You may have just plugged in the

receiver, and it is acquiring the

satellite signal. Or, the receiver may

have temporarily lost the signal.

Wait a few minutes to see if the message is removed. Make sure that

all required cables are in place, and check that all cable connections

are tight and dry (for outdoor cables).

Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the

satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line

of sight.

Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/Signal

menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not, contact your

installer to re-aim the satellite dish.

018

The receiver may not be connected

to an active telephone line.

The Smart Card credit limit may

have been exceeded.

You must connect the receiver to an active telephone connection at

all times. If you install two or more receivers, you must connect

each receiver to an active telephone connection at all times.

Review your Pay-Per-View purchases to check the Smart Card

credit limit.

Call the Customer Service Center for help checking the credit limit,

and/or to get authorization to make a purchase.

022

The receiver may not yet have been

electronically linked with the Smart

Card, via the satellite signal. The

satellite dish may have moved so

that it is no longer picking up the

satellite signal. The cable

connections may have loosened or

have moisture inside. There may be

an interruption of the satellite signal.

If you have authorized the receiver, wait a few minutes to see if the

message is removed. Make sure that all required cables are in place,

and check that all cable connections are tight and dry (for outdoor

cables).

Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the

satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line

of sight.

Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/Signal

menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not, contact your

installer to re-aim the satellite dish. If you have not authorized the

receiver, call the Customer Service Center for help.

026

The receiver may have temporarily

lost the satellite signal.

Wait a few minutes to see if the message is removed. Make sure that

all required cables are in place, and check that all cable connections

are tight and dry (for outdoor cables).

Make sure that the satellite dish has a clear line of sight to the

satellite. Check whether branches or leaves have grown into the line

of sight.

Check that the Signal Strength bar in the Point Dish/Signal

menu is green and displays the word Locked. If not, contact your

installer to re-aim the satellite dish.

028

The receiver may need to get new

software before you can use it to

order Pay-Per-View programs.

Turn the receiver off. Doing this allows the receiver to “download”

new software via the satellite signal. The download may take

several minutes; do not disturb or unplug the receiver during this

time. When the download is done, you will be able to use it to order

Pay-Per-View programs.

059

You may have tried to close an

installation menu without having

done the Check Switch test.

If your setup includes a multi-dish switch, you must do

the Check Switch test.

060

You may have aimed the satellite

dish at one satellite, but selected the

option for another satellite on the

Point Dish/Signal menu.

Make sure that you have selected the option for the right satellite on

the Point Dish/Signal menu.

Make sure that the cable(s) for the satellite you have selected are

connected to the LNBF that receives signals from that satellite.

Re-aim the satellite dish at the right satellite.

061

You may have interrupted the

transmission (a “download”) of the

latest operating software via the

satellite signal.

It is very important for the receiver to get the latest operating

software, so let the receiver do so. The “download” may take

several minutes. Do not disturb or unplug the receiver during this

time.

074

The receiver gives you three chances

to enter the correct password. If you

fail to do so, the receiver “times out”

and will not allow you to try again

for several minutes.

Wait a few minutes and then try again to enter the password.

Note: The “time out” feature is designed to prevent someone from

trying password after password until he or she happens to guess the

right one and so gains unauthorized access to the receiver.
