Why Connect to a Phone Line or Broadband
Solar Interference
Twice a year, the sun moves to a position behind
the DISH Network satellites as they orbit 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 satellites, the programs will
reappear. This is an unavoidable natural event for
all television involving the use of satellites and has
an adverse effect on many 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 are able to order pay-per-view programs using your remote control, use all of the
DishHOME Interactive TV features, and use other services from DISH Network.
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.
