can order DISH Entertainment Magazine [contact DISH at 1-800-333-DISH (3474) or visit

I am trying to watch a program, but the TV Activity displays instead.
What to do: All tuners on the receivers are currently in use, either by other TVs, the
DVR(s) recording a program(s), the receivers taking a software download, and/or a remote
viewing session occurring. You can wait until a tuner becomes available, watch the same
programming that is displaying on another TV, stop a recording, or select PrimeTime
Anytime®, On Demand, or DVR.
