Before you do that, try out these few easy steps first if you still want to make it on time on your favorite show! Else, just go on to do what you plan to do. 1-800-333-DISH (3474) is the contact number of Dish Network technical support team. Just give them a call and they will try their best to fix your problem. However, its recommended for you to try fixing it out before calling the tech support. Below are checklists on what you should do. Firstly, reset your receiver by pressing and holding the Front Panel Power button on your satellite receiver for 10 seconds. Your receiver will reset and return to normal within a few minutes. This is to set the receiver to default setting in case you have made some unnecessary setting changes. Secondly, check that your TV is set to channel 3 or 4. If your remote control is identified by a blue number 2, also try channel 60 or 73. Thirdly, make sure the receiver is continuously connected to a working phone line. Without the phone line, receiver is unable to communicate with the dish. Fourthly, check out the low battery indicator on your TV screen and be sure to replace the batteries in your remote control as necessary. We will easily miss this part as this seldom happens still its an important step. Fifthly, check the dish outside your house whether there is anything that blocking your satellite signals (tree branches, snow, etc). Obstacles always cause snowy screen so be sure your dish is free from those things. With these 5 easy steps, you should be able to fix some of the problems! If these 5 steps dont help at all, please contact the Dish Network technical support. Please do not try removing neither any hardware nor the dish itself. Do not try to peep inside whats wrong as its dangerous. Safety always come first. |
