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 94).
A connected phone line also supports the Caller ID feature of your ViP-series receiver (see the
instructions on ).
Your satellite receiver can be connected to your broadband home network. Currently this
connection allows you to order additional content not usually available through your satellite
subscription, and you can order pay-per-view events using your remote control (if you do not
connect a phone line to your receiver). See the connection instructions on and more information
about Pay-Per-View programming on .

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 the POWER or
SELECT button on the remote control to resume watching your satellite TV programming. Make
sure you are using the correct remote control for your current TV-viewing location (see for
details).

• Always have the latest software—Turn off the receiver when you’re not using it.
• Order Pay-Per-View with your remote control—Keep an active telephone line or broadband
network connected to the receiver. Not only will you have Pay-Per-View at your fingertips, but
you’ll also avoid unnecessary charges.
