Quick Fixes for Most Common Problems

DISH Network prides itself on its award-winning, top-of-the-line

high-definition DVR receiver. In the event you experience any problems

watching or controlling your TV, try these quick fixes:

Blue, Black, Frozen or Snowy Screen:

»

Reset Your Receiver: If you see a blue, black, frozen or snowy screen,

press and hold the POWER button on the front panel of your receiver for

about 5 seconds. The receiver will restart and should return to programming

in just a few minutes. Resetting your receiver is like re-booting your computer.

»

Your TV May Be On The Wrong Channel / Input:

See the “TV Viewing Basics” panel to make sure your TV is set to the

correct channel number or input.

Remote Won’t Work:

Try replacing the batteries in your remote control. You may see a message on

your screen regarding low battery strength.

Satellite Signal Message:

If you get an “acquiring satellite signal” message, your signal will be restored

within minutes, not days or weeks like with cable. This is rare, and almost

always temporary.

If you have had inclement weather and continue to have signal issues after the

weather clears, make sure your dish antenna is not covered by snow, ice or a

fallen object. If it can be accessed safely and easily, gently clear your dish.
