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.

The receiver may not be connected
to an active telephone line.
The 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 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
authorized. 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.

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.
032
You may have tried to set a VCR
Event Timer without having set up
the receiver to control the VCR. You must set up the receiver to control the VCR before you can set
a VCR Event Timer. See the Using the System for instructions.

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.

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 set up the receiver
to accept a 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.
