Why Connect to a Phone Line or Broadband
Chapter 1
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 and has an adverse effect on many 
satellite 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 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 112).
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 programs using your remote control 
(if you do not connect a phone line to your receiver). See the connection instructions on 
page 113, and the instructions for DishONLINE on page 35

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 POWER or SELECT on the remote control to resume watching
