Why Connect to a Phone Line or Broadband
Chapter 1
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellite as it orbits the Earth.
This event occurs during a few days at the
beginning of the spring and the beginning of the
autumn and lasts only a few minutes.
During these brief periods, you will not be able to
see programs on DISH Network. When the sun
has moved from behind the satellite, the
programs will reappear. This is an unavoidable
natural event and has an adverse effect on many
satellite program providers.

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 91).
Your satellite receiver can be connected to your broadband home network. Currently this
connection allows you to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, with
additional features and services added in the future (see connection instructions on
page 93).

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.
