Having problems? No problem.
You’ll find quick answers to the most common problems new
customers have on the next few pages. Some of the solutions are as
simple as resetting your receiver.
First, you’ll need to know that the ExpressVu satellite signal to your
dish needs to be unobstructed for the best quality picture and sound.
Severe weather, like heavy rain or snow, may temporarily interrupt
your viewing.
The signal can also be blocked by:
• An accumulation of snow or leaves on the dish.
• A growing tree blocking the signal path to the satellite.
Trouble-shooting tips.
If the screen has horizontal or vertical lines, or goes black,
blue or snowy:
• Check all your cable connections and that all connected
equipment is powered on.
• If you are using coaxial cables for connections, then your
TV and/or VCR must be on channel 3 or 4.
• Check that the input source is set correctly (try both TV
and VIDEO).
To lock shows by channel category:
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 above. Select LOCK PPV to lock out all Pay-Per-View.
You can also select HIDE ADULT to remove Adult channels from view.
