Use this procedure only if you have accidentally changed the TV 
channel or video input. It does not recover lost satellite signal. 

Note: RECOVER will first try to tune your TV to channel 3, then 
channel 4, and then other video inputs with each press of the 
RECOVER button. You may need to press the RECOVER button 
up to 30 times to recover your satellite TV video.

1. Press and hold the RECOVER button until all four mode 

buttons light, and then let go of the button. The SAT mode 
button flashes twice and then all four mode buttons flash three
