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 goes away.

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.

screen is green and displays the word Locked. If not,

contact your installer to re-aim the satellite dish.

software before you can use it to

order Pay-Per-View programs.

the receiver during this time. When the download is done,

you will be able to use it to order Pay-Per-View programs.

selected are connected to the LNBF that receives signals

from that satellite. Re-aim the satellite dish at the right

satellite.
