your DSS system installer) have completed the
following procedures before you start using your DSS receiver:
1
Install the satellite antenna, as described in the Satellite Antenna
Installation Manual.
Note
Make certain that yon (or your DSS system installer) have optimized the
.signal strength. If the signal is not optimized, you may experience losses in
audio or video, especially during rain, snow, or other conditions that tend to
degrade signal performance. See the Satellite Antenna Installation Manual for
details on pointing the dish and optimizing the antenna's signal strength.
2
Connect the satellite antenna to your DSS receiver. Then connect
the receiver to your television and telephone line. (See Chapter 3.)
Note
Your phone line must be connected to the DSS receiver in order for you to
purchase a pay-per-view program with the DSS remote control.
3
Make sure the access card is inserted into the DSS receiver. The
receiver comes with the card already inserted. (See page 68 for
details on inserting the access card.)
4
Call your program providers (DIRECTV and USSB) to activate
your service. You'll need to provide information, including the
model and serial numbers of your DSS receiver and the access card
number.
